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 enviro

Answer 1

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 =
      ActivityTestRule(TestFragmentActivity::class.java)

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

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