Testing two activities with Robolectric 4 and Espresso












0















I am just wondering if I can write tests in Robolectric 4 that I can test full integration between Activities.



I need to open FirstActivity because I have to get full data from network API and then my application starts SecondActivity that is using data from FirstActivity.
I do not pass data in bundle.



So we scenarios should look like:
1. Open first activity
2. Open second activity
3. Check if button is visible (Espresso)
4. Next step to test flow



I have test written in Espresso (Automated Test) and I can do everything what I wrote above. Is it possible to make similar test with Robolectric?



Does Robolectric have idea to test only one activity without integration for another?

          I don't think that is possible with Robolectric 4.0.2, though you can test if the intent to move to another activity was created, which may serve as a substitution. (If you wish to test the transition was successful). But yea you have to make 2 classes with 2 different ActivityRules in order to test this.

          • Actually check this: robolectric.org/activity-lifecycle Maybe you can invoke new activities using the controller
