whenever i run a unit test, i get this error when it tries to retrieve a string value from a custom config.xml file.
Background:
The project itself is a library apk project that uses and references another library APK project.
The error occurs when the project itself tries to initiate a new object that is a subclass of a super class contained on the referenced library apk project.
The Issue explained more below
The specific line of code that fails with the error is a static variable defined below:
protected static final String ANDROID_CONFIG_ID = LibraryApplication.getApplication().getString(R.string.api_checkout_config_id_override);
it fails with the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jon/commonlib/R$string
commonLib is the referenced library apk if you are wondering.
Here is my unit test
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, manifest=Config.NONE)
public class TestSearchShows {
@Test
public void testSearchJsonFile(){
EventsTestHelper testHelper = new EventsTestHelper(RuntimeEnvironment.application);
try {
ShowsList showList = testHelper.getShowList(new SearchEvent());
if(showList.getShows().size() < 0){
Assert.fail("show list is empty");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Assert.fail(e.toString());
}
}
}
The EventsTestHelper is the sub class for a super class called NetworkHelper which looks like this:
public abstract class NetworkHelper<T, P, S> implements NetworkConstants {
protected static final String ANDROID_CONFIG_ID = LibraryApplication.getApplication().getString(R.string.api_checkout_config_id_override);
//other stuff ....
}
I use robolectric version 3.0 the latest for runing ,my unit tests.
If i was to run the code live and call and initiate the sub class, it works perfectly fine, no crashes

edit: i have also tried to manually create a task that copies the r class for each dependency.
afterEvaluate { project ->
android.libraryVariants.each { variant ->
// workaround for missing R class for aar dependencies
def copyTaskName = "copy${variant.name.capitalize()}AppCompat"
def copyTaskNameTwo = "copy${variant.name.capitalize()}commonlib"
task(copyTaskName, type:Copy) {
dependsOn "process${variant.name.capitalize()}Resources"
from { "build/generated/source/r/${variant.dirName}/$package_namespace_path" }
into { "build/generated/source/r/${variant.dirName}/com/jon/commonlib" }
// into { "src/test/java/android/support/v7/appcompat" }
include 'R.java'
filter { line -> line.contains("package ${package_namespace};") ? 'package android.support.v7.appcompat;' : line }
outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
}
task(copyTaskNameTwo, type:Copy) {
dependsOn "process${variant.name.capitalize()}Resources"
from { "build/generated/source/r/${variant.dirName}/$package_namespace_path" }
into { "build/generated/source/r/${variant.dirName}/android/support/v7/appcompat" }
// into { "src/test/java/android/support/v7/appcompat" }
include 'R.java'
filter { line -> line.contains("package ${package_namespace};") ? 'package com.jon.commonlib;' : line }
outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
}
System.out.println("adding ${copyTaskName} build/generated/source/r/${variant.dirName}/$package_namespace_path ")
println("basename = ${variant.baseName}")
println("directory name = ${variant.dirName}")
tasks.getByName("compile${variant.name.capitalize()}UnitTestJava") dependsOn copyTaskName
}
}
Kind regards
