# Xcode simulator keepalive/cleanup
|
|
|
|
Keep-alive directory for simulators managed by xcode that may be created during
|
|
drone CI jobs.
|
|
|
|
These scripts are placed in a /Users/$USER/sim-keepalive directory; keepalive.sh
|
|
is called from a CI job to set up a keepalive, while cleanup.py is intended to
|
|
be run once/minute via cron to deal with cleaning up old simulators from killed
|
|
CI pipelines.
|
|
|
|
The directory itself will have files created that look like a UDID and are
|
|
checked periodically (by cleanup.py); any that have a timestamp less than the
|
|
current time will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
## Simple timeout
|
|
|
|
A CI job can invoke the keepalive.sh script with a UDID value and a time
|
|
interval: the keepalive script will set up a file that will keep the simulator
|
|
alive for the given interval, then deletes it once the interval is passed. The
|
|
script exits immediately in this mode. Shortly (up to a minute) after the
|
|
timestamp is reached the simulator device will be deleted (if it still exists).
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
/Users/$USER/sim-keepalive/keepalive.sh $udid "5 minutes"
|
|
|
|
for a fixed 5-minute cleanup timeout.
|
|
|
|
## Indefinite timeout
|
|
|
|
For a job where the precise time required isn't known or varies significantly
|
|
there is a script in this directory that provides a simple keep-alive script
|
|
that will create and periodically update the $udid file to keep the simulator
|
|
alive.
|
|
|
|
This is moderately more complex to set up as you must add a parallel job (using
|
|
`depends_on`) to the CI pipeline that runs the script for the duration of the
|
|
steps that require the simulator:
|
|
|
|
/Users/$USER/sim-keepalive/keepalive.sh $udid
|
|
|
|
the script periodically touches the sim-keepalive/$udid to keep the simulator
|
|
alive as long as the keep alive script runs. To stop the keepalive (i.e. when
|
|
the task is done) simply run:
|
|
|
|
rm /Users/$USER/sim-keepalive/$udid
|
|
|
|
which will cause the keepalive script to immediately shut down the simulator
|
|
with the given UDID and then exits the keepalive script.
|
|
|
|
If the pipeline gets killed, the keepalive script stops updating the file and
|
|
the simulator will be killed by the periodic cleanup within the next couple
|
|
minutes.

# crontab entry
|
|
|
|
A crontab entry must be added to run the CI user's crontab to periodically run
|
|
cleanup.py:
|
|
|
|
* * * * * ~/sim-keepalive/cleanup.py
