junit - How to run unit tests with Android Studio

Question

I'm using Jake's Android unit tests plugin for gradle: https://github.com/JakeWharton/gradle-android-test-plugin

My build.gradle looks like this:

dependencies {
// analytics
compile('com.crittercism:crittercism-android:3.0.11')

// retrofit
compile('com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.2.2')
compile('com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:1.2.1')

// dagger
compile('com.squareup.dagger:dagger:1.1.0')
compile('com.squareup.dagger:dagger-compiler:1.1.0')

// compatibility
compile('android.compatibility:android-support:v4-r13')
compile('com.actionbarsherlock:actionbarsherlock:4.4.0@aar')

// Picasso
compile('com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.1.1')

// Otto
compile('com.squareup:otto:1.3.4')

// Tests
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.10'
testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.2'
testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito:1.5.1'
testCompile 'org.easytesting:fest-assert-core:2.0M10'
}

Unfortunately I'm not able to run all or specific unit test form Android Studio. I'm getting error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: junit/textui/ResultPrinter
 at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
 at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:171)

 ... 3 more

And this is correct because running command line doesn't include my JUnit dependency:

I wonder if anyone was able to run unit tests in Android Studio? And if it is possible how make it?

Answer 1

just add folder named instrumentTest under /src it should have /java inside like this

then extend the class ActivityTestCase (or any other android unit-test-class), such as

package com.example.app.test;

import android.test.ActivityTestCase;

import junit.framework.Assert;


public class MainActivityTest extends ActivityTestCase {


public void testHappy(){
    Assert.assertTrue(true);
}

} 

right click on green java directory and select run all tests and you should get this:

good luck
