MobCamera.SelfTest (mob_camera v0.1.15)

Copy Markdown View Source

The plugin's on-device proof (Mob.Plugin.SelfTest), run by mix mob.selftest and mob_ci for every activated plugin.

One native call, no camera session, no UI: camera_stop_preview/0, which is a no-op while nothing previews.

  • iOS: the Objective-C NIF queues the teardown on the plugin's serial camera queue (dropping a session that does not exist) and answers :ok. The answer proves mob_camera_nif.m is linked and its NIF table registered; no AVCaptureDevice is touched, so the simulator, which has no camera, passes the same way a phone does.
  • Android: the zig NIF calls the static MobCameraBridge.camera_stop_preview through JNI, which clears the requested preview facing, and answers :ok. That proves the zig NIF is linked and the Kotlin bridge registered (nativeRegister cached the class and method IDs). An emulator without a camera passes: CameraX is not involved. {:error, :bridge_not_registered} means the host's plugin bootstrap never called MobCameraBridge.register() or a method-ID lookup failed; :error means the NIF could not attach to the JVM. Both fail.

There is no {:skip, :needs_hardware} branch: the plugin's NIF exposes no read-only "is there a camera" query, and the only call that would find out (camera_snap/1, which reports :no_camera) opens a capture session, which a self-test must not do. Capturing a frame is the feature, not the proof.

The host stub's nif_not_loaded is a failure. Run it while the host is not previewing: camera_stop_preview/0 ends a running preview on both platforms, and on iOS also a frame stream (it drops the shared session).
