uiautomator:BasicSample test fail about testing-samples HOT 4 CLOSED

Sounds like UiAutomator is not able to connect to UiAutomation. I can't reproduce it locally. I will investigate a bit more. Does rebooting the device help to resolve the issue?

from testing-samples.

After I rebooted my Nexus 5 and ran the test again, strange thing happened.

com.example.android.testing.espresso.BasicSample.ChangeTextBehaviorTest > changeText_newActivity[Nexus 5 - 5.1] FAILED 
        android.support.test.espresso.base.DefaultFailureHandler$AssertionFailedWithCauseError: 'with text: is "Espresso"' doesn't match the selected view.
        Expected: with text: is "Espresso"

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

This test passed yesterday.

I figured out why the last test fail because the device' s default keyboard language is non-English at that time. I switched to English and the whole project also passed.

However, the keyboard is English yesterday and back to the first issue, I still don' t konw why after the rebooting all the tests passed.

In addition, can we choose the right language keyborad when we want to type something in the test?

Thx.

Well we could but i think it is an issue with your device or does this happen on any device from time to time. I'm closing this as i cannot reproduce it. Please open another issue if the problem persists.
