Java – Robolectric – AndroidStudio – Method with parameter not found testCompile()

I’m trying to run some basic unit tests in AndroidStudio using Robolectric and AssertJ. I’ve used the testCompile method to add Robolectric, AssertJ, and JUnit to my build.gradle file. However, when I try to actually run the unit tests, I keep getting an error message “Method not found by testCompile()”.

I’ve tried replacing the testCompile method with androidTestCompile, as mentioned earlier here ， But I couldn’t find the Robolectric, AssertJ, and JUnit classes to import into my SampleTest.java class.

I

also created a very basic sample application to see if I could get Robolectric to work. Everything works fine with the app, which confuses me, find the project here

Thank you very much for some help, thank you.

Here is the log output:

Here is my test class :

assertThat(testString).isNotNull();

}

This is the a-fp-core build.gradle file:

My test in Android Studio:

Source Set:

I can tell you about the Eclipse-based project that is based on your sourceSets:

sourceSets {
    main {
        manifest.srcFile 'src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'
        java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
        resources.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
        aidl.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
        renderscript.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
        res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res']
        assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets']
    }
}

I recommend deleting your sourceSets and using the Android Studio/Intellij project structure: src/main, src/test.

Run unit tests from IDE:

Make sure that Unit Tests is turned on.

This allows you to run unit tests in the IDE. Follow the instructions in the official Android documentation:

Source: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/unit-testing-support

Run unit tests from the command line:

Gradlew test
