are mobile device tests working?

WebPageTest General Discussion

Hi, I’m unable to get any good results from the android or iphone devices in Dulles, VA. Simply getting

The test failed to run.

and the screenshots show an about:blank page. Have tried a few times today.

However, the waterfalls are showing all the right requests, so I am assuming they are working, which may be good enough for now :slight_smile:

Do you have a sample result?

Here’s an Android test I just ran: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140910_76_K21/

and iOS: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140910_4S_JWN/

I’m having similar issues. I’m trying some VERY basic script tests using setDnsName and Navigate through the webpagetest UI , and even the most basic script “navigate” by itself fails

iPhone 4 iOS 5.1 - empty result

Nexus 5 - getGUID error

Interestingly enough, when I switched from 1 run to 2 runs, and turned on repeat view, I seem to get a little more success, albeit with an error or two

As a side note, I’m just trying to understand what capabilities wpt has around actual mobile testing and validate what scripts work across HTTP/HTTPS across various devices.

Hi, I thought I’d bump this again. I tried a sample test again

Simple Navigate

Navigate + setDnsName

And I get Object # has no method ‘getuid’. I believe I saw the UI say setDnsName and navigate are valid, so I’m struggling to understand if I’m doing something wrong.

The mobile agents don’t support the WebPagetest scripting (yet anyway), no matter how basic.

Thanks Pat, the UI gave a warning and a sample script on my first attempt (late November?) saying only setDnsName and navigate were supported, so I thought that had been addressed.
