Resources$NotFoundException when calling Robolectr

I am using Robolectric 3.0 RC3 for unit testing in Android Studio. And I am getting a ResourceNotFoundException every time I run the test. Please help me resolve the issue.

build.gradle

dependencies {
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5'
    testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.0-rc3'
    compile 'com.ibm.icu:icu4j:53.1'
}

Test Class

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity.class).create().get();
}
@Test
public void pressingTheButtonShouldStartTheListActivity() throws Exception {
   //Something to test
}

So, whenever Robolectric.buildActivity() I get the Resources$NotFoundException. Resource #0x7f040016 points to R.layout.activity_main(xml). Following id the stack trace-

Process finished with exit code -1

MainActivity.java:15 is setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

MainActivityTest.java:32 is activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity.class).create().get();

回答1:

Is your test class annotated correctly? And is it using the correct path to a manifest file? The following works for me:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(manifest = "src/main/AndroidManifest.xml", emulateSdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public class MyActivityTest { .... }

Removing the Config annotation causes the ResourcesNotFound exception you mentioned.

This is realy help for me with Robolectric! Open Gradle, Double click on ProjectName > :app > Tasks > verification > testDebugUnitTest. More details here
