Android (kotlin) testing: 'posix:permissions' not supported as initial attribute

Question

Trying to run test for android app (on WinOs), getting the error bellow. Is it possible that I can't run some android tests if I don't use Mac/Linux? I read that possix is not available on WinOs.

I am not using possix directly. Testing library is using it.

Answer 1

You seem to have hit an known - and fixed - issue in guava's com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir, which was released with guava 32.0.1. So I'd assume tweaking your dependencies to force guava to 32.0.1 (or later) should fix this.
