ADB/iDevice path not found in IntelliJ plugin

[kuhnroyal]

I didn't find a place to report problems with the IntelliJ plugin so i'll post here for now.
When I try to connect, the IntelliJ dialog displays ADB/iDevice path not found with a yellow warning sign.

I am not sure what to do, this worked previously at some point.
Any ideas?

Can you go the the IntelliJ settings -> Other settings -> Moor inspector. There should be a button to test/adapt your configuration.

[kuhnroyal]

Didn't see this before. Same thing there. My colleague has the same result in the settings but he can connect to a device.
I will try to manually configure.

[NicolaVerbeeck]

Does it say anything specific in the test configuration results? Can you include it here?

[kuhnroyal]

No but now I configured the correct ADB path and installed libimobiledevice via brew. My colleague hasn't done this and can connect. For me it isn't even listing the device.
I am testing with an attached iPad.

Testing ADB
=======================================
ADB defined at path: /Users/foo/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb
ADB path seems ok
Checking adb command
Starting adb server
Listing devices
ADB devices returns: 0 device(s)

Testing iDevice
=======================================
iMobileDevice folder defined at path: /usr/local/bin
ideviceinfo seems ok
iproxy seems ok
idevice_id seems ok

Curious, perhaps he had it installed as a transitive dependency from somewhere else.

As I don't have a readily available iPhone or iPad lying around I can't really check right now. When working with the inspector I am usually running on an ios simulator anyway.

I will have to find some time/devices to see if I can reproduce it

[NicolaVerbeeck]

@kuhnroyal can you provide me the output of: idevice_id -l

[kuhnroyal]

I have restarted everything, disabled MacOs firewall but no success.

$ idevice_id -l                                                                                                                             1 ↵  10151  16:08:40 

I have 2 iOS simulators running and one attached device. This is the device that is returned.

iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (2nd gen) (mobile)                    • 34c3e41ae86f22a8063d05026e056b391d61068f • ios         • iOS 14.0.1

[kuhnroyal]

It also is not showing any Android emulator or devices.

[NicolaVerbeeck]

Ok, so it is finding the connected device (idevice_id never finds simulators, they work differently).
What does adb devices return as output?
Are you running any apps at that time that use the moor_inspector dart library? This is required for them to show up in the device explorer.

[kuhnroyal]

Yes the app is running, I also verified that the "server started with port number" appears in the logs.

$ adb devices                                                                                                                                   10153  16:10:40 

If you try to connect directly to the ipad by entering the port number you see in the logs and it's IP address, does it work then?
The idevice and adb commands are used internally to setup a reverse TCP tunnel to facilitate this for you but manual mode 'should' work. If this works (or does not), we are zeroing in on the issue. Note that this does not work for simulators/emulators.

[kuhnroyal]

If you try to connect directly to the ipad by entering the port number you see in the logs and it's IP address, does it work then?

No, I have tried this but I will try again with the disabled firewall.

[NicolaVerbeeck]

I don't know about your network setup, but on LAN the firewall should not kick in.

[kuhnroyal]

Yea it should not and it also didn't change anything.
Copied the port number directly from the output.

I don't know... since it doesn't work with simulator either, it is probably something weird.

[NicolaVerbeeck]

Well, it does not help that I was trying to parse the IP address as the port number 🤦 I will fix this in a new release but this takes time as it needs to be reviewed by JetBrains.

If you still happen to have an ios simulator running could you run the following command:
echo -e '\x01' | nc localhost 6395
This will trigger all local running processes that have moor_inspector on to report their connection information.

Eg: echo -e '\x01' | nc localhost 6395 [{"packageName":"com.test","port":57213,"pid":-1,"protocol":1,"extensions":[{"name":"tag","data":"NTM4OTJi"}]}]
