This error occurs because the default scheduler returned by AndroidSchedulers.mainThread() is an instance of LooperScheduler and relies on Android dependencies that are not available in JUnit tests.
We can avoid this issue by initializing RxAndroidPlugins with a different Scheduler before the tests are run. You can do this inside of a @BeforeClass method like so:
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpRxSchedulers() {
Scheduler immediate = new Scheduler() {
@Override
public Disposable scheduleDirect(@NonNull Runnable run, long delay, @NonNull TimeUnit unit) {
// this prevents StackOverflowErrors when scheduling with a delay
return super.scheduleDirect(run, 0, unit);
}
@Override
public Worker createWorker() {
return new ExecutorScheduler.ExecutorWorker(Runnable::run);
}
};
RxJavaPlugins.setInitIoSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitComputationSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitNewThreadSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitSingleSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxAndroidPlugins.setInitMainThreadSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
}
Or you can create a custom TestRule that will allow you to reuse the initialization logic across multiple test classes.
public class RxImmediateSchedulerRule implements TestRule {
private Scheduler immediate = new Scheduler() {
@Override
public Disposable scheduleDirect(@NonNull Runnable run, long delay, @NonNull TimeUnit unit) {
// this prevents StackOverflowErrors when scheduling with a delay
return super.scheduleDirect(run, 0, unit);
}
@Override
public Worker createWorker() {
return new ExecutorScheduler.ExecutorWorker(Runnable::run);
}
};
@Override
public Statement apply(final Statement base, Description description) {
return new Statement() {
@Override
public void evaluate() throws Throwable {
RxJavaPlugins.setInitIoSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitComputationSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitNewThreadSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxJavaPlugins.setInitSingleSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
RxAndroidPlugins.setInitMainThreadSchedulerHandler(scheduler -> immediate);
try {
base.evaluate();
} finally {
RxJavaPlugins.reset();
RxAndroidPlugins.reset();
}
}
};
}
}
Which you can then apply to your test class
public class TestClass {
@ClassRule public static final RxImmediateSchedulerRule schedulers = new RxImmediateSchedulerRule();
@Test
public void testStuff_stuffHappens() {
...
}
}
Both of these methods will ensure that the default schedulers will be overridden before any of the tests execute and before AndroidSchedulers is accessed.
Overriding the RxJava schedulers with an immediate scheduler for unit testing will also make sure the RxJava usages in the code being tested gets run synchronously, which will make it much easier to write the unit tests.
