Android instrumented test no tests found

Question

I am new to Android instrumented unit tests. I have a simple test that looks like this. This is in instrumented tests; before I really write an actual instrumented test, I just want to test a simple one:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@SmallTest
public class AddressBookKeepingInstrumentedTest {


    public static final String TEST_STRING = "This is a string";
    public static final long TEST_LONG = 12345678L;

    @Test
    public void test_simple() {
        assertEquals(2,1+1);
    }
}

When I run this, I get the following error:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: No tests found in com.example.myfirstapp.AddressBookKeepingInstrumentedTest
at android.test.AndroidTestRunner.runTest(AndroidTestRunner.java:191)
at android.test.AndroidTestRunner.runTest(AndroidTestRunner.java:176)
at android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner.onStart(InstrumentationTestRunner.java:554)
at android.app.Instrumentation$InstrumentationThread.run(Instrumentation.java:1729)

Tests ran to completion.

Gradle build passed with success before this. Any ideas why this is happening?

Please add the following into your build.gradle and put your test classes into androidTest folder:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
}

For AndroidX projects you should use:

testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
