I use Jenkins to build one of my projects. The Android Emulator Plugin automatically starts an emulator with the following configuration:
Configuration of the Emulator Plugin:
.
Every time the job is running I get the following output:
Erasing existing emulator data... $

Full log below.
It seems that the plugin is creating a new emulator every time and is not using snapshots. This takes something between 2 and 4 minutes depending on the emulator configuration.
The plugin creates .avd and .ini files in the .android/avd directory inside the job folder. The avds are not deleted after the run process.
If I disable the use snapshots config the emulator needs less then a minute to start.
Is this an issue with the emulator plugin or are snapshots not possible because of my configuration?
I hope that using snapshots will speed up my building process a lot.
