Importing libraries such as androidx.test:core:1.2.0
, androidx.test.ext:truth:1.2.0
, com.google.truth:truth:0.44
, and etc. into a local JUnit test class named ExampleUnitTest.kt.
Observed
Error

Implementation
ExampleUnitTest.kt
import androidx.test.core.app.ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext
import com.google.common.truth.Truth.assertThat
Solution
This appears to be an issue documented in the Android Testing Codelab sample app.
Within the Codelab sample build.gradle this is referred to as a known issue.
// Once https://issuetracker.google.com/127986458 is fixed this can be testImplementation
implementation "androidx.test:core:$androidXTestCoreVersion"
I refactored my app's dependency to testImplementation
instead of androidTestImplementation
.
testImplementation 'androidx.test:core:1.2.0'
testImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:truth:1.2.0'
testImplementation 'com.google.truth:truth:0.44'
Note - The Google documentation Set up project for AndroidX Test should be updated to reflect this issue as it currently instructs the developer to use androidTestImplementation
. I have filed a documentation issue to resolve this.
