A few lines of the Setup method must be commented to get the test working:

protected void setUp() throws Exception
    {
        super.setUp();
        // final RenamingMockContext mockContext = new RenamingMockContext(
        // getContext());
        // setContext(mockContext);

        createApplication();
        mApplication = getApplication();
    }
