Tests fail when using different applicationId im build.gradle file with RobolectricGradleTestRunner

[Alexander Stark]

Hi,


in our project we're using a different applicationId than package name.
In build.gradle file we have defined:

...

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 13
    targetSdkVersion 21
    applicationId = "com.xxx.xxxsuffix"
}
...

The package name is only "com.xxx.xxx"
For our tests we're using RobolectricGradleTestRunner:

@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class)
@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)

When we run the test we get the following error:

I found a workaround.
When I add the package name to my config annotation it works:

@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, packageName = "com.citrix.g2acustomer")

I have to add this for each test suite.

Is this a known Issue?
Is there a better solution?

Thanks
Alex

Robolectric by default picks up the package name based on your applicationId. It's specified in Config annotation. 

So if the package hierarchy in your source code is not the same as your applicationId, you get this error.

Your workaround is correct. This is not an issue.

But instead of adding this in every test suite, you can create a base class and annotate it with Config. Then extend each test case with that class.

If you don't want to do that, then you can define a robolectric.properties and make sure its found on the classpath. You can specify all the config options in that properties file.

Read here: http://robolectric.org/configuring/

[Alexander Stark]

Thanks for response.
I already tried to use robolectric.properties but it is ignored. I tried to put the file in a subfolder of my test sources. I tried res and resources as subfolder. Bot neither res nor resources works.
Where do I have to put the properties file that it can be found on the classpath?
Thanks

[Erich Douglass]

It goes in src/test/resources

Ok seems to work. But now I get an error that sdk level 1 is not supported. Means I have to set this manually?
After i tried to set to e.g. 18  next error occurs: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: build/intermediates/manifests/full/AndroidManifest.xml not found or not a file; it should point to your project's AndroidManifest.xml

In the documentation I found how to set:
manifest=some/build/path/AndroidManifest.xml

But i have different build types. How can I use a variable for the active running build type?

[Kanishk Tripathi]

If you are using RobolectricGradleTestRunner, then it will automatically pick the manifest based on your build flavor(if there are different manifests for different flavors).

[Alexander Stark]

This doesn't work for me. I have to set correct manifest property. But how can I set a dynamic path?
I don't have different flavors. I only have different build types.

Next issue I'm facing is that my tests only run with build type "debug" but not e.g. with release.
Currently I'm still using my CustomBuildConfig class with these static fields:

public final class CustomBuildConfig {
    public static final boolean DEBUG = BuildConfig.DEBUG;
    public static final String APPLICATION_ID = "com.xxx.xxx";
    public static final String BUILD_TYPE = BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE;
    public static final String FLAVOR = BuildConfig.FLAVOR;
    public static final int VERSION_CODE = BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE;
    public static final String VERSION_NAME = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;
}

Application Id is without prefix as my package name is.
When I execute the tests with ./gradlew testDebug everthing works fine. But when I execute e.g ./gradlew testRelease I get again NotFoundException.

Would be great tp get help with both issues.

[Alexander Stark]

I debugged in RobolectricGradleTestRunner.
When I use robolectric.properties the build type of config parameter is not set. And some other properties as well.
In my robolectric.properties I have only set

packageName = "com.xxx.xxx"

I expected that all other properties will be taken from the generated BuildConfig.java

[Alexander Stark]

Is my expectation wrong?
