android espresso testing : empty test suite. no tests were found

Question

I am running intelliJ idea 14.0.2 android development environment on windows and am trying to use the espresso UI testing framework to test my app.However when I press run for an androidTest configuration , I encounters the following :

Testing started at 12:09 PM ...
Waiting for device.

Success

Running tests
Test running startedFinish
Empty test suite.

this is the screenshot :

my test class looks like this :

package com.cyc115.VectorCalculator.test;

import android.support.test.espresso.assertion.ViewAssertions;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.test.suitebuilder.annotation.LargeTest;
import android.test.suitebuilder.annotation.SmallTest;
import com.cyc115.VectorCalculator.MyActivity;

import static android.support.test.espresso.Espresso.onView;
import static android.support.test.espresso.matcher.ViewMatchers.isDisplayed;
import static android.support.test.espresso.matcher.ViewMatchers.withText;

@LargeTest
public class MyActivityTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<MyActivity> {

    public MyActivityTest(){
        super (MyActivity.class);
    }

    @Override
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
        getActivity();
        fail();
    }
    @SmallTest
    public void testListGoesOverTheFold() {
        onView(withText("Hello world")).check(ViewAssertions.matches(isDisplayed()));
    }
}

here's my project structure just in case :

my test configuration :

and my androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.cyc115.VectorCalculator"

    <instrumentation

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Answer 1

I have found an workaround: use android-studio based on the community edition of intelliji idea instead of the premium version of intelliji idea. Create a new project and set up espresso from there. More detail refer to the gradle files in the sample project:

Hope it helps.
