Instrumental Testing with FragmentScenario

Question

I'm trying to use the new FragmentScenario APIs of the androidx testing libraries for local testing and instrumentation testing(androidTest). The api works fine in local environment but in instrumental testing, it gives error: java.lang.AssertionError: Activity never becomes requested state "[RESUMED, DESTROYED]" (last lifecycle transition = "PRE_ON_CREATE")"

Help me in instumental testing(androidTest)

Please check complete error detail:

java.lang.AssertionError: Activity never becomes requested state "[RESUMED, DESTROYED]" (last lifecycle transition = "PRE_ON_CREATE")

Instrument Testing(androidTest) code is:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
class LoginFragmentTest1 {
    @Test
    fun dummyTest() {
        val scenario = launchFragmentInContainer<LoginFragment>()
        onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.user_name)).perform(ViewActions.typeText("Hello World!"))
        onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.user_name)).check(matches(withText("Hello World!")))
    }

}

Local unit test code is:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
@Config(application = MyApplication::class, shadows = [ShadowAndroidXMultiDex::class])
class LoginFragmentTest2 {
    @Test
    fun dummyTest() {
        val scenario = launchFragmentInContainer<LoginFragment>()
        onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.user_name)).perform(ViewActions.typeText("Hello World!"))
        onView(ViewMatchers.withId(R.id.user_name)).check(matches(withText("Hello World!")))
    }

}

Answer 1

You need to add "fragment-testing" dependency to the APK under testing instead of test APK.

So please update your build.gradle to

debugImplementation "androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:$fragment_version"

from

androidTestImplementation "androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:$fragment_version"

(This is due to implementation details of FragmentScenario. "fragment-testing" declares Activity and is used by FragmentScenario. Activities declared in test APK runs in different process from APK under testing. In order to execute Fragment's code in the same process, you need to put "fragment-testing" library into your APK, not in test APK.)

Here's also a tutorial page in developers site.

Answer 2

I believe there is a limitation within the launch(Intent startActivityIntent) method of ActivityScenario. It only wants the Activity to be RESUMED or DESTROYED and if it isn't within 4.5 seconds then it throws that error.

Within public static <A extends Activity> ActivityScenario<A> launch(Intent startActivityIntent) of Activity Scenario, check the logic scenario.waitForActivityToBecomeAnyOf(State.RESUMED, State.DESTROYED);

EDIT This issue has been fixed.

Answer 3

In my case the activity that the fragment is launched in, EmptyFragmentScenario, could not be opened because of a

I couldn't find the correct dependency I need in order for that EmptyFragmentActivity to be included at runtime so my temporary workaround was to not use launchFragmentInContainer and instead launch my own Activity:

My test activity:

class TestFragmentActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
  }

  fun replaceFragment(fragment: Fragment) {
    supportFragmentManager
        .beginTransaction()
        .replace(android.R.id.content, fragment)
        .commit()
  }
}

My test:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
class MyFragmentAndroidTest {

  @get:Rule val activityRule: ActivityTestRule<TestFragmentActivity> =
      ActivityTestRule(TestFragmentActivity::class.java)

  @Test
  fun test() {
    activityRule.activity.replaceFragment(MyFragment.newInstance())

    onView(withId(R.id.title)).check(matches(withText("Title"))))
    // More assertions.
  }
}
