Cappuccino

A sweeter Espresso. At present, there are two main features of Cappuccino:

Never write your own IdlingResource again.
Never manually disable system animations again. By using the SystemAnimations class of Cappuccino, along with the new Cappuccino Animations Gradle plugin, you can automatically disable and re-enable system animations.

Current version

Cappuccino Android library: 0.9.1

Cappuccino Animations Gradle plugin: 0.9.0

Minimum supported Android Gradle Plugin version

3.3-rc03

Getting Started

In your build.gradle:

repositories {
    // Either repository will work
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    
    // ...other dependencies...
    
    debugCompile "com.autonomousapps:cappuccino:${latest_lib_version}"
    releaseCompile "com.autonomousapps:cappuccino-no-op:${latest_lib_version}"
}

You will also want to declare the following Espresso dependencies, if you haven't already:

dependencies {

    // ...other dependencies...

    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:24.2.1'
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5'
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2'
}

Check here for Espresso setup instructions, and to ensure you're using the latest version.

That's it! (mostly)

Automatically disable and re-enable system animations

If you want to automatically disable and re-enable system animations, there are (unfortunately, but necessarily) several steps to follow. In summary, they are:

Apply the Cappuccino Animations plugin.
Create or modify a debug/AndroidManifest.xml or ([flavor]Debug/AndroidManifest.xml for each flavor, if you have them), as below.
Add some code to your test classes, as below.

Apply the Cappuccino Animations plugin at the top of your `build.gradle`:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.com.autonomousapps:cappuccino-plugin:${latest_plugin_version}"
  }
}

apply plugin: "com.autonomousapps.cappuccino-animations"

Sample `debug/AndroidManifest.xml`

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Disable animations on debug builds so that the animations do not interfere with Espresso
         tests. Adding this permission to the manifest is not sufficient - you must also grant the
         permission over adb! -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_ANIMATION_SCALE" />

</manifest>

Sample test class

If you have all of your test classes inherit from this class, then you only need to do the following once.

import com.autonomousapps.cappuccino.animations.SystemAnimations;

public class BaseTestClass {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void disableAnimations() {
        SystemAnimations.disableAll(InstrumentationRegistry.getContext());
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void enableAnimations() {
        SystemAnimations.enableAll(InstrumentationRegistry.getContext());
    }
    
    // ...test code...
}

Sample usage

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private TextView mTextHello;

    // Declare your CappuccinoResourceWatcher
    private CappuccinoResourceWatcher mCappuccinoResourceWatcher;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            
        // Get a reference to a CappuccinoResourceWatcher. This also registers it with Cappuccino
        // It will return a no-op version for release builds.
        // We pass in 'this' as a convenience. Internally, Cappuccino converts 'this' into a String
        mCappuccinoResourceWatcher = Cappuccino.newIdlingResourceWatcher(this);

        mTextHello = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_hello);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        initViews();
    }

    private void initViews() {
        // This tells Cappuccino that the resoure associated with this Activity is busy, 
        // and instrumentation tests should wait...
        mCappuccinoResourceWatcher.busy();
        
        // This is our custom animation, that Espresso knows nothing about, but
        // Cappuccino does!
        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mTextHello.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    
                // ...and this tells Cappuccino that the Activity is now idle, and instrumentation tests
                // may now proceed
                mCappuccinoResourceWatcher.idle();
            }
        }, 500 /* delay in ms */);
    }
}

...and in a test...

public class MainActivityTest {

    // optional
    @BeforeClass
    public static void disableAnimations() {
        SystemAnimations.disableAll(InstrumentationRegistry.getContext());
    }

    // optional
    @AfterClass
    public static void enableAnimations() {
        SystemAnimations.enableAll(InstrumentationRegistry.getContext());
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        mActivityTestRule.launchActivity(new Intent());
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        Cappuccino.reset();
    }

    @Rule
    private ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> mActivityTestRule = new ActivityTestRule<>(MainActivity.class, true, false);

    /**
     * This test uses the common Espresso idiom for instantiating, registering, and unregistering
     * custom IdlingResources, but uses our CappuccinoIdlingResource, instead.
     */
    @Test
    public void testCappuccinoIdlingResource() throws Exception {
        CappuccinoIdlingResource idlingResource = new CappuccinoIdlingResource(mActivityTestRule.getActivity());
        Espresso.registerIdlingResources(idlingResource);
        
        onView(withId(R.id.text_hello)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));

        Espresso.unregisterIdlingResources(idlingResource);
    }

    /**
     * As a convenience, Cappuccino permits the following idiom, which keeps track of 
     * CappuccinoIdlingResources in an internal registry, keyed by the name of the object passed in.
     * In this case, this is our MainActivity, retrieved by calling {@code mActivityTestRule.getActivity()}.
     */
    @Test
    public void testCappuccinoIdlingResource2() throws Exception {
        Cappuccino.registerIdlingResource(mActivityTestRule.getActivity());
        
        onView(withId(R.id.text_hello)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));

        Cappuccino.unregisterIdlingResource(mActivityTestRule.getActivity());
    }
}
