Working on Android Instrumented Test to launch and test this fragment

But I am running to this nasty error.

Have been looking for an answer online but I have not come to any useful finding.

What could I be missing?

Solution

  • You should check the Roboelectric Dependency and ensure it is testImplementation

    In my case I was using this version

    implementation "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.5.1

    The error was gone when I switched to test implementation.

    testImplementation "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.5.1"
