Android Espresso listView scroll to

Question

I have a list_view, which I want to test.

list_view item layout is RelativeLayout, adapter is ItemAdapter.

---

This code works fine (item contatining Daft Punk is visible):

@Test
public void listViewTest() {
    Espresso.onView(withText("Daft Punk")).perform(click());
}

Both of this variants fail:

(The scrolling starts, comes to the item and then fails, the error is at the very and of this question.)

@Test
public void listViewTest() {
    Espresso.onData(artistWithName("Imagine Dragons")).perform(scrollTo(), click());
}

@Test
public void listViewTest() {
    Espresso.onData(artistWithName("Imagine Dragons")).
        .inAdapterView(withId(R.id.list_view))
        .perform(scrollTo(), click());
}

artistWithName definition:

public static Matcher<Object> artistWithName(String expectedName) {
    Checks.checkNotNull(expectedName);
    return artistWithName(equalTo(expectedName));
}

public static Matcher<Object> artistWithName(final Matcher<String> itemMatcher) {
    Checks.checkNotNull(itemMatcher);

    return new BoundedMatcher<Object, ArtistItem>(ArtistItem.class) {
        @Override
        public void describeTo(org.hamcrest.Description description) {
            description.appendText("ArtistTime with name: ");
            itemMatcher.describeTo(description);
        }

        @Override
        protected boolean matchesSafely(ArtistItem artistItem) {
            return itemMatcher.matches(artistItem.getName());
        }
    };
}

Answer 1

onData() will scroll to the item for you, just remove scrollTo() and it should click just fine.

scrollTo() is used only for items that are inside the ScrollView combined with onView()
