Updated Documentation

[Chani Shulman]

I am looking for updated documentation, are there any plans to provide them?

Thanks

Hi Chani,

We often update important documentation to http://robolectric.org/. You can first check it. And there are many related tests for Robolectric's new features, and you can check https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric source code if needed.

BR,

utzcoz.

RobolectricTestRunner isnt resolving is there anything missing in the documentation?

You probably should add the following line to the deps:

testImplementation 'org.robolectric:robolectric:4.8.2'

and add your test classes to 'test', and not to 'androidTest` module.

I did exactly this.

[Chani Shulman]

Why is there no up to date clear documentation? It would be extremely helpful.

[elfue...@gmail.com]

I believe, because no one wants to pay for documentation. do you?

I can offer to do it' if it was clear to me :)

I have written an article to introduce Robolectric : https://utzcoz.github.io/2022/02/27/Android-Testing-with-Robolectric.html, and it has a step to integrate Robolectric to app, you can check it out.

If you have any questions about integrating Robolectric, you can file a new issue at https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric with a minimal reproduction app. We can check what you missed.

Also if you think documentation is not great, and you need more information, you can try to file a new issue at https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric.github.io. We can discuss together to improve it.

BR.

Hi, I also have some doubts that I didn't manage to find answers on the documentation, maybe it is a good chance to bring it up.

I write tests for an educational platform and the tests that I write should ideally accept any valid answer from users and time related projects have been a real pain.

One of the doubts is about shadowing java.util classes, to be more specific java.util.Timer. From what I understand java.lang is completely out of reach because it loads before robolectric itself, does java.util suffer from the same problem?

A second doubt is about the paused mode on the looper. From what I could experiment there are some instructions that can advance the clock by one millisecond even if no calls to .idle() or .idleFor() are made, is that right? I would like to know more in depth knowledge about how the paused looper mode works and its limitations.  The workaround that I had to do in one of the projects I write tests for was measuring time in tests just to capture these possible involuntary advances of the clock so that I can account for that when doing assertions.

A third doubt is about the consequences of instrumenting the code to be tested. Here the idea behind is to give support for users implementation that use calls to System.currentTimeMillis. I know that System.currentTimeMillis is not shadowed directly because it is from the java.lang package, but that instrumented code that calls that is redirected to a different method, but I also been advised that instrumenting the code to be tested could be problematic without any hints on why that could be problematic.
