Running on Android
------------------
+To run on android, the device needs to have Geckoview or Fenix installed on it. Our tests will only work with physical devices, and `bug 1881570 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1881570>`__ tracks progress for enabling virtual devices (emulators). Running either of the commands below will attempt to install locally built APKs to the device **while uninstalling/removing any existing APKs of the package on the device**, but this can be skipped by setting ``MOZ_DISABLE_ADB_INSTALL=1`` in your environment. When that environment variable exists, we expect the APK to be pre-installed on the device.

Updating Benchmark Tests
------------------------

To upgrade any of our benchmark tests, you will need to change the revision used in the test manifest. There are three fields that you have available to use there: ``repository_revision`` to denote the revision, ``repository_branch`` to denote the branch name, and ``repository`` to provide the link of the Github repo that contains the benchmark.
For instance, with Speedometer 3 (sp3), we can update the revision `by changing the repository_revision field found here <https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/aa3ccd258b64abfd4c5ce56c1f512bc7f65b844c/testing/raptor/raptor/tests/benchmarks/speedometer-desktop.ini#29>`_.

* Find the latest one from here: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=mozilla-central&searchStr=geckodriver
* Alternatively, if you're trying to figure out which geckodriver a given CI task is using, you can click on the browsertime task in treeherder, and then click on the ``Task`` id in the bottom left of the pop-up interface. Then in the window that opens up, click on `See more` in the task details tab on the left, this will show you the dependent tasks with the latest toolchain-geckodriver being used.
