I am getting weird exception when i am trying to execute my application class through robolectric. I am stuck from several hours on it. Could someone please help me on it? My code snippet is given below:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! at android.test.ApplicationTestCase.__constructor__(ApplicationTestCase.java:5) at android.test.ApplicationTestCase.<init>(ApplicationTestCase.java) at com.grapplemobile.tmcplus.TmcPlusApplicationTest.<init>(TmcPlusApplicationTest.java:26) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.createTest(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:217) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$HelperTestRunner.createTest(RobolectricTestRunner.java:520) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner$1.runReflectiveCall(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:266) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.methodBlock(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:263) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$HelperTestRunner.methodBlock(RobolectricTestRunner.java:530) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$2.evaluate(RobolectricTestRunner.java:247) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner.runChild(RobolectricTestRunner.java:188) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner.runChild(RobolectricTestRunner.java:54) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:290) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:71) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:288) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:58) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:268) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$1.evaluate(RobolectricTestRunner.java:152) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:363) at org.junit.runner.JUnitCore.run(JUnitCore.java:137) at com.intellij.junit4.JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.startRunnerWithArgs(JUnit4IdeaTestRunner.java:69) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.prepareStreamsAndStart(JUnitStarter.java:234) at com.intellij.rt.execution.junit.JUnitStarter.main(JUnitStarter.java:74) at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:144)
My Code is following:
@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class,sdk = 18)
public class MyApplicationTest extends ApplicationTestCase<MyApplication>{
private MyApplication application;
public MyApplicationTest ()
{
super(MyApplication.class);
}
@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
// super.setUp();
createApplication();
application = getApplication();
}
@Test
public void testonCreate() throws Exception {
application.onCreate();
}
Answer
Don’t mix JUnit tests with instrumental tests:
@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class,sdk = 18)
public class MyApplicationTest{
}
If you need the instance of the application then use RuntimeEnvironment.application. If you want to test Application itself then just create it with new and call methods on it, but it should be not Robolectric test
