Hey there
Pytest performance is approximately ~5x faster on my laptop using genericx86 as apposed to running on via livepush and I no longer need to have a balena device in hand which is great for on the go development.
Can you please elaborate on how you are developing with a genericx64 device locally?
Perhaps you can have 2 fleets with different device types and you would use the genericx86-64-ext fleet for developing.
You can add a VM or even run a container on your laptop and that would act as a genericx86-64-ext device. You can even livepush to it.
Here are some links you might find helpful:
- No hardware? Use VirtualBox to simulate a device for balenaCloud!
- GitHub - balena-os/balenaos-in-container: Run balenaOS as a docker container
Thanks
