Can't run monkeyrunner script - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad level

Question

I tried this but it shows me the middle finger:

~/Software/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.6_r1/tools$ sudo ./monkeyrunner -v help.py Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad level "help.py" at java.util.logging.Level.parse(Level.java:336) at com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerOptions.processOptions(MonkeyRunnerOptions.java:130) at com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerStarter.main(MonkeyRunnerStarter.java:192)

It is on a freshly installed java, jdk, jre, Eclipse, AndroidSDK, ADT

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Why sudo ? You shouldn't use it. The other problem is that you are missing the log level for -v:

Usage: monkeyrunner [options] SCRIPT_FILE

    -s      MonkeyServer IP Address.
    -p      MonkeyServer TCP Port.
    -v      MonkeyServer Logging level (ALL, FINEST, FINER, FINE, CONFIG, INFO, WARNING, SEVERE, OFF)

Also, be sure you have help.py in your current working directory or specify its path.
