So I am trying to write instrumentation tests using a custom build variant, mock. In this build variant I mocked up my classes and server. When I try using the mock build myself it works fine, but I can't seem to use my mock build for testing. Here's what my configuration looks like inside Android Studio.
I had some issues getting my tests to run so I tried to uninstall all versions of my app except my mock version and I keep getting this error:
Test running startedTest running failed: Unable to find instrumentation target package: com.teamtreehouse.review.debug
However when I try to run my tests against the debug build variant it works fine. It installs my debug version then proceeds to run the tests.
You can do testing on a different build variant; but only on one. The default is debug.
See this: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-tips#change-the-test-build-type
Currently only one Build Type is tested. By default it is the debug Build Type, but this can be reconfigured with:
android {
...
testBuildType "staging"
}
