Using assets in robolectric tests
I was able to make it like this:
1) Copy (or create) AndroidManifest.xml in test folder
2) Add @Config(emulateSdk = 18, manifest = "src/test/AndroidManifest.xml")
for this specific test
I was able to read file. So it means you could play with AndroidManifest
class and custom runner (more inspiration here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robolectric/YvbdqRFcdnA)
I think it could be also possible to play with build.gradle
:
android {
sourceSets {
androidTest.setRoot( 'src/test' )
androidTest {
assets.srcDir file( 'src/test/assets' )
}
}
}
but I'm not sure since plugin doesn't create any build variant but just tasks.
Since my tests are just reading these files and returning file data as a String
I was able to do that via getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(MY_FILE_PATH)
and then read file. Dont really need to read to use getShadowApplication().getAssets().open(MY_FILE_PATH)
.
I just moved my test data files to src/test/resources
and it worked. :)
