Question

I just can t find the help.py file in order to create the API reference for the monkeyrunner. The command described at the Android references

monkeyrunner <format> help.py <outfile> does not work when i call monkeyrunner html help.py /path/to/place/the/doc.html.

It s quite obvious that the help.py file is not found and the monkeyrunner also tells me "Can t open specified script file". But a locate on my system doesn t bring me a help.py file that has anything to do with monkeyrunner or Android.

So my question is: Where did they hide the help.py file for creating the API reference?

Answer 1

I cannot find it either. But one can assume that it is simply calling MonkeyRunner.help() with the passed in arguments. If you just want to get something quick use this script I created also named help.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice

text = MonkeyRunner.help("html");

f = open( help.html ,  w )
f.write(text);
f.close();

Run it just like any other monkeyrunner script:

$ monkeyrunner help.py

Answer 2

After I have all codes in my machine (i.e, repo sync), it is at mydroid/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts along with other three:

help.py monkey_playback.py monkey_recorder.py mr_pydoc.py

Answer 3

This is brilliant answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/4470513/551383 but if you really want this file is in android source i.e. http://androidxref.com/4.2_r1/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py

Answer 4

http://androidxref.com/source/xref/sdk/monkeyrunner/scripts/help.py

I believe the documentation on the website starts from that script, but I m pretty sure somebody edits it a bit afterwards as well.

Answer 5

There s an error in monkeyrunner s help documentation (monkeyrunner Built-in Help), you should use parameters in another order:

monkeyrunner help.py <format> <outfile>

And don t forget about specifying a full path to the script, if you re running it outside of the monkeyrunner.bat directory (android monkeyrunner scripts).
If you don t have Repo Sync, described by users above, you can find the sources (including help.py), for example, here: monkeyrunner scripts.

I opened an issue at Google Code (Issue 26259: monkeyrunner Built-in Help Description Error) and I hope that they ll fix it soon.
