[android-developers] Re: JUnit on the emulator without instrumentation
Sorry for responding to this thread so late. Have you looked at the test running support that is in the latest 0.9.X ADT Plugin For Eclipse? You should be able to invoke a "Debug As > Android JUnit Test" which will run instrumentation tests and automatically connect the Eclipse debugger.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit on the emulator without instrumentation
Thanks for the response. I am aware of the instrumentation mechanism to run tests, however I have been unable to determine how to use it in conjunction with the debugger in eclipse, thus it is essentially useless to me.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit on the emulator without instrumentation
It's actually quite useful and doable to write "pure" unit tests within the InstrumentationTestRunner framework. For a working example, please take a look at ApiDemos, in the tests/ directory, and look for classes that extend the "TestCase" class. Benefits of doing it this way: 1. Although you can restrict yourself to pure JUnit style tests if you want, you can also write a mix of tests, ranging from purely unit (extending TestCase and AndroidTestCase) to almost totally functional (e.g. extending ActivityInstrumentationTestCase) and group them together as a test suite. 2. Although it doesn't work in the published SDK, quite soon you will in fact be able to run these tests directly from Eclipse. In other words, because this is the supported mechanism, you'll benefit from upcoming improvements & tools. Hope this helps. --Andy On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 10:15 PM, gudujarlson wrote: > > I discovered that at least some of JUnit exists on the emulator. In > particular TestCase and Assert exist.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit on the emulator without instrumentation
I discovered that at least some of JUnit exists on the emulator. In particular TestCase and Assert exist. However, TestRunner does not appear to exist. I find it odd that only parts of JUnit are present. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: JUnit on the emulator without instrumentation
Assuming there is no easy way to make use of android.test without instrumentation, has anyone tried to do their own port of JUnit (or similar framework) to the android platform? On Windows Mobile I am using NUnitLite. Does JUnitLite exist? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
