setCamera

Feeds a video file into the camera of the simulator, so the app under test sees the video instead of a blank camera. Use it to test flows like QR code scanning or document capture. This command runs only on Momentic-hosted iOS simulators. It is not supported on Android or on local simulators.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`path`	`string`	Yes	Path to the video file on the host. May be a local path or a URL.
`loop`	`boolean`	No	Repeat the video until it is cleared. Defaults to `true`.
`saveAs`	`string`	No	Variable to store this step’s return value on `env.<name>`.
`retries`	`number`	No	Times to retry the step on failure before failing the test.
`skipped`	`boolean`	No	Skip this step at execution time.

Use an .mp4, .mov, or .m4v file with a decodable video track.

Examples

Simplified form:

- setCamera: ./fixtures/qr-code.mp4

Detailed form, with a single pass instead of a loop:

- setCamera:
    path: ./fixtures/qr-code.mp4
    loop: false

The camera feed stays active until you change it or clear it. Put the step in before to keep one feed active for the whole test:

before:
  - setCamera: ./fixtures/qr-code.mp4
steps:
  - tap: Scan code
  - checkScreenContains: Code accepted

You can also change the feed during a test:

steps:
  - setCamera: ./fixtures/first-code.mp4
  - tap: Scan code
  - setCamera: ./fixtures/second-code.mp4
  - tap: Scan again
  - clearCamera
