My simple test case does not run on Robotium

Question

I am trying to test my application with Robotium using an extremely simple test case but it fails. I have tried everything and nothing works. My main activity is a Google Maps Activity. I've tried other activities but they don't work as well. My package name is correct.

This I have tried:

Importing Robotium
Checking Robotium in Order and Export
Restart Eclipse and Clean Project
Set debuggable to true in the manifest file.

Here is the Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.app.neatspots.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="11" 
        android:targetSdkVersion="17"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RUN_INSTRUMENTATION" />
    <instrumentation
        android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
        android:targetPackage="com.app.neatspots" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true">
        <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
    </application>

</manifest>

Here is my simple test class:

package android.test;

import com.app.neatspots.MainActivity;
import com.jayway.android.robotium.solo.Solo;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;

public class MainActivityTest extends
        ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<MainActivity> {

    private Solo solo;

    public MainActivityTest() {
        super(MainActivity.class);
        this.solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
    }

    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
    }

    public void testClick()
    {
        solo.assertCurrentActivity("Check on first activity", MainActivity.class);
    }
}

Here is my LogCat. I put it in pastebin as well because it's ugly here. http://pastebin.com/GuvcRuHg

Btw it's not a problem, if you have only one test method, however you should instantiate solo in setUp method. Also you have missed tearDown. — maszter, Apr 05 '13 at 20:57
I was watching the Robotium video tutorial provided by the official website and that's what they do :S — Johnathan Au, Apr 05 '13 at 21:04
Also, my Android application is running perfectly fine. It's on the market... — Johnathan Au, Apr 05 '13 at 21:05
I'm sure, you are doing it wrong. This video is obsolete. http://code.google.com/p/robotium/wiki/Getting_Started — maszter, Apr 05 '13 at 21:30
I've instantiated solo in setUp and added the teardown method but it still doesn't work — Johnathan Au, Apr 05 '13 at 21:46
Could you upload your application somewhere else? It's not available for every country — maszter, Apr 05 '13 at 21:52
Umm, I don't know where else I can upload it that doesn't require me to pay again. What country are you in? — Johnathan Au, Apr 05 '13 at 21:57
I've set it to be distributable in Poland. It'll take a few hours for changes to take effect. Nevertheless, I've already tested my application with various users around the UK and USA who have different devices and Android versions and they all work fine. — Johnathan Au, Apr 05 '13 at 21:59

Downloaded your application. Here is the test I've prepared for this file. Anyway I don't have sources, so it must be a bit different:

package com.app.neatspots.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;

import com.jayway.android.robotium.solo.Solo;

public class Test extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<Activity> {

    private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_CLASSNAME = "com.app.neatspots.MainActivity";
    private static Class<?> launchActivityClass;
    static {
        try {
            launchActivityClass = Class.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_CLASSNAME);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
    private Solo solo;

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public Test() {
        super((Class<Activity>) launchActivityClass);
    }

    @Override
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
        solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
    }

    @Override
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        solo.finishOpenedActivities();
        super.tearDown();
    }

    public void testRecorded() throws Exception {
        solo.waitForActivity("MainActivity");
        solo.sleep(5000);
    }
}

It works for me: enter image description here Attached project as well: http://www.speedyshare.com/hf3hP/MyApkTest.zip

I don't know, what your problem is related to. I gave you only hints with constructor and setUp, as I cannot see your environment, project... — maszter, Apr 06 '13 at 17:07
I think it was ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 in the class signature as I put MainActivity as opposed to Activity — Johnathan Au, Apr 06 '13 at 17:56
Don't think so, if MainActivity extends Activity, it's correct as well — maszter, Apr 06 '13 at 20:33
You didn't get it. His test didn't even run. My finished without problems. It doesn't matter what is inside test method at all in this case... — maszter, Sep 09 '14 at 15:16

My simple test case does not run on Robotium
