NoClassDefFoundError: ... R $ style when using Robolectric with Android Library (AAR)
We are developing a library that provides an Activity and I would like to be able to do some functional testing in an Activity.
Mine build.gradle
includes:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.1.1'
testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.+'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
testCompile('org.robolectric:robolectric:3.0-rc2') {
exclude group: 'commons-logging', module: 'commons-logging'
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}
testCompile('org.robolectric:shadows-httpclient:3.0-rc2') {
exclude group: 'commons-logging', module: 'commons-logging'
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}
testCompile('org.robolectric:shadows-support-v4:3.0-rc2') {
exclude group: 'commons-logging', module: 'commons-logging'
exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
}
}
And mine LibraryActivityTest
includes:
@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
public class LibraryActivityTest {
@Test
public void testOnCreate() throws Exception {
LibraryActivity libraryActivity = Robolectric.buildActivity(LibraryActivity.class).create().get();
}
}
MyRobolectricGradleTestRunner
overrides getAppManifest
to restore the ability to specify a specific AndroidManifest.xml for testing, instead of using the app version.
When I try to run testOnCreate
from the Android Studio or gradle command line, I get a def not found class error for android/support/v7/appcompat/R$styleable
:

It's also worth noting that the installation and configuration seems to be reasonable as tests that don't include ActivityController.create
seem to work fine.
How can I resolve this error?

So, the root of the problem seems to be how gradle handles (or doesn't) create android/support/v7/appcompat/R.java
for com.android.library
modules.
With hints here I managed to get it working from both command line and Android by putting this piece in mybuild.gradle
def package_namespace = "com.moxiesoft.netagent.androidchatcustomerclient"
def package_namespace_path = package_namespace.replaceAll("\\.", "/")
afterEvaluate { project ->
android.libraryVariants.each { variant ->
// workaround for missing R class for aar dependencies
def copyTaskName = "copy${variant.name.capitalize()}AppCompat"
task(copyTaskName, type:Copy) {
dependsOn "process${variant.name.capitalize()}Resources"
from "build/generated/source/r/${variant.name}/$package_namespace_path"
// into "build/generated/source/r/${variant.name}/android/support/v7/appcompat"
into "src/test/java/android/support/v7/appcompat"
include 'R.java'
filter { line -> line.contains("package ${package_namespace};") ? 'package android.support.v7.appcompat;' : line }
outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
}
tasks.getByName("compile${variant.name.capitalize()}UnitTestJava") dependsOn copyTaskName
}
}
Basically it is just copying the generated R.java file into the test build folder so that it gets picked up by the test compilation phase. I tried putting a copy in the generated sources folder, but the test compilation phase doesn't seem to pick it up there.
