Android - Testing a String Resource with Robolectric
I just want to check that getting the String resource is equal to what I think should be equal. My problem is that I have Realm in my project. I know that Robolectric doesn't support Realm (he mentions it in the documentation), but I don't call Realm at all, so I feel like there might be a way to do this.
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.RuntimeEnvironment;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21, manifest = "app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml")
public class ResourceTester {
@Test
public void testingString() {
String resourceString = RuntimeEnvironment.application.getString(R.string.app_name);
assertEquals(resourceString, "Yeah");
}
}
It's like IS trying to summon Realm
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library:

robolectric3612430387389787158/app_lib/librealm-jni.dylib.3.5.0
EDIT: I tried some other things and it seems that setting manifest
in @Config annotation is the problem, but then I getandroid.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: unknown resource 2131362072
Any other thoughts? Can I make another application class where Realm
it is not called? How does the / test directory know about this?
EDIT FOR DAVID:
I've tried this:
@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
@Config(application = TestingApplication.class, constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
public class ResourceTester {
@Test
public void newTestingTests() throws Exception {
String appName = RuntimeEnvironment.application.getString(R.string.app_name);
}
}
but i get:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: unknown resource 2131362072
If I change it to
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
//@RunWith(RobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
@Config(application = TestingApplication.class, constants = BuildConfig.class, sdk = 21)
public class ResourceTester {
@Test
public void newTestingTests() throws Exception {
String appName = RuntimeEnvironment.application.getString(R.string.app_name);
}
}
I get
WARNING: No manifest file found at ./AndroidManifest.xml.Falling back to the Android OS resources only.
To remove this warning, annotate your test class with @Config(manifest=Config.NONE).

If you have a heavy application class (for example with Realm dependencies, Crashlytics, etc.) and your unit tests do not refer to them, you can use android.app.Application
as your application class in config:
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(application = android.app.Application.class, manifest="src/main/AndroidManifest.xml", sdk = 23)
public class ResourceTester {
