According to the Google project site, you should be able to run the following command to generate the API docs for Monkeyrunner:
monkeyrunner <format> help.py <outfile>
Unfortunately, the help.py file does not appear to exist. So, I've created a help.py file that will give you all the capabilities of the old help.py, if it ever existed. Copy and paste the following into a new file called help.py on your computer (or download the file from here):
help.py file to create on your computer
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice
from optparse import OptionParser
def help_callback (option, opt, value, parser):
parser.print_help ();
parser = OptionParser (add_help_option=False)
parser.add_option ("-o", "-f", "--outfile", dest="outfile", default="help.html",
help="file to output monkeyrunner help to",
metavar="OUTFILE")
parser.add_option ("-t", "--type", dest="type", default="html",
help="type of output to generate (html or text)",
metavar="TYPE")
parser.add_option ("-h", "--help", dest="help", default=None,
action="callback", callback=help_callback,
help="show usage information for this script")
(options, args) = parser.parse_args ()
if options.help is None:
text = MonkeyRunner.help(options.type)
f = open(options.outfile, 'w')
f.write(text)
f.close()
print "\nMonkeyrunner help written to " + options.outfile + " (type:" \
+ options.type + ")\n"
The file comes with its own help and usage information, which you can access by providing a -h or --h option like so:
monkeyrunner help.py -h
By default, the help.py sets the output file to help.html and sets the type of output to html. Feel free to use this to generate the Monkeyrunner built-in help for reference on your system.
