Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.'

Question

I wanted to run the following test:

package com.xxx.yyy;

import android.content.Context;
import androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry;
import androidx.test.runn         


        

Answer 1

So I had the same symptoms but after making all these changes I found that the following config in my project build.gradle file that was an issue

buildTypes{
     debug {
        debuggable true
        minifyEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }

seems that minifyEnable and shrinkResources are behaving differently after the upgrade to androidx, could have happened earlier but I just realized it now. Commenting out the lines fixed my No Tests Found Issues.

buildTypes{
     debug {
        debuggable true
        //minifyEnabled true
        //shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
