Error=Unable to find instrumentation info for: Com

Question

I am trying to stand up espresso tests but I keep getting this error:

INSTRUMENTATION_STATUS: Error=Unable to find instrumentation info for: ComponentInfo{com.mikeestrada.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner}

It worked once, but I can't get the reports to recreate correctly. They are just blank, didn't test anything. I've tried a plethora of commands including

adb shell am instrument -w -r com.mikeestrada.test/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

and

adb shell am instrument -w -r   com.mikeestrada.test/com.google.android.apps.common.testing.testrunner.GoogleInstrumentation TestRunner

Here are my code snippets:

AndroidManifest.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.example.myapplication"

            android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

If it means anything - the attributes of <instrumentation> in the manifest are colored red as if IntelliJ does not recognize them.

Any help is great, thanks!

Answer 1

The issue is that you are missing a space:

instrumentationandroid:name

should be

instrumentation android:name

Answer 2

You need to check which instrumentation packages have been installed on your device:

 adb shell pm list instrumentation

Then verify whether com.mikeestrada.test is actually listed there.

Answer 3

Also, looks like yours app package is com.mikeestrada. So in AndroidManifest set android:targetPackage as android:targetPackage="com.mikeestrada".

I hope this will help.

Answer 4

Looking at your build.gradle file, the problem is actually that you don't have the following configuration in the defaultConfig section:

testInstrumentationRunner "com.google.android.apps.common.testing.testrunner.GoogleInstrumentationTestRunner"

Espresso requires GoogleInstrumentationTestRunner in order to work.

Also with a gradle build system you shouldn't need an AndroidManifest.xml for the test project because it is auto generated.

Answer 5

From the above answers if the instrumentation package is missing install it with the following command:

$ gradle :{$project}:installDebugAndroidTest
