Rapid start development and test

with Android Studio, Gradle, Espresso, Robolectric, AndroidAnnotations, RoboCoP, JaCoCo

& UnitTest

Wishes, improvements and discussions about the stuff here are welcome

see also wiki for more help

• A more minimalistic robolectric example can be found at https://github.com/nenick/AndroidStudioAndRobolectric
• Basic examples how to use gradle-android-test-plugin see https://github.com/novoda/gradle-android-test-plugin

Last tests done with

• Android Studio 1.1.0
• Gradle Build Tools 1.1.2
• Gradle 2.2.1
• Novoda gradle-android-test-plugin 0.10.4 (Not yet released)

Getting Started

Until next novoda plugin release use the Script/install-custom-gradle-test-plugin.sh to install the necessary plugin version

Check if the project and tests works on your machine

clone, attach phone (or start emulator), run Scripts/run-tests.sh from project root

Check if you get this project to work with andorid studio

import to android studio, start development, press play

Support for Android studio

Out of the box

Tests on command line

unit tests: ./gradlew :App:testDebug

• append :App:jacocoTestReport for coverage report

component tests: ./gradlew :AppComponentTests:testDebug

• append :AppComponentTests:jacocoTestReport for coverage report

acceptance tests: ./gradlew :App:connectedAndroidTest

• replace by :App:connectedCheck for coverage report

rest example

Currently RestActivity example fails when no server is reachable.

• start Script/start-wiremock.sh
• kill Script/start-wiremock.sh kill

Test results

• build/index.html (should collect all reports, current is miss the AndroidSample module reports)
• App/build/test-report/debug/index.html (unit test)
• App/build/reports/jacoco/jacoco.html (unit test coverage)
• AppComponentTests/build/test-report/debug/index.html (component test)
• AppComponentTests/build/reports/jacoco/test/html/index.html (component test coverage)
• App/build/reports/androidTests/connected/index.html (acceptance tests)
• App/build/reports/coverage/debug/index.html (acceptance tests coverage)

Features done

• Gradle + AndroidStudio as development Enironment
• Robolectric for unit tests at jvm instead on devices
  • Code coverage with JaCoCo
• novoda/gradle-android-test-plugin to use Robolectric in submodule
  • Code coverage with JaCoCo
• FEST Android assertions
• Espresso for acceptance tests
• AndroidAnnotations generate dependency injection
• RoboCoP generate database management
• Travis CI runs all test variants
• Coveralls shows unit test code coverage coveralls-gradle-plugin

Scripts

• run-tests.sh execute all test variants
• run-tests-fast.sh execute just the robolectric tests
• run-tests-travis.sh do all steps necessary for full automatic builds, like install custom dependencies
