ESPRESSO UPDATE

This single line of code grants every permission listed as parameter in the grant method with immediate effect. In other words, the app will be treated like if the permissions were already granted - no more dialogs

@Rule @JvmField
val grantPermissionRule: GrantPermissionRule = GrantPermissionRule.grant(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)

and gradle

dependencies {
  ...
  testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12"
  androidTestImplementation "com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.0"
  androidTestImplementation "com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.0"
  ...
}
