I am trying to run an AVD without window and boot for running an instrumented test in a pipeline workflow. I am using Docker [image][1] with Android SDK and use Linux Ubuntu.

The setup works and managed to create AVD however there is an error when starting it as it ask for hardware acceleration.

Commands

emulator -avd EMU -no-window -no-audio -no-boot-anim & ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --continue

Error
