Execute adb shell logcat timeout

[felipetortella]

I'm trying to run 'execute adb shell' command with logcat but sometimes I'm getting:

WebDriverException: Message: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Cannot execute the 'logcat -d -e ^.*ENTM.*$' shell command. Original error: Command 'C:\\Users\\xxxxxx\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\platform-tools\\adb.exe -P 5037 -s R3CM404B3NP shell 'logcat -d -e ^.*ABCD.*$' timed out after 20000ms. StdOut: --------- beginning of main

${logcat}= execute adb shell logcat -d -e ^.ABCD.$
Should Contain ${logcat} ABCD

This happens because the logcat is to big. If I do 'logcat -c' to clean it, it works fine. But for my test I should not do that.
There is any way to increase this 20000ms timeout from ADB? I saw that for application there is newCommandTimeout, but I could not make it work in this case.

What I'm using:

System
robotframework-appiumlibrary 1.6.2
robotframework 4.1

appium --relaxed-security --shell
appium --version
1.21.0

Hi @serhatbolsu
I was able to make a workaround building the lib in local env with this new keyword

Please, let me know if it's ok if I submit it as PR
I have based on appium documentation
http://appium.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/android-shell/#supported-arguments

I'm just not sure if we can change existing method or create a new one. Because of *args in implemented method, I could not make it work with method overloading :(

Thanks @felipetortella I think this deserve a new keyword to satisfy backward capability. please share the pr
