Error:
WebExtError: Unable to retrieve current user on 55555555

What is the expected or desired behavior?
The function:
async getCurrentUser(deviceId) {
log.debug(`Retrieving current user on ${deviceId}`);
const currentUser = await this.runShellCommand(deviceId, ['am', 'get-current-user']);
const userId = parseInt(currentUser.trim());
if (isNaN(userId)) {
throw new WebExtError(`Unable to retrieve current user on ${deviceId}`);
}
return userId;
}
in /usr/lib/node_modules/web-ext/lib/util/adb.js is not working for Android 6.0.1.
I have tested:
async getCurrentUser(deviceId) {
return 0;
}
and it works. Obviously not a good solution.
Solution:
Add support for Android 6.0.1. If support for Android 6.0.1 is not planned to be added, this should be indicated in the documentation.
