AndroidJUnit4 Instrumentation Tests fail to run

[kingargyle]

Trying to use the gist https://gist.github.com/JakeWharton/1c2f2cadab2ddd97f9fb to get Instrumentation Tests to run without needing to extend the InstrumentationTestCase or their sub classes.

If I just create a test case like:

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class LoginTest {

 @Rule
 ActivityRule activityRule = new ActivityRule(LoginActivity.class);

LoginActivity loginActivity;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    loginActivity = (LoginActivity) activityRule.get();
}

@Test
public void checkPreconditions() {
    assertThat(loginActivity).isNotNull();
    assertThat(getInstrumentation()).isNotNull();
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {

}

}

The test never runs, and the integration-test never tries to kick off the test on the emulator. I can get a little farther with the following:

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class LoginTest extends InstrumentationTestCase {

@Rule
ActivityRule activityRule = new ActivityRule(LoginActivity.class);

LoginActivity loginActivity;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();
    loginActivity = (LoginActivity) activityRule.get();
}

@Test
public void checkPreconditions() {
    assertThat(loginActivity).isNotNull();
    assertThat(getInstrumentation()).isNotNull();
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    super.tearDown();
}

}

However, in this case it launches, deployes the instrumentation package, and then returns the following:

 emulator-5554_Nexus_7_unknown_AndroidSDKbuiltforx86_64 :   Running tests for specified test classes/methods: [com.altair.smartfusion.android.tests.LoginTest]
 [INFO] emulator-5554_Nexus_7_unknown_AndroidSDKbuiltforx86_64 :   Running instrumentation tests in com.altair.smartfusion.android.tests

So it acts like it never runs the tests at all. If I switch to a regular JUnit 3 test case, it works, but I'd rather use the goodness that the new AndroidJunit4 runner provides as documented here:

https://code.google.com/p/android-test-kit/wiki/AndroidJUnitRunnerUserGuide

Even if I specify the class to run, it won't do it.

My AndroidManfest.xml looks like the following:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.example.test"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="0.0.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="16"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<application>
    <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
</application>

<instrumentation
        android:name="android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        android:label="Example Test"
        android:targetPackage="com.example" />

</manifest>

try adding a

<configuration>
<testSkip>false</testSkip>
</configuration>

in your android maven plugin pom.xml

The tests being skipped isn't the issue, it just doesn't seem to be recognized on the emulator or device that they are instrumentation tests. I'm seeing similar issues when trying to run from an IDE so I need to do some more research on it when I get time.

[athkalia]

According to testSkip javadoc:

Enables or disables integration test related goals. If <code>true</code> they will be skipped; if
<code>false</code>, they will be run. If <code>auto</code>, they will run if any of the classes inherit from any class in <code>junit.framework.</code> or <code>android.test.</code>.

I am guessing the default value is auto ?

Edit: Nevermind. If you figure this one out, can you please post the answer here

Will this fix your issue if it is implemented? #623

[kingargyle]

Yes, I believe if #623 is implemented it should fix this issue.

[secondsun]

@kingargyle #623 is implemented and shipped. Did it fix your issue/allow your issue to be fixed?

I'm using it in my project and it works well.

[kingargyle]

Haven't tried it, probably won't get to check this out for a while, so I'm going to go ahead and close this issues since #623 is completed.
