RN57.3 - ReferenceError: device is not defined

[calcazar]

Description

We updated our RN version to 57.3 and we are no longer able to run detox tests for iOS. Every time we run tests we get the following errors:

ReferenceError: device is not defined
ReferenceError: element is not defined

detox[44535] ERROR: [index.js/DETOX_INIT_ERROR]
Error: Can't send a message on a closed websocket, init the by calling 'open()'. Message: {"type":"isReady","params":{},"messageId":-1000}

Aside from these errors, running detox test results in detox opening various simulators at once

Detox, Node, Device, Xcode and macOS Versions

• Detox: 9.0.4
• React Native: 0.57.3
• Node: 9.8.0
• Device: Any Iphone
• Xcode: 10
• macOS: High Sierra

I was able to fix this. At some point in a long chain of commitments we butchered the init.js to look like:

require('babel-polyfill');
const detox = require("detox");
const config = require("../package.json").detox;

beforeAll(async () => {
    await detox.init(config);
});

afterAll(async () => {
    await detox.cleanup();
});

This of course causes a ton of issues since it's supposed to be like so:

const detox = require('detox');
const config = require('../package.json').detox;
const adapter = require('detox/runners/jest/adapter');

// Set the default timeout
jest.setTimeout(120000);
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(adapter);

beforeAll(async () => {
  await detox.init(config);
});

beforeEach(async function() {
  await adapter.beforeEach();
});

afterAll(async () => {
  await adapter.afterAll();
  await detox.cleanup();
});
