Description

Synchronizing Bluetooth-paired phone contacts to Evolution.

Resources

  • A Bluetooth USB adapter.
  • A Bluetooth-enabled phone.

Pre Conditions

  1. Ensure Rootfs is remounted as read/write.
    2. $ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
  2. Install dependencies
    3. $ sudo apt install syncevolution syncevolution-dbus folks-tools libfolks-eds25 apertis-tests python 3.4 python3-gi python3-dbus telepathy-mission-control-5
  3. Restart the system to restore the filesystem state to read-only before running the test.
    4. $ sudo reboot
  4. Start simple agent:
    5. $ /usr/lib/chaiwala-tests/bluez/simple-agent -y
  5. Pair both devices initiating from the phone side
  6. Pay attention to the simple-agent window as it requires input during the pairing process.

Execution Steps

  1. Synchronize contacts from a second terminal:
    2. $ /usr/lib/chaiwala-tests/contacts/sync-addressbook.sh <Bluetooth address>
  2. The Bluetooth address is the MAC address of the device as seen in the pairing window (e.g. 12:34:56:78:9A:BC)

Expected

syncevolution should display the number of contacts synchronized from the phone in this last run.

folks-inspect should show the personas with their details grabbed from your phone.
