A collection of samples demonstrating different frameworks and techniques for automated testing.
BasicSample - Basic Espresso sample
CustomMatcherSample - Shows how to extend Espresso to match the hint property of an EditText
DataAdapterSample - Showcases the onData()
entry point for Espresso, for lists and AdapterViews
IdlingResourceSample - Synchronization with background jobs
IntentsBasicSample - Basic usage of intended()
and intending()
IntentsAdvancedSample - Simulates a user fetching a bitmap using the camera
MultiWindowSample - Shows how to point Espresso to different windows
RecyclerViewSample - RecyclerView actions for Espresso
WebBasicSample - Use Espresso-web to interact with WebViews
BasicSampleBundled - Basic sample for Eclipse and other IDEs
MultiProcessSample - Showcases how to use multiprocess Espresso.
BasicSample - Basic UI Automator sample
AndroidJunitRunnerSample - Showcases test annotations, parameterized tests and testsuite creation
**All previous samples use ActivityTestRule or IntentsTestRule but there's one specific to ServiceTestRule:
BasicSample - Simple usage of ActivityTestRule
BasicSample-kotlinApp - Simple usage of ActivityTestRule
with Kotlin
BasicSample-kotlinAppDetektGradle4.9 - Simple usage of ActivityTestRule
with Kotlin, Detekt and Gradle 4.9
IntentsBasicSample - Simple usage of IntentsTestRule
ServiceTestRuleSample - Simple usage of ServiceTestRule
- Android SDK v23
- Android Build Tools v23
- Android Support Repository rev17
These samples use the Gradle build system. To build a project, enter the project directory and use the ./gradlew assemble
command or use "Import Project" in Android Studio.
- Use
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest
to run the tests on a connected emulator or device. - Use
./gradlew test
to run the unit test on your local host.
There is a top-level build.gradle
file if you want to build and test all samples from the root directory. This is mostly helpful to build on a CI (Continuous Integration) server.
Many of these samples use the ATSL. Visit the Android Testing Support Library site for more information.
Some of these samples can be built with Bazel on Linux. These samples contain a BUILD.bazel
file, which is similar to a build.gradle
file. The external dependencies are defined in the top level WORKSPACE
file.
This is experimental while testing features are being developed in Bazel. To run the tests, please use a development build of Bazel built from master:
$ git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel
$ cd bazel
$ bazel build //src:bazel # requires local installation of Bazel, please see https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html`
$ cp bazel-bin/src/bazel /tmp/bazel
Then, to run the tests:
$ git clone https://github.com/google/android-testing
$ cd android-testing
# Edit the path to your local SDK at the top of the WORKSPACE file
$ $EDITOR WORKSPACE
# Test everything in a headless mode
$ /tmp/bazel test //... --spawn_strategy=local
# Test a single test, e.g. ui/espresso/BasicSample/BUILD.bazel
$ /tmp/bazel test //ui/espresso/BasicSample:BasicSampleInstrumentationTest --spawn_strategy=local
# Test everything with GUI enabled
$ /tmp/bazel test //... --action_env=DISPLAY=$DISPLAY
# Test with a local device or emulator. Ensure that `adb devices` lists the device.
$ /tmp/bazel test //... --test_output=streamed --test_arg=--device_broker_type=LOCAL_ADB_SERVER
# If multiple devices are connected, add --device_serial_number=$identifier where $identifier is the name of the device in `adb devices`
$ /tmp/bazel test //... --test_output=streamed --test_arg=--device_broker_type=LOCAL_ADB_SERVER --test_arg=--device_serial_number=$identifier
For more information, check out the tutorial for Building an Android App with Bazel, and the list of Android Rules in the Bazel Build Encyclopedia.
Known issues:
- Headless mode is unstable in sandboxed mode due to Xvfb issues, so the flag
--spawn_strategy=local
is required. - Building of APKs is supported on Linux, Mac and Windows, but testing is only supported on Linux.
android_instrumentation_test.target_device
attribute still needs to be specified even ifLOCAL_ADB_SERVER
is used.- If using a local device or emulator, the APKs are not uninstalled automatically after the test. Use this command to
remove the packages:
adb shell pm list packages com.example.android.testing | cut -d ':' -f 2 | tr -d '\r' | xargs -L1 -t adb uninstall
Please file Bazel related issues against the Bazel repository instead of this repository.
