  • 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:

    πŸš€ 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. πŸš€ 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.

    πŸ‘‰ Use Robolectric:

    testCompile "org.robolectric:robolectric:4.4"
    

    πŸ‘ SDK/JVM support

    πŸ—„ Deprecations

    • πŸ—„ 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)
    • πŸ—„ Deprecate ShadowContentResolver shadow API because they do not work with ContentProviderClient (#5376)
    • ⚑️ Deprecate ShadowLocationManager.getLocationUpdateListeners and ShadowLocationManager.getLocationUpdateListeners (#5150)
    • πŸ‘‰ Make it an error to run on Q with an unsupported java version
      βœ… instead of just silently skipping tests (#5290)
    • πŸ—„ Deprecate Robolectric's custom cursor implementation (#5613)
    • πŸ”’ 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

    πŸš€ 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:

    πŸš€ 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. πŸš€ 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

    πŸ”‹ Features

    • πŸ‘€ 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].
    • πŸ›  Fixed a significant performance regression in 4.x. Thanks @cesar1000! [issues #4142, #4585].

    βœ… Android SDK support and Test API changes

    • πŸ‘€ Activities must now be explicitly declared in a manifest (as is the case for normal Android). See #4736 for more context.

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].
    • Telephony
      • Add slotId based getImei() and getMeid() to TelephonyManager [issue #4521].

    • πŸ›  Fix LocalActivityInvoker.recreateActivity. Before this change, it called Activity.onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() directly to obtain nonConfigInstance for the activity.

    • 🚚 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].
    • πŸ—„ Deprecate Robolectric#setupActivity in favor of ActivityScenario [issue #4564].

    Internal Changes

    Known Issues

    • πŸ‘€ Activities must now be explicitly declared in a manifest (as is the case for normal Android); however, Android Gradle Plugin doesn't currently merge a test manifest. See #4736 for more context and #4727 for a workaround.
    • 🏁 Robolectric 4.2 doesn't work on Windows in some cases [issue #4603 et al.].
    • βœ… Android Gradle Plugin 3.2.1 and 3.3 report the following warning, which may be safely ignored: WARNING: The option setting 'android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources=true' is experimental and unsupported.. Android Gradle Plugin 3.4 will resolve this issue.
    • 🏁 Android Gradle Plugin 3.2.1 does not work on Windows; use 3.3 instead [issue #3955].

    Compatibility

    • πŸ”Œ Android Studio/Android Gradle Plugin 3.3 or 3.4 Beta
    • βœ… Android SDK 28 (includes support for testing against SDKs from 16 on)
