Some testing questions

I have a few questions regarding testing

1) Does anyone know if the device identifier of the simulator is always the same? I've tested it with two different watches and it seems to be the same, but I'm not sure if the identifier stays the same even when using it elsewhere?

2) Does anyone know how/if I can print out what the type of thing is of an object? There is instanceof, so you can say, if (foo instanceof bar) but what if I want to know what bar is before I instanceof it? Or actually, I want to print out the instanceof a object and I want to print out what the instance of is in my test function.

2) As there's no typeof operator in Monkey C (or equivalent), the only way to do so is to write a bunch of hardcoded instanceof checks for the types you're interested in:

Hmm, I was kinda worried about that. What I'm trying to do is to do something like this:

  function instanceOf(needle, instance, msg) {
    try {
      ok(needle instanceof instance, msg);
    }
    catch {
        Sys.println(Lang.format("Got: $1$\nExpect: $2$\n", [ typeof needle, instance ]));
        throw e;
    }
  }

It doens't seem I can do that.

No, I don't think you can :/

And as for number one,

Yes, the sim's device ID never changes for your app. You can reset the sim, update the app, or change devices in the sim, and the ID should never change. Same for any user's device. They can uninstall your app, then reinstall it and get the exact same ID.

So the sim device ID on my machine is the same as on your machine?

0 SirLancelot over 4 years ago in reply to waterkip

I don't think so. I think I remember hearing it's a combination off your app's uuid and the watch's uuid.

Interesting, the application uuid indeed triggers a new device ID. A different watch does not. So that means if you checkout my sources... I suspect that you get the same device ID with the sim. I tested fenix6, 6xpro, 7 and a d2charlie and they all return the same device ID.

By "device id" do you mean uniqueIdentifier?

in CIQ you can't get the app ID (what's in the manifest.xml file), nor can you get the unit id/serial number. But uniqueIdentifier is the two of them combined in some way. It varies between devices, but is consistent for an app/device pair, even if you uninstall/reinstall.

There is partNumber, which "kind of" tells you the device you are on, but varies between the WW devices and APAC variants
