Robocop

This project contains a sample android application and automates the process of building, uploading, and testing the application. It focuses on two primary workflows: building and uploading Android APKs, and dispatching a separate workflow to run automated tests on BrowserStack.

Key Features

• Automated APK Build and Upload: The apk-upload.yml workflow automatically builds and uploads an Android APK.
• Automated Test Dispatch: The robocop-automate-dispatch.yml workflow triggers a separate test automation workflow.
• Manual and Scheduled Triggers: Workflows can be triggered manually or on a schedule.

Workflows

This project is built around two core GitHub Actions workflows:

apk-upload.yml

This workflow is responsible for building and uploading an Android APK.

Purpose:

• Builds an Android APK: Uses Gradle to build a release version of the Android application.
• Uploads the APK: Uploads the generated APK as an artifact, making it available for download or use in other workflows.

Trigger:

• Manual: Can be triggered manually via workflow_dispatch.
• Scheduled: Runs automatically every day at 23:00 UTC (using a cron schedule).

robocop-automate-dispatch.yml

This workflow is responsible for dispatching the browserstack-automation.yml workflow in the Robocop-automate project, which handles the actual test execution on BrowserStack.

Purpose:

• Triggers Test Automation: Dispatches the browserstack-automation.yml workflow to run automated tests.

Trigger:

• Automated: Triggered on successful completion of the apk-upload.yml workflow.
