Android Studio - with Junit 4.12 “!!! JUnit version 3.8 or later expected:”

Question

Tried out the suggestions on this post, but I still get the error:

!!! JUnit version 3.8 or later expected:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub!
    at junit.r         


        

Answer 1

The below fix is a work around and a repetitive task you need to perform on every new class that you create. I have used Gradle for my project on Android Studio.

Step 1: Go to Run-> Edit Configurations Option

Step 2: For each JUnit test configuration, change and add the below into the fields: a) JRE: Default is selected. Change it to the JRE version you have on your PC which you get as an option in the drop-down. As of today, its 1.8 b) Before launch field: Click on '+', select your module and add task as "clean compileTestJava". Move it to top in the list JUnit test configuration

Step 3: Apply Changes and now run your java class.
