Limitation of ActivityScenario's Launch Method about android-test

[zsperske]

I have run into this same issue when updating AGP to 7.2.0

Can this issue be reopened? I am still able to reproduce it with ActivityRule and ActivityScenarioRule on 1.3.0 on several tests. I am even able to reproduce on an absolutely empty AppCompatActivity. The deprecated ActivityTestRule works, though.

Edit: If you need a live example of the reproductibility, here is the repository. The tests pass on the branch 143-passes and fail on the branch 143-fails and the branch 143-fails-empty demontrate how the test fail even on an empty AppCompatActivity.

The relevant test class is LoginActivityTest which tests LoginActivity (that class is totally commented out on the branch 143-fails-empty).

Strangely, this does not reproduce througout all the tests. For instance, SettingsFragmentTest contains a call to onActivity which produces not error either on my computer on my Jenkins CI.

This appears to still be an issue in 1.3.0-rc03. Reverting to the deprecated ActivityTestRule works.

It seems the build/test logs for this repository are not public. Is the redirectingActivityShouldBeLaunchable test failing? If not, I'll try to come up with a small demo app and create a new issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue with the detailed explanation. This behavior was by design because moveToState method doesn't work otherwise. However, given the example you explained there are valid use cases certainly. I updated launch method to accept any of steady states and moveToState's javadoc by my latest commit.

Thank you @yuuki3655 ! This will be very helpful.

It also happens with 1.4.0
@yuuki3655 could you please reopen this issue?

[chriswiesner]

yes, also same problem here with 1.4.0

Why waitForActivityToBecomeAnyOf is private? it could be useful in tests

I had the same problem here, using the AGP 8.2.1...
I could realize that the problem happens when I'm calling the function close() of the scenario.
Here we're using androidx test core version 1.5.0.
