Hi i'm trying to run an Espresso test but it fails and I'm sure what the problem is or what I am doing wrong.
When I run the tests I get the following in my console
Running tests
Test running started
java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

it says it fails because I need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity and shows in the stacktrace line 54 which is setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);
ButterKnife.bind(this);
I have set the theme in the application and even made sure by setting the theme on the activity
<application android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".Login.LoginActivity"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"></activity>
and what my themes parent is "Theme.AppCompat"
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
So I am a bit confused as to why it fails on this when I am using a theme descending from Theme.AppCompat
here is also my activity extending from AppCompactActivity
public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity
my dependecies in my Gradle for androidTest are
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.4.1'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.4.1'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestCompile "com.crittercism.dexmaker:dexmaker:1.3"
androidTestCompile "com.crittercism.dexmaker:dexmaker-dx:1.3"
androidTestCompile "com.crittercism.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:1.3"
androidTestCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
and this is the test I am trying to run
@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@LargeTest
public class LoginNavigationForgotPasswordTest {
@Rule
public ActivityTestRule<LoginActivity> mActivityRule = new ActivityTestRule(LoginActivity.class);
@Test
public void testClick() {
// Find Button and Click on it
onView(withId(R.id.login_forgot_password_button)).perform(click());
// Find TextView and verify the correct text that is displayed
onView(withId(R.id.forgot_top_title)).check(matches(withText("Forgot Password")));
}
}
Maybe there is something bluntly obvious I am doing wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
btw the app works fine when running it
