Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Device Farm examples using Amazon CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with Device Farm.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios and cross-service examples.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Each example includes a link to GitHub, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use create-device-pool.

Amazon CLI

To create a device pool

The following command creates an Android device pool for a project:

aws devicefarm create-device-pool --name pool1 --rules file://device-pool-rules.json --project-arn "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:project:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506"

You can get the project ARN from the output of create-project or list-projects. The file device-pool-rules.json is a JSON document in the current folder that specifies the device platform:

[
    {
        "attribute": "PLATFORM",
        "operator": "EQUALS",
        "value": "\"ANDROID\""
    }
]

Output:

{
    "devicePool": {
        "rules": [
            {
                "operator": "EQUALS",
                "attribute": "PLATFORM",
                "value": "\"ANDROID\""
            }
        ],
        "type": "PRIVATE",
        "name": "pool1",
        "arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:devicepool:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/2aa8d2a9-5e73-47ca-b929-659cb34b7dcd"
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use create-project.

Amazon CLI

To create a project

The following command creates a new project named my-project:

aws devicefarm create-project --name my-project

Output:

{
    "project": {
        "name": "myproject",
        "arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:project:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506",
        "created": 1503612890.057
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use create-upload.

Amazon CLI

To create an upload

The following command creates an upload for an Android app:

aws devicefarm create-upload --project-arn "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:project:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506" --name app.apk --type ANDROID_APP

You can get the project ARN from the output of create-project or list-projects.

Output:

{
    "upload": {
        "status": "INITIALIZED",
        "name": "app.apk",
        "created": 1503614408.769,
        "url": "https://prod-us-west-2-uploads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aproject%3A070fc3ca-c7e1-4471-91cf-d3e4efc50604/uploads/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aupload%3A070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/dd72723a-ae9e-4087-09e6-f4cea3599514/app.apk?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20170824T224008Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAEXAMPLEPBUMBC3GA%2F20170824%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=05050370c38894ef5bd09f5d009f36fc8f96fa4bb04e1bba9aca71b8dbe49a0f",

    }
}

Use the signed URL in the output to upload a file to Device Farm:

curl -T app.apk "https://prod-us-west-2-uploads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aproject%3A070fc3ca-c7e1-4471-91cf-d3e4efc50604/uploads/arn%3Aaws%3Adevicefarm%3Aus-west-2%3A123456789012%3Aupload%3A070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/dd72723a-ae9e-4087-09e6-f4cea3599514/app.apk?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20170824T224008Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAEXAMPLEPBUMBC3GA%2F20170824%2Fus-west-2%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=05050370c38894ef5bd09f5d009f36fc8f96fa4bb04e1bba9aca71b8dbe49a0f"
