ADB commands fail when device serial contains parentheses (mDNS/Wi-Fi)

[yuki2006]

Description

When an Android device is connected via Wi-Fi/mDNS, the ADB device serial can contain parentheses, e.g.:

adb-5721009297-Rq3U4s (2)._adb-tls-connect._tcp

This causes all Detox tests to fail with:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Root Cause

In src/devices/common/drivers/android/exec/ADB.js line 391, the device serial is interpolated without quoting:

const serial = `${deviceId ? `-s ${deviceId}` : ''}`;
const cmd = `"${this.adbBin}" ${serial} ${params}`;

The shell interprets ( as a subshell start, causing a parse error.

Note: adbCmdSpawned (line 400) is not affected because it passes arguments as an array to spawn, bypassing shell interpretation.

Fix

Quote the device serial:

const serial = `${deviceId ? `-s "${deviceId}"` : ''}`;

Environment

• Detox: 20.47.0
• Device: Physical Android connected via Wi-Fi (mDNS)
• ADB serial: adb-5721009297-Rq3U4s (2)._adb-tls-connect._tcp
• Host: macOS
