Android studio Instrumented Test stuck at: Task :app:connectedDebugAndroidTest

Question

I have encountered a problem that when I tried to run Android Instrument test, android studio will start building, everything is good until it stuck to this line

"> Task :app:connectedDebugAndroidTest"

and run for the next 2hrs and never proceed the actual test. What I have seen is that the test app has been successfully built into my device but just won't open and run.

Strange thing is that I have built successfully once before, but after when I tried to build again, it never success anymore. Even when I didn't change my code.

Here are the things I had tried

Update Android Studio - version 2021.3.1 Patch 1
Clean and Rebuild Project
Invalidate cache and Restart
Update SDK build tools
Restart Computer
Restart phone device

But still can't build!

Here is my instrument test class screen shot

running process screen shot

Has anyone had this problem before?

I'm stuck at the same spot today although yesterday the same tests were running fine... did you manage to fix it? — Bruce, Dec 15 '22 at 23:28
Same problem. The team at Google clearly does not care about major issues like this. It is such a time waster trying to debug a test that keeps crashing in debug mode. — John Glen, Jul 27 '23 at 16:44

I started seeing the same issue after upgrading to androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.5.5 and androidx.test:core-ktx:1.5.0

You can try to downgrade the versions to previous ones, or you can use next dependencies instead:

debugImplementation("androidx.fragment:fragment-testing-manifest:1.6.0-alpha04") androidTestImplementation("androidx.fragment:fragment-testing:1.6.0-alpha04")

Yes, this is exactly my problem, downgrading the version works, thanks! – GAME TTXD Jan 29 '23 at 15:37

Downgrading to `1.5.4.` still yields the same issue – AouledIssa Mar 21 '23 at 22:15

Found answer to this issue. Apparently when you open logcat side by side when building, you encounter this error which is the root cause of build never completing:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "androidx.test.platform.io.PlatformTestStorageRegistry"

Add this dependency to get this class:

debugImplementation "androidx.test:monitor:1.6.1"

You're good to go :)
