No tests found for given includes Error, when running Parameterized Unit test in Android Studio

Question

I tried run Parameterized Unit Test as below in Android Studio.

import android.test.suitebuilder.annotation.SmallTest;  

import junit.framework.TestCase;    

i         


        

Answer 1

In my case I was getting this message due to a runtime error with Junit which wasn't at all visible from the output of the gradle test task execution. I've run into this for a couple reasons:

1. Including the org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher dependency with a version that didn't match the junit version I was using
2. Having an entry in META-INF/services for a Junit test listener which I had commented out

You can try re-running with --debug and search for FAILED or org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.testing.TestSuiteExecutionException. In my second case, the exception was:
