maestro

/maestro — mobile E2E (YAML, multi-env)

Wraps maestro test. Profiles = device + app build per environment.

Profile resolution: --profile → MAESTRO_PROFILE → ~/.maestro/active_profile → [default].

Dependencies

curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash    # macOS / Linux
# Windows: scoop install maestro  (or use WSL)
maestro --version

iOS: Xcode + simulator. Android: Android Studio + emulator.

Profile config

~/.maestro/profiles.ini (mode 600 — may contain Cloud key):

[default]
platform = ios                        # ios | android
device = iPhone 15
app_id = com.example.app
flows_dir = .maestro

[android-emu]
platform = android
device = Pixel_7_API_34               # AVD name
app_id = com.example.app
flows_dir = .maestro

[staging-cloud]
platform = android
device = R5XY...                      # serial of physical device
app_id = com.example.app.staging
flows_dir = .maestro
cloud_api_key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     # Maestro Cloud

Helpers

source "$HOME/.claude-team-toolkit/lib/credentials.sh"
ctt_load_creds maestro "$PROFILE"

# Verify device reachable
case "$CTT_PLATFORM" in
  ios) xcrun simctl list devices "$CTT_DEVICE" | grep -q Booted || xcrun simctl boot "$CTT_DEVICE" ;;
  android) adb devices | grep -q "$CTT_DEVICE" || { echo "Device not connected" >&2; return 1; } ;;

Dispatch

run <flow.yaml> [--continuous]

ARGS=()
[ "$CONTINUOUS" = "true" ] && ARGS+=(--continuous)
maestro test "${ARGS[@]}" "$FLOW"

--continuous re-runs on file changes — great for authoring.

run-all [--tags smoke,critical]

maestro test "$CTT_FLOWS_DIR/" \
  ${TAGS:+--include-tags "$TAGS"} \
  --format junit --output /tmp/maestro-results/

record <flow.yaml> — interactive flow recorder

maestro record "$FLOW"

Point/tap to record actions → save as YAML. Tester-friendly (no coding).

studio — visual flow editor (browser-based)

maestro studio

inspect [--app <bundle-id>] — view hierarchy

maestro hierarchy --app "${APP_ID:-$CTT_APP_ID}"

Find element selectors / accessibility IDs.

tags — list all tags used in flows

grep -h "^tags:" -A 20 "$CTT_FLOWS_DIR"/*.yaml | grep "^- " | sort -u

flaky-report [--last N] — detect flaky tests from JUnit results

LAST="${LAST:-10}"
ls -t /tmp/maestro-results/*.xml | head -n "$LAST" | xargs python3 -c '
import sys, xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from collections import defaultdict
results = defaultdict(list)
for f in sys.argv[1:]:
  for tc in ET.parse(f).iter("testcase"):
    failed = tc.find("failure") is not None or tc.find("error") is not None
    results[tc.get("name")].append(failed)
print("Flaky tests (passed AND failed across runs):")
for n, runs in results.items():
  if any(runs) and not all(runs):
    print(f"  {n}: {sum(runs)}/{len(runs)} fail rate")
'

cloud upload <flow-or-folder> [--name <run-name>] — Maestro Cloud

[ -z "$CTT_CLOUD_API_KEY" ] && { echo "Set cloud_api_key in profile" >&2; return 1; }
maestro cloud --apiKey "$CTT_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
  ${NAME:+--name "$NAME"} \
  "$APP" "$FLOW_OR_FOLDER"

<app> for cloud is the build artifact (.app/.ipa/.apk), not bundle ID.

from-xlsx <xlsx-path> — scaffold from xlsx test cases

Delegates to xlsx-testcases gen maestro — see that skill.

Flow patterns (cheat sheet)

# Common actions
- launchApp
- tapOn: "Submit"             # by text
- tapOn:
    id: "submit-btn"          # by accessibility id
- inputText: "${EMAIL}"
- assertVisible: "Welcome"
- assertNotVisible: "Login"
- waitForAnimationToEnd
- extendedWaitUntil: { visible: "Loaded", timeout: 30000 }
- scrollUntilVisible: { element: "Footer", direction: DOWN }
- runFlow: { file: ../subflows/login.yaml }

Variables via env: EMAIL=test@example.com maestro test flow.yaml. Inside YAML: ${EMAIL}.

Safety

• Never commit credentials in flow YAML. Use ${ENV_VAR} + document required vars in flow comment.
• Cloud API key per-account — limited blast radius. Prefer CI-scoped key.
• Physical devices: Maestro can interact with anything on screen including OS dialogs. Run only on dedicated test devices, never personal phones.
• Recordings capture screen — don't record flows with real user data / prod accounts.
