I fixed it now by downgrading the Android SDK tools, as seen at How to downgrade my SDK Version? Your emulator name should be followed by #. Now to invoke the emulator you created through android studio, just enter this command. this is because there are emulator files in these folders as well.Įxport ANDROID_HOME=Users/YOUR_MAC/Library/Android/sdkĮxport PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATHĮxport PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$PATHĪfter doing this all you need to do is navigate to 'emulator' folder through terminal by->Ĭd Users/YOUR_MAC/Library/Android/sdk/emulator Your bash file should be created properly, the path to emulator folder should be added in the bash file and make sure it comes before platform-tools and tools paths.
To invoke the the emulator from the terminal window, I think the problem is caused because there are many files with the name of 'emulator' in the android sdk folder. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Opening the emulator through Android Studio works fine so I played around with the command a bit and the result is that the -engine classic flag is causing this, otherwise the emulator starts without problems.Īs the Jenkins Emulator plugin depends on the -engine classic flag I can't remove it. The emulator version is 26.0.0 as reported by the Android SDK Manager. This used to always work but now it suddenly returns with the following error: The plugin calls the following command:Įmulator -engine classic -ports 5754,5755 -report-console tcp:5866,max=60 -avd Nexus_4_API_23 -no-snapshot-load -no-snapshot-save -no-audio -gpu off
You can do it here: Or just do update of SDK:Ĭ:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\android.bat update sdkĪndroid Emulator Error “Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU” when using -engine classic I just updated our build server's Android Studio to 2.3.1 and somehow along the way the emulator stopped working for the Jenkin's Android Emulator Plugin.
Here is the official document for Android emulator command line usage: Try either one of above to see which is your case.
If you want to run emulator from command line,įor newer version of Android SDK, the emulator path should be something as below:įor older version of Android SDK, the emulator path is as below: But I have problem, when I launchīut I can run the emulator from android studio and it's working fine! I have an intel processor. Windows emulator.exe PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU I'm trying to use emulator.exe as android emulator for Charles Proxy. If you want to use it now only with installed Android SDK tools you have to download it with sdkmanager. I think emulator.exe under the "tools" folder is for previous versions of Android SDK Tools, see following link. I have seen same things in current version of Android SDK Tools.
So the question is, whats the use of Sdk\tools\emulator.exe? Or is my install broken somehow?
In the Sdk\emulator folder there's also a whole slew of different emulator executables (64, arm, ect.). HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode.Įmulator: Saving state on exit with session uptime 2068 ms PS D:\AppiumTest> C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator -avd Nexus_5x_API_27_x86 However if I run it with the emulator in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator it runs as it should. There's also no other emulator executables in the tools folder. PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU. PS D:\AppiumTest> emulator -avd Nexus_5x_API_27_x86 And %ANDROID_HOME%\tools to PATH as according to it uses the emulator executable in there (at least on Mac OS).īut if I run that emulator it panics with:
I added ANDROID_HOME to point towards C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk, since Appium wants this defined. Running through Android Studio it runs fine. Difference between emulators - android I've created a virtual device Nexus_5X_API_27_x86.
