List of Available States:

StateDescription
AVAILABLEDevice is available and ready to be allocated
IN_USEDevice is currently in use
CLEANINGDevice is being cleaned (only available for private devices)
MAINTENANCEDevice is in maintenance (only available for private devices)

note

This API can be used to stop actively running Appium, Espresso and XCUITest jobs.

Parameters

job_id

| PATH | REQUIRED | STRING |

The unique identifier of a job running on a real device in the data center. You can look up job IDs using the Get Real Device Jobs endpoint.

Update a Job

PUT /v1/rdc/jobs/{job_id}

Edit job attributes based on parameters passed in the request, including setting the status and name of the job. Any parameter for which a new value is provided in the request will replace the existing value. For example, if you provide a set of tags, they will not be added to the current tags; they will replace them, so make sure you pass the entire set you wish to assign.

Parameters

job_id

| PATH | REQUIRED | STRING |

The Sauce Labs identifier of the job to be updated. You can look up job IDs using the Get Jobs endpoint.

name

| BODY | OPTIONAL | STRING |

A new name for the job.

build

| BODY | OPTIONAL | STRING |

Assign the job to a build. You can specify an existing build name or create a new one.

passed

| BODY | OPTIONAL | BOOLEAN |

Asserts whether the job passed (true) or not (false).

tags

| BODY | OPTIONAL | ARRAY |

The set of distinguishing tags to apply to the job.
