Product Description

No user-facing changes. Instrumentation test infrastructure only — nothing here ships in the app.

Technical Summary

Two independent fixes to instrumentation test infrastructure, both aimed at flakiness on
BrowserStack.

1. setNetworkEnabled waits on real connectivity, not on the Wi-Fi toggle

setNetworkEnabled issues three shell commands (svc wifi, wifi_wakeup, svc data) and then
waited on WifiManager.isWifiEnabled. That check reads back the setting the first command just
wrote, so it returned almost immediately and told us nothing about whether traffic could actually
flow. It also ignored mobile data entirely — a device could return from setNetworkEnabled(false)
with cellular still up.

Replaced with waitForNetworkConnectivity, which polls the active network's capabilities:

capabilities.hasCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_INTERNET) &&
    capabilities.hasCapability(NET_CAPABILITY_VALIDATED)

This is transport-agnostic, so a single wait covers Wi-Fi and cellular, and VALIDATED means the
device has confirmed a working internet path rather than merely an enabled radio. Same 10s timeout
and 2s poll interval as before; the thrown message now names setNetworkEnabled instead of the
long-deleted changeWifi.

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE is already declared in the manifest and is install-time granted, so no new
permissions or GrantPermissionRule entries are needed. API 23+ throughout, matching minSdk.

2. Pin BrowserStack device locale to en-US

scripts/browserstack.py now sends language: en / locale: US. BrowserStack devices otherwise
come up in whatever locale the pool assigns, which breaks any assertion matching on English UI
strings or on date and number formatting.

3. Drive-by: removed the WifiManager import left unused by change 1.

Safety Assurance

Safety story

Test-only. Nothing in this PR is compiled into a shipped APK — InstrumentationUtility lives in
app/instrumentation-tests, and browserstack.py is CI tooling. Worst case is that instrumentation
tests fail or hang, which is visible in CI and cannot reach users or existing data.

Verified locally:

  • :app:assembleCommcareDebugAndroidTest builds clean
  • ktlintFile clean on InstrumentationUtility.kt

Worth a reviewer's attention:

  • waitForNetworkConnectivity(true) requires a validated internet path. On a BrowserStack device
    behind a captive portal or with no working upstream, validation never completes and the helper
    throws after 10s instead of returning early as the old Wi-Fi check did. That is the intended
    trade — a loud failure beats a test proceeding without network — but it does mean this can surface
    environment problems that were previously silent.
  • 16 call sites across 6 test classes use setNetworkEnabled, so the blast radius within the
    instrumentation suite is wide even though it is zero outside it.

Automated test coverage

No new tests. This is test infrastructure, and the coverage that matters is the existing
BrowserStack suite — DemoUserOfflineTest, LoginTest, FormEntryTest, MenuTests,
ManualQuarantineTest all toggle the network and are the tests that exercise this path.

A full BrowserStack run is the real verification and has not been done yet; the offline-behaviour
tests above are the ones to watch, since they are the tests whose flakiness motivated the change.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Instrumentation network checks now use active network capabilities and validation status. setNetworkEnabled waits for the requested connectivity state and reports a timeout when the state is not reached. BrowserStack test configuration now sets English as the language and US as the locale.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7912c

The connectivity wait may exceed its documented 10-second timeout by up to about two seconds when polling near the deadline, delaying instrumentation failures. This is a bounded, non-blocking risk that should be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the connectivity wait within timeoutMs.

The fixed sleep(2) can start just before deadline. It then delays the failure by up to two additional seconds. This violates the stated 10-second timeout.

Proposed fix
         while (System.currentTimeMillis() < deadline) {
             if (isNetworkConnected(connectivityManager) == expectedConnected) return
-            sleep(2)
+            val remainingMs = deadline - System.currentTimeMillis()
+            if (remainingMs > 0) {
+                onView(isRoot()).perform(sleep(minOf(2_000L, remainingMs)))
+            }
         }
