RobolectricTestRunner class not found after SDK and Gradle upgrade












1















I upgraded recent legacy android application as follows,



CompileSDK 23 to 27
BuildTools 23.0.2 to 27.0.3
SupportLibVersion 23.0.2 to 27.1.1



below is my previous and current sourceset and test options code



sourceSets {

main {
assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets', 'src/main/assets/']
java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java', 'src/main/java']
}
robolectric {
java.srcDir file('src/test/java/')
resources.srcDir file('src/test/resources')
}
}


Current version with "robolectric" changed to "androidTest" and "testOptions" task added, otherwise it wont compile.



sourceSets {

main {
assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets', 'src/main/assets/']
java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java', 'src/main/java']
}
androidTest {
setRoot 'src/test/'
java.srcDir file('src/test/java/')
resources.srcDir file('src/test/resources')
}
}

testOptions {
unitTests {
includeAndroidResources = true
}
}


and this is how I integrated Robolectric



testImplementation 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.3.2'


After making above changes, gradle sync succeeds, but Robolectric related classes are not recognized and could not be found.



I tried setting aapt2enabled as 'false', in this case gradle sync itself fails saying aapt2 is deprecated and will be removed in future. Please suggest me any solution.

  • This is a legacy application.Hence, kept the same version, however, tried version 3.8 too still same issue.Tried invalidating and restarting android studio as well.

Your test class must not be in the "androidTest" directory but in the "Local unit test" directory (https://developer.android.com/studio/test/), i.e. "test" instead of "androidTest".



Because the "androidTest" directory is only for instrumented tests that run on a hardware device or emulator. And the advantage of Robolectric is that it does not need to run on a device or emulator. So you can either change "androidTest" to "test" in your gradle file or just remove the whole "androidTest {}" definition from your gradle file because src/test is the default path for the "Local unit test" directory.



I could fix the problem just by moving my test class from src/androidTest to src/test. But you will have to remove the "androidTest {}" definition from your gradle file, too.
