Nativescript-cli: How to use livesync with genymotion

[abhisekgithub]

Hello,

    I succeeded to run the groceries app in genymotion emulator. But I want to execute the app in livesync mode, But I am unable to find the command to execute livesync along with genymotion emulator

I have tried
tns emulate android --geny "mydevice name"
this is working perfectly

But when I am using

tns emulate android --geny "mydevice name" livesync android --emulator --watch
it is not working.
And can't find in the documentation how to make it work

Hi @abhisekgithub ,
You have to execute two separate commands:

tns emulate android --geny "mydevice name" --juslaunch

This will install the app on your device and will start it.
After that you have to start the livesync command:

tns livesync android --watch

Now you can make changes in your code and they'll be synced on the device :)

Resolved. Thanks

Hi @abhisekgithub , like an alternative I try:
tns run android --geny "Custom Phone"livesync --watch
and it worked.

Hi,
I used the following one simple command to emulate on Geny and it worked smoothly. FYI, I am using Windows 7:

tns livesync android --geny "my device name" --watch
Make sure that the device is connected which you can see using the following command:
adb devices

[ishandutta2007]

do you mean livesync on a new terminal ?
because tns emulate android --geny Google_Nexus_5X_6_API23_1080x1920 doesnt terminate .

@ishandutta2007 you seem to have omitted the --justlaunch flag which will terminate the CLI process .

Alternatively you could start a genymotion emulator manually and execute tns run android, which will automatically livesync to the running device/emulator.
