DeviceAgentException : Failed to launch simulator (Cannot find the specified file)
AUMember ✭✭
I had the setup working until today and started to get the following error.
Xamarin.TestCloud.Agent (ver. 0.20.3)
Xamarin.UITest (ver. 2.0.0-beta05)
Error

@Soo-hongSuh Is this still happening?
If it happens again, what are the contents of
/var/folders/jw/1q7j1mpd7ds666nw73b439900000gn/T/xdb/DeviceAgent.iOS.Dependencies/c161689390f54e0320a22e0cb18312d7/bin/(or the actual directory is referenced in the error when you run it)?And can you then delete the temporary folder $TMPDIR/xdb and try running again?
The file didn't exist on the referenced folder. I've deleted the xdv folder and it is working again.
Thank you.
We also hit this issue on latest stable packages. (Agent v0.20.3, UITest 2.0.0)

The referenced bin directory:
/var/folders/bn/4tfs58bs2_5_pgyd54c3zcs80000gr/T/xdb/DeviceAgent.iOS.Dependencies/93c12f73043a2d14eea9d417ab080eb4/bin
exists, but is completely empty.
I deleted the suggested folder:
$TMPDIR/xdb
The simulator now launches successfully, and the test runs correctly.
I also ran into this and tried what @Soo-hongSuh did and it worked! Thanks!
I got this again today. Once again the referenced bin directory was empty. Again, deleting $TMPDIR/xdb addressed the issue.
Forgot to mention, I do NOT have the latest stable IDE yet, we're locked down for this release.
Same here, stable version of XS and Xcode 8.1
