I'm trying to use the MonkeyTalk to automate the black-box tests in my Android app. The problem I'm facing is that they don't have anything documented about using it with Maven. So, after a lot of research and trying a lot of things, I made the build to work. But, my app is crashing when I install the MonkeyTalk agent.
I don't know if it's something wrong with my build or if the MonkeyTalk agent is incompatible with the libraries I'm using. So, here is what I've done to build with maven:
First, I've downloaded the MonkeyTalk and installed the JAR of the agent using this command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=monkeytalk-agent-1.0.53.jar -DgroupId="com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk" -DartifactId="monkeytalk-agent" -Dversion="1.0.53" -Dpackaging="jar"
So, I added the following dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
And, since I don't want the MonkeyTalk agent to be included in every release, I've created a profile as follows:
<profile>
<id>monkeytalk</id>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk</groupId>
<artifactId>monkeytalk-agent</artifactId>
<version>1.0.53</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<aspectLibraries>
<aspectLibrary>
<groupId>com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk</groupId>
<artifactId>monkeytalk-agent</artifactId>
</aspectLibrary>
</aspectLibraries>
<showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<Xlint>ignore</Xlint>
<outxml>true</outxml>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<!--<phase>process-sources</phase>-->
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>test-compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
With this configuration, the build works normally. I see in the log that the aspectj plugin is configuring the MonkeyTalk. Here is part of the log:
[INFO] Join point 'method-call(void android.widget.TextView.setText(java.lang.CharSequence))' in Type 'com.devspark.appmsg.AppMsg' (AppMsg.java:144) advised by before advice from 'com.gorillalogic.fonemonkey.aspects.SetText' (monkeytalk-agent-1.0.56.jar!SetText.class:26(from SetText.aj))

Ok, but when I install the app and try to open it, I can only open the first screen, that is the most simple, having just some buttons that either login via a social network or open another Activity. But when I open another Activity, that is much more complex, the app crashes. And it's very strange, because in each Android version, it crashes with a different exception.
This exception, for example, happens with Android 4.3:

In Android 2.2, I have this exception:

Does someone with more experience with MonkeyTalk knows why its agent is breaking my app? Is it my maven configuration?
