Use the RoboLectric Note Framework for fast test: a must -have guide for developers of Java library libraries
Abstract: This article will introduce how to use the RoboLectric annotation framework for fast testing.Robolectric is a unit test framework for running Android applications on a local JVM.This article will introduce the use of the RoboLectric annotation framework in detail, as well as related programming code and configuration.
1 Introduction
Robolectric is a unit test framework for running Android applications on a local JVM.It provides a framework that simulates the Android environment, allowing developers to test the unit test of Android applications locally without depending on the device or simulator.
2. Fast start
To use the Robolectric Note Framework for fast testing, we first need to add RoboLectric dependencies to the project's Build file.Add the following code to the Build.gradle file:
dependencies {
testImplementation 'org.robolectric:robolectric:4.3.1'
}
Then, use the `@runwith (RoboLectricTESTRUNER.CLass)` in the test class, the Runner of the specified running test is specified as follows: as shown:
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class MyTestClass {
// Test Methods
}
Use the@test` annotation on the test method to identify the method as a test method, as shown below:
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class MyTestClass {
@Test
public void testSomething() {
// Test code
}
}
3. Write test cases
In the test method, you can use various tools and methods provided by Robolectric for testing.Here are some commonly used test methods:
-` Robolectric.setupActivity (ActivityClass.Class) `: Simulates starting an activity.
-` RoboLectric.BuildActivity (activityClass.class) .create (). Start (). Resume (). Get () `: Construct and start an activity.
-`hadowActivity ShadowActivity = Shadows.Shadowof (Activity) `: Get the shadow object of Activity.
-`hadowView ShadowView = Shadows.Shadowof (View) `: Get the Shadow object of the View.
-` Robolectric.clICKON (View) `: Simulates a view.
-` RoboLectric.flushforegroundSchedscheduler () `: Manually refresh the front desk thread tone device.
4. Run test test
After the test case is configured, the test can be run.In Android Studio, right -click the test class or test method and select the "Run" option to run the test.The test results will be displayed in the "Run" window.
5. Advanced configuration
The RoboLectric annotation framework also provides many other configuration options and extensions, which can be set as needed.For example, you can use the `@config` annotation to configure various Android environment variables, such as the SDK version, screen size, etc.You can use the behavior of the definition of the Android class.You can use `@bind` annotations to bind customized implementation classes.
in conclusion:
This article introduces the method of fast testing using the Robolectric Note Framework.By using the RoboLectric annotation framework, developers can run the unit test of Android applications on the local JVM to develop and debug more efficiently.It is hoped that this article provides a practical guide for the developer of the Java library, so that they can better use the Robolectric annotation framework for testing.
