I have trouble loading resources when running unit tests from command line. It works fine in IntelliJ.
I'm using:
I have the following project structure (Multi-module):
+---module1
| | build.gradle
| \---src
| +---main
| | | AndroidManifest.xml
| | |
| | +---res
| | | \---values
| | | strings.xml
| \---test
| \---java
| \---example
| | FooTest.java
+---module2
etc
My test (simplified) looks like this:
@Config(emulateSdk = 18, reportSdk = 18, manifest = "./src/main/AndroidManifest.xml")
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class FooTest {
@Test
public void test() {
String result = Robolectric.application.getString(R.string.error_message);
assertThat(result, notNullValue());
}
}
I get this stacktrace:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: unknown resource 2131361826
at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager.getAndResolve(ShadowAssetManager.java:311)
at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager.getResourceText(ShadowAssetManager.java:69)

at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowContext.getString(ShadowContext.java:41)
at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowContextWrapper.getString(ShadowContextWrapper.java:96)
at android.content.Context.getString(Context.java)
Note: I'm quite new to Gradle so it is likely that there is a misconfiguration somewhere. I have assumed that by following the project structure convention that I don't need to specify where to find resources. I tried specifying them but without any luck:
android {
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res']
assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets']
}
}
}
During investigation we found the cause of problem. If you use android gradle plugin v1.1.x
then you don't need in common robolectric gradle plugin
.
Be carefull that incorrect version of robolectric gradle plugin
will break your tests.
