Room cannot find implementation

Question

I have a problem with testing a Room database: when I run the test, I get this exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: cannot find implementation for databa         


        

Answer 1

kapt is for Kotlin.

First, add:

annotationProcessor "android.arch.persistence.room:compiler:1.0.0"

to your dependencies closure.

Then, upgrade android.arch.persistence.room:rxjava2 and android.arch.persistence.room:testing to 1.0.0 instead of 1.0.0-rc1.
