Test

warning

Before going live, implementation should be tested in simulation mode on the ground, and in the air.

Recording​

Recording turbulence works only in the air, so SDK provides a simulation mode to test it on the ground.

Use it for DEV ENV only. It can be set by env: .dev(serverUrl: nil) in SkyPath.start(). By default when no env parameter is passed, the production server is used.

// Set SDK to use the simulated location that you provide instead of the real from the device
SkyPath.shared.enableSimulation(true)

// Enable SDK to send turbulence and events to the server. Otherwise, simulated events will not be sent. The default is disabled.
SkyPath.shared.enablePushSimulated(true)

// Stop simulation when not needed
SkyPath.shared.enableSimulation(false)

Provide your simulated location. The simplest way is to have an array of CLLocationCoordinate2D on the same air altitude and pass it by a timer with 1-second time intervals.

Please note that a correct course value in CLLocation passed to simulate is required for testing turbulence notifications (alerts) in a beam mode. Otherwise, the beam will head north up and not heading the simulated flight direction.

SkyPath.shared.simulatedLocation(location)

You can have some hidden developer options to enable/disable simulation mode for QA testing. Simulation mode can be enabled/disabled at any time.

Trigger a turbulence event by using a timer at some time intervals, or randomly during some time, or just by having a test button or your event trigger. Turbulence will not be tracked on the ground, so need an air-simulated location.

SkyPath.shared.simulateTurbulence(sev: .moderate)

If turbulence was recorded the SkyPathDelegate method will be called.

func detectedTurbulence(_ turbulence: TurbulenceItem) { }
