Robolectric @Config path value for manifest

Question

I am trying to run robolectric unit test but I am getting error as AndroidManifest.xml not found on path. Can anyone give me an example path of @Config manifest value. Is it relative path or absolute one?

Thanks in advance

If you are using maven to run your tests you can set as follows:

@Config(manifest = "../app/AndroidManifest.xml")
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class SomeTestCase { ... }

Please note that if you are using Android Studio/Intellij and want to run your tests within the IDE you will have to make a change in the Run configuration.

In Run->Edit configuration->Defaults->JUnit->Working directory set the value $MODULE_DIR$ and Android Studio will set the relative path in all junits just like Maven.

This worked for me however if the annotation fails, you can also create a file called "org.robolectric.Config.properties" and place it on your classpath.
The file should contain something like the following: "manifest: ./app/AndroidManifest.xml"
