The rule’s stringified attribute. For example, specify the value as "\"abc\"" .

The supported operators for each attribute are provided in the following list.

APPIUM_VERSION

The Appium version for the test.

Supported operators: CONTAINS

ARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the device (for example, arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2::device:12345Example .

Supported operators: EQUALS , IN , NOT_IN

AVAILABILITY

The current availability of the device. Valid values are AVAILABLE, HIGHLY_AVAILABLE, BUSY, or TEMPORARY_NOT_AVAILABLE.

Supported operators: EQUALS

FLEET_TYPE

The fleet type. Valid values are PUBLIC or PRIVATE.

Supported operators: EQUALS

FORM_FACTOR

The device form factor. Valid values are PHONE or TABLET.

Supported operators: EQUALS , IN , NOT_IN

INSTANCE_ARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the device instance.

Supported operators: IN , NOT_IN

INSTANCE_LABELS

The label of the device instance.

Supported operators: CONTAINS

MANUFACTURER

The device manufacturer (for example, Apple).

Supported operators: EQUALS , IN , NOT_IN

MODEL

The device model, such as Apple iPad Air 2 or Google Pixel.

Supported operators: CONTAINS , EQUALS , IN , NOT_IN

OS_VERSION

The operating system version (for example, 10.3.2).

Supported operators: EQUALS , GREATER_THAN , GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUALS , IN , LESS_THAN , LESS_THAN_OR_EQUALS , NOT_IN

PLATFORM

The device platform. Valid values are ANDROID or IOS.

Supported operators: EQUALS , IN , NOT_IN

REMOTE_ACCESS_ENABLED

Whether the device is enabled for remote access. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.

Supported operators: EQUALS

REMOTE_DEBUG_ENABLED

Whether the device is enabled for remote debugging. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.

Supported operators: EQUALS

Because remote debugging is no longer supported , this filter is ignored.

operator -> (string)

Specifies how Device Farm compares the rule’s attribute to the value. For the operators that are supported by each attribute, see the attribute descriptions.

value -> (string)

The rule’s value.

Shorthand Syntax:

attribute=string,operator=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "attribute": "ARN"|"PLATFORM"|"FORM_FACTOR"|"MANUFACTURER"|"REMOTE_ACCESS_ENABLED"|"REMOTE_DEBUG_ENABLED"|"APPIUM_VERSION"|"INSTANCE_ARN"|"INSTANCE_LABELS"|"FLEET_TYPE"|"OS_VERSION"|"MODEL"|"AVAILABILITY",
    "operator": "EQUALS"|"LESS_THAN"|"LESS_THAN_OR_EQUALS"|"GREATER_THAN"|"GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUALS"|"IN"|"NOT_IN"|"CONTAINS",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--max-devices (integer)

The number of devices that Device Farm can add to your device pool. Device Farm adds devices that are available and meet the criteria that you assign for the rules parameter. Depending on how many devices meet these constraints, your device pool might contain fewer devices than the value for this parameter.

By specifying the maximum number of devices, you can control the costs that you incur by running tests.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a device pool

The following command creates an Android device pool for a project:

aws devicefarm create-device-pool --name pool1 --rules file://device-pool-rules.json --project-arn "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:project:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506"

You can get the project ARN from the output of create-project or list-projects. The file device-pool-rules.json is a JSON document in the current folder that specifies the device platform:

[
    {
        "attribute": "PLATFORM",
        "operator": "EQUALS",
        "value": "\"ANDROID\""
    }
]

Output:

{
    "devicePool": {
        "rules": [
            {
                "operator": "EQUALS",
                "attribute": "PLATFORM",
                "value": "\"ANDROID\""
            }
        ],
        "type": "PRIVATE",
        "name": "pool1",
        "arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:123456789012:devicepool:070fc3ca-7ec1-4741-9c1f-d3e044efc506/2aa8d2a9-5e73-47ca-b929-659cb34b7dcd"
    }
}
