huh? can't find parent for StyleData in Android Studio

[Mary-Anne Cosgrove]

I'm trying to run Robolectric tests with the Android Studio project structure. I have a separate module for my Robolectric tests as I am also running instrument tests which now live in the main project.

I've set up org.robolectric.Config.properties to point Robolectric to my AndroidManifest in the main project. That's working fine.

But when I try to create my Activity I get this:

WARNING: no system properties value for ro.build.date.utc

DEBUG: Loading resources for com.thoughtworks.androidbootcamp from ./../AndroidBootcamp/src/main/res...

java.lang.RuntimeException: huh? can't find parent for StyleData{name='AppTheme', parent='Theme_AppCompat_Light_DarkActionBar'}

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager$StyleResolver.getParent(ShadowAssetManager.java:351)

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager$StyleResolver.getAttrValue(ShadowAssetManager.java:336)

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.findAttributeValue(ShadowResources.java:293)

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.attrsToTypedArray(ShadowResources.java:196)

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.access$000(ShadowResources.java:55)

...

I'm using the 2.3-SNAPSHOT

Any suggestions?

Mary-Anne,

Are you using Gradle? Maven? Or neither?

Over here at Pivotal we are looking at seamless integration of Gradle and Studio for Robolectric happiness. I don't know about bundling instrumentation tests in there as well, though. I'll ask around today.

I'm using Gradle with Novoda's gradle-android-test-plugin. I've written up what I've done to get it working so far here

Currently I'm able to run the Robolectric tests within Android Studio, including debugging, UNTIL I try to create an Activity. Everything else seems to be working fine.

I've been wracking my brain on this for weeks now. I'd really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Like I said, we're dedicating some resources right now to gradle and studio support. If you could post this as a GitHub issue, it will be the best way of tracking this particular problem.

Thanks Mike. I've created issue #979.

Hey Mary, this sounds like something thats also happen to me. It was another style, but you use the actionbarsherlock library?

When yes, you should have a folder called unpacked-bundles in your build folder. There is the missing stuff ;)

So look that you have 2 files "project.properties" and "test-project.properties" next to your AndroidManifest.xml. And type into test-project.properties file the relative pathes to your folder inside unpacked-bundles. After that you should get multiple messages from "DEBUG: Loading resources ..."

Example thats works for me, AndroidManifest is located in src/main/

android.library.reference.1=../../build/unpacked-bundles/LibFolderName1
android.library.reference.2=../../build/unpacked-bundles/LibFolderName2

More informations: http://robolectric.org/apklibs/  (Working with ApkLibs)

Thanks Nico.

I've tried your suggestion but I keep getting the same error.

I've tried:
```android.library.reference.1=../AndroidBootcamp/build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar/res```
```android.library.reference.1=../AndroidBootcamp/build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar```
```android.library.reference.1=./AndroidBootcamp/build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar/res```

and
```android.library.reference.1=./AndroidBootcamp/build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar```

With the same result each time.

Any more suggestions?

Hey Mary, 

without knowing how is your project structure i'm not sure wether you tried the correct paths.

From your first post i know already someing like this:

project

- - AndroidBootcamp

- - - - build/build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar

- - RobolectricTests

Where is your AndroidManifest.xml located?

Where are your poject.properties and test-project.properties located?

When: 

AndroidBootcamp/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Then:

AndroidBootcamp/src/main/test-project.properties with android.library.reference.1=../../build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar

When:

AndroidBootcamp/AndroidManifest.xml

Then shoud it be (not tested):

AndroidBootcamp/test-project.properties with android.library.reference.1=build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar

When the setup is successful (will not imply your error must be gone) your will get not only:

WARNING: no system properties value for ro.build.date.utc

DEBUG: Loading resources for com.thoughtworks.androidbootcamp from ./../AndroidBootcamp/src/main/res...

instead there should be an additional message like:

DEBUG: Loading resources for android.support.v7.appcompat from ./../AndroidBootcamp/src/main/../../build/exploded-bundles/ComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71901.aar/res...

i hope this will fix your problem
