Robolectric Eclipse setup; equalTo undefined

[Ferran Garriga Ollé]

Hi to all,

I'm new using Robolectric and JUnit in general and I'm trying to test the basic example, but it seams that the method equalTo is undefined and it cannot be founded.

My Libraries:

- android.jar

- maps.jar

- robolectric.1.0-RC1-jar-with-dependencies.jar

- JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.6]

- JUnit 4

The source code of the test is:

package com.example;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import com.xtremelabs.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class UiMainTest {
@Test
public void shouldHaveHappySmiles() throws Exception {
String hello = new UiMain().getResources().getString(R.string.hello);
assertThat(hello, equalTo("Hello World, MyActivity!"));
}
}

The error that I get is

The method equalTo(String) is undefined for the type UiMainTest

Any idea?

Thanks.

Yes,

add "import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;"

[Ferran Garriga Ollé]

is already in the source code that I've pasted.

Sorry, wrong import.

The right is:
import org.hamcrest.core.IsEqual.equalTo;
or
import org.hamcrest.core.IsEqual.*;

[c....@gmx.net]

Sorry wrong import.
import static org.hamcrest.core.IsEqual.equalTo;
or
import static org.hamcrest.core.IsEqual.*;

equalto comes from Hamcrest which is a junit dependency contained within the junit jar. You probably just need to import the static method for it from Hamcrest.

Cool, it's working now, although I haven't seen that import in any example code...

If you are using m2e-android (Maven Android integration for Eclipse), it can configure your Robolectric tests out of the box, and
you can run them in the IDE.
