  • v4.5-alpha Changes

    September 30, 2020

    🛠 Robolectric 4.5 Alpha 1 adds support for Android API 30 (R final) and contains many bug fixes and other enhancements.

    🚀 More detailed release notes are forthcoming.

    For all changes view the comparison to 4.4.

    👉 Use Robolectric:

    testCompile "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.5-alpha-1"

  • v4.4 Changes

    August 24, 2020

    Robolectric 4.4 is a massive release in terms of improvements to Android compatibility. The most noticeable item in the release is that the new PAUSED looper mode is now the default. You can read about the PAUSED looper in more detail here: http://robolectric.org/blog/2019/06/04/paused-looper/.

    Note:

    🚀 1. Not all changes are listed in the release notes. There were many other minor changes (such as dependency version bumps) that weren't included in this list for brevity. For all changes view the comparison to 4.3.1. 🚀 2. Some of the pull requests in this release may contain duplicate changes from other pull requests in this release. We apologize for this messy history, it was the result of some misconfigured code sync tool. We’ve taken measures to ensure it doesn’t happen any more.

    👉 Use Robolectric:

    testCompile "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.4"

    👍 SDK/JVM support

    🗄 Deprecations

    • 🗄 Deprecate LooperMode LEGACY in favor of PAUSED (#5490), and default to PAUSED looper mode (#5491)
    • 🚚 Accessibility checking is now deprecated and has been moved into a separate maven artifact org.robolectric:plugin-accessibility-deprecated. Accessibility checking will be removed entirely from Robolectric 4.5. Please switch to Espresso for accessibility checking. (#5547)
    • 🗄 Deprecate ShadowContentResolver shadow API because they do not work with ContentProviderClient (#5376)
    • ⚡️ Deprecate ShadowLocationManager.getLocationUpdateListeners and ShadowLocationManager.getLocationUpdateListeners (#5150)
    • 👉 Make it an error to run on Q with an unsupported java version
      ✅ instead of just silently skipping tests (#5290)
    • 🗄 Deprecate Robolectric's custom cursor implementation (#5613)
    • 🔒 The BouncyCastle security provider is now considered deprecated due to the incompatibility with Java 9+ (#5849, #5850). This was preventing Robolectric tests (and Robolectric itself) from making HTTPS network requests on Java 9+. Long term the plan is to switch to Conscrypt.

  • v4.4-beta

    August 15, 2020

  • v4.4-alpha Changes

    July 23, 2020

    🚀 Robolectric 4.4 Alpha 2 is an alpha release. APIs are very likely to change and new features will be added. We'd love feedback from testing this version, but we recommend you don't rely on it in your test suite.

    This is a massive release in terms of improvements to Android compatibility. The most noticeable item in the release is that the new PAUSED looper mode is now the default. You can read about the PAUSED looper in more detail here: http://robolectric.org/blog/2019/06/04/paused-looper/.

    Note:

    🚀 1. Not all changes are listed in the release notes. There were many other minor changes (such as dependency version bumps) that weren't included in this list for brevity. For all changes view the comparison to 4.3.1. 🚀 2. Some of the pull requests in this release may contain duplicate changes from other pull requests in this release. We apologize for this messy history, it was the result of some misconfigured code sync tool. We’ve taken measures to ensure it doesn’t happen any more.

  • v4.2 Changes

    February 14, 2019

    🚀 This release introduces a new extension mechanism for Robolectric, fixes a major performance regression in 4.x, and includes numerous SDK support improvements and bug fixes.

    🔋 Features

    • 👀 Robolectric 4.2 introduces a new plugin system, replacing the previous ad-hoc customization mechanisms (subclassing RobolectricTestRunner, providing system properties, etc.). The old mechanisms are deprecated and will eventually be removed; let us know if there are missing extension points you need. See org.robolectric.pluginapi for more details [issue #4362].
    • 🛠 Fixed a significant performance regression in 4.x. Thanks @cesar1000! [issues #4142, #4585].
    • For developers of custom shadows, Robolectric 4.2 has a new typesafe and more performant way to access fields and methods on @RealObjects using the Reflector API [issues #4361, #4315, #4351, #4456]

    ✅ Android SDK support and Test API changes

    • 👀 Activities must now be explicitly declared in a manifest (as is the case for normal Android). See #4736 for more context.
    • 📦 PackageManager
      • PackageManager is moving to returning defensive immutable copies of its internal data (as on a real device). A series of new testing APIs have been added to modify the package under test; see PackageManager.addOrUpdateActivity() and removeActivity(), plus Service, ContentProvider, and BroadcastReceiver equivalents [issue #4489].
      • Implement PackageManager.isSafeMode() [issue #4526].
    • ShadowDisplayManager.getSaturationLevel() is now an instance method [issue #4522].

    • ⚡️ Update to ShadowDevicePolicyManager to allow uses-policy granting [issue #4546].
    • Modify ShadowParcel to throw an Error instead of RuntimeException to discourage [issue #4528].

    🔧 Configuration

    🐛 Bug Fixes

    • The android system context is no longer a parent of the application context [issue #4481].
    • 🛠 Fix LocalActivityInvoker.recreateActivity. Before this change, it called Activity.onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() directly to obtain nonConfigInstance for the activity. This should've called indirectly from Activity.retainNonConfigurationInstances(). retainNonConfigurationInstances() also creates nonConfigInstances for fragments to prepare for the host activity recreation [issue #4511].
    • 🛠 Fix timeout in FontsContract.getFontSync() caused because Context.canLoadUnsafeResources() now returns false since the context isn't a system context [issue #4517].
    • 🛠 Fix handling of persisted preferred activities [issue #4480].
    • 🛠 Fix processName setting and add few more reasonable defaults when installing new package [issue #4465].
    • ➕ Add permission check to LocationManager.setLocationEnabledForUser [issue #4500].
    • No longer reset the data position after unmarshalling a ShadowParcel [issue #4468].
    • 🛠 Fix NPE Robolectric when a failure occurs before shadows are set up [issue #4467].
    • Set AppBindData#processName consistently with ApplicationInfo#processName [issue #4537].
    • 📦 Throw NameNotFoundException from Context.createPackageContext for non-existing packages [issue #4527].
    • 🔀 Synchronize access to ShadowPendingIntent and ShadowUsageStatsManager fields [issue #4520].
    • 🛠 Fix Activity#isChangingConfigurations() returning false during the recreation [issue #4540].
    • 🛠 Fix equality in ShadowNetwork [issue #4464].

    🗄 Deprecations and Removals

    • 🚚 FsFile et al. have been removed in favor of java.nio.file.Path [issue #4265].
    • ⚡️ ShadowPackageManager.addResolveInfoForIntent is deprecated; add explicit activity declarations in your manifest, or use ShadowPackageManager.addOrUpdateActivity(ActivityInfo) [issue #4489].
    • 🗄 Deprecate Robolectric#setupActivity in favor of ActivityScenario [issue #4564].

    Internal Changes
