    text
    copied!<p>I just configured a test project for my Android app to use Robolectric. I followed the <a href="http://pivotal.github.com/robolectric/eclipse-quick-start.html">Eclipse Quick Start</a>. An exception is raised executing my simple very first test.</p> <pre><code>java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.init(ResourceLoader.java:93) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.getStringValue(ResourceLoader.java:271) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.getString(ShadowResources.java:56) at android.content.res.Resources.getString(Resources.java) at org.xxx.mobile.android.teldir.app.TelephoneDirectoryTest.searchButtonLabelShouldBeGo(TelephoneDirectoryTest.java:22) [...] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.StringResourceLoader.getValue(StringResourceLoader.java:17) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.StringArrayResourceLoader.processNode(StringArrayResourceLoader.java:39) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.XpathResourceXmlLoader.processResourceXml(XpathResourceXmlLoader.java:27) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.DocumentLoader.loadResourceXmlFile(DocumentLoader.java:58) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.DocumentLoader.loadResourceXmlDir(DocumentLoader.java:52) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.DocumentLoader.loadResourceXmlDir(DocumentLoader.java:39) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.loadValueResourcesFromDir(ResourceLoader.java:142) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.loadValueResourcesFromDirs(ResourceLoader.java:136) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.loadValueResources(ResourceLoader.java:109) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.init(ResourceLoader.java:85) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.res.ResourceLoader.getStringValue(ResourceLoader.java:271) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.getString(ShadowResources.java:56) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.bytecode.ShadowWrangler.methodInvoked(ShadowWrangler.java:87) at com.xtremelabs.robolectric.bytecode.RobolectricInternals.methodInvoked(RobolectricInternals.java:110) at android.content.res.Resources.getString(Resources.java) [...] </code></pre> <p>The test follows.</p> <pre><code>import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals; import org.junit.Before; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import com.xtremelabs.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner; @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) public class TelephoneDirectoryTest { private TelephoneDirectory activity; @Before public void setUp() { activity = new TelephoneDirectory(); } @Test public void searchButtonLabelShouldBeGo() throws Exception { String goLabel = activity.getResources().getString(R.string.search); assertEquals("Go", goLabel); } } </code></pre> <p>It seems it can't find Android <code>./res</code> folder. I pointed the JUnit configuration to <code>${workspace_loc:teldir-android}</code> as the guide says. And this makes Eclipse to find the <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code>, avoiding other errors, imho.</p> <p>Trying to avoid this exception I also added <code>./res</code> folder as source folder of my Android app, cleaned and relaunched all, but the same exception raised.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
