Manifest and setup issues getting Robolectric working with Android Studio 1.1.0

Question

I am trying to get Robolectric tests up and working in our current project, and not having a lot of luck. My preference would be to get these to run within Android Studio 1

Answer 1

I have faced same errors. We use several flavors and buildtypes So, there are steps to make it working:

1) Android studio tests run configuration

You have to set working directory to $MODULE_DIR$ in Windows too. robolectric.org/getting-started/ should say that.

2) Unit test should be annotated like this:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) 
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21, manifest = "src/main/AndroidManifest.xml", packageName = "com.example.yourproject") 
public class SomeFragmentTest {

Here we have plain link to manifest file and packageName
