BasicUnitAndroidTest not working about testing-samples HOT 10 CLOSED

What is the error you see in Android Studio?

from testing-samples.

I just used gradle in terminal, the build seems to be success, but if you check the unit test results: there is nothing, just adding a error to some unit tests files, build still success because files where never compiled.

I tried now with AndroidStudio,
and got this error:

Test filtering is not supported for given version of JUnit. Please upgrade JUnit version to at least 4.6.

from testing-samples.

What task are you using to run the tests? This are device/emulator tests, not local-JVM tests. You can find instructions in the README.md file.

from testing-samples.

I am using Android Studio. I right-click on the test file and run it.

from testing-samples.

ok, so for unittesting/BasicUnitAndroidTest
I run on console:
gradle clean test-> build success but unit tests not executed, (could be seen by either making a compile error into the class: LogHistoryAndroidUnitTest or when opening the unit test reports
with ./gradlew clean test the same
gradle --version (installed with brew)

now I go to Android Studio,
import new Project, use gradle wrapper.
right click on the LogHistoryAndroidUnitTest and execute Unit test:
I first get this error: Gradle error - Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'
now I change settings in AndroidStudio to use my local gradle version,
try to run the test again, this time with this error: **!!! JUnit version 3.8 or later expected:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub!**

when I try to execute gradle test from Android Studio I get this error: Execution failed for task ':app:testDebug'.
Test filtering is not supported for given version of JUnit. Please upgrade JUnit version to at least 4.6.

so I never get the unit test running, don't know what I do wrong :/

back to Console
when I rename app/src/androidTest/ to app/src/test/
and run gradle testagain i get a lot of compile errors:
unittesting/basicunitandroidtest/LogHistoryAndroidUnitTest.java:20: error: package android.support.test.runner does not exist import android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnit4;

this this time the class is found but not the dependencies...

if I change in app.gradle the dependencies from androidTestCompile to testCompile
and run gradle test again
i will end up with this error

java.lang.Exception: Custom runner class AndroidJUnit4 should have a public constructor with signature AndroidJUnit4(Class testClass)

if you have any idea what i do wrong please tell me, because i have the same behavior with my own project...
Also i don't get why AndroidStudio seems to work different, i kind of executing the Unit Test directly , or with gradle, and it also differs from the console.
I would expect that using gradle from console or AndroidStudio should be no difference ?

from testing-samples.

These tests are not run locally but in device/emulator, so they live in androidTest and should be executed using the connectedCheck task or from Android Studio using the instructions found in the README in the root of the project.

from testing-samples.

ahhhhh, ok got it, now all this test and androitTest makes sense ....
its working now as it should, also unit tests in my project are working :)

sorrryyy guys for noise :(

from testing-samples.

Hi fmt,

Do you manage to get it running?
How you fix the error?

java.lang.Exception: Custom runner class AndroidJUnit4 should have a public constructor with signature AndroidJUnit4(Class testClass)

Thanks a lot

from testing-samples.

the error was on my side.
for android test you need an emulator than its running as is it should

from testing-samples.

Hi I intend to use AndroidJUnit4. If I take out RunWith Android JUnit4 then no issue.. I mean the local unit test without device
