I have an issue using the JUnit4 @BeforeClass annotation in instrumented Android unit test (I'm using the Espresso GUI testing library). As soon as I add a test with the @BeforeClass annotation, Android Studio 1.5.1 does not run any tests at all but instead just prints "Empty test suite". I'm not using a test suite. I searched this site and the web but couldn't find a solution. I thought that it might be a problem that the code, which is called within the @BeforeClass method actually fails (TDD), but this error even occurs when code, which is working in normal test cases, is put in the @BeforeClass annotated method.
Thank you.
UPDATE: After checking the logcat output, as one commenter suggested, it seems that the problem is that the problem is that no activity was started: No activities found. Did you forget to launch the activity by calling getActivity() or startActivitySync or similar?
How should I do this? I can't use the ActivityTestRule field, as the @BeforeClass annotated method is static.
Maybe I'm just using the @BeforeClass annotation in a wrong way. My impression was that you can use this annotation to execute tests before all the other tests in the test class. I was basically looking for a replacement for the TestNG annotation "dependsOnMethods" here. Maybe I'm better off using the @FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING) annotation on the test class and renaming the first test case to aaa_my_testcase.
Could somebody please comment on that? Thanks.
Rephrased the title of the question.
