Android native automation testing
Appfigurate can change the configuration of an Android app being automation tested using using Espresso.
An example UI automation test using Espresso is available in AppfigurateExample
. To test, ensure MainActivityTest
is selected as the Run Configuration, then tap the run button.

Ensure allowInvalidSignatures returns true
In your nz.co.electricbolt.appfiguratelibrary.Configuration
subclass, ensure that your allowInvalidSignatures
method returns true
when running automation tests.
Test setup
Before each test, call the automationReset
method to ensure the app's configuration is reset to factory defaults.
private var config: ExampleConfiguration? = null
@Before
fun setUp() {
config = Configuration.sharedConfiguration() as ExampleConfiguration
config?.automationReset()
}
Applying configuration to an automation test
In your test method, set your configuration properties to the values you require, then call the automationApply
method.
@Test
fun yourTest() {
config?.bool = false
config?.string_Textfield = "thursday"
config?.automationApply()
...
