sfdk-emulator-list

The `sfdk-emulator-list` command is a utility provided by the Salesforce Development Kit (SFDK) that displays a list of available emulators configured on your system. This command helps developers quickly identify the emulators they have set up for testing and debugging Salesforce mobile applications or experiences within a simulated environment.

The output typically includes the emulator's name, its status (e.g., running, stopped, available), and potentially other relevant information like the Android API level or the emulator's system image. Using this command ensures developers can easily manage and select the correct emulator for their testing needs. It eliminates the need to manually track emulator configurations or resort to other tools for identifying available emulators. The ability to check the emulator status is vital for ensuring tests execute as expected. It often acts as a preliminary check before launching tests or debugging sessions. Proper usage facilitates efficient development and testing workflows within the SFDK ecosystem.

The command's output and functionality may vary depending on the version of the SFDK and the installed emulator environments (e.g., Android Emulator). Ensure that the SFDK is properly installed and configured to interact with the emulators.

The command might return an error if the SFDK cannot communicate with the underlying emulator infrastructure (e.g., due to missing dependencies, incorrect environment setup). Consult the SFDK documentation for troubleshooting common errors.
