Answer 1

The problem seems to be with an Android Studio project which contains multiple modules. There are two solutions:

1. Run the Robolectric tests from the command line:

   gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest
   

2. Run the Robolectric tests from Android Studio:

   Open the Edit Run Configurations dialog. Under Defaults > Android JUnit, set the Working Directory to the folder which contains the module you are testing. You will probably also need to set this option for each existing run configuration. If you have tests in multiple modules, you will need to set the Working Directory for each run configuration to the appropriate module.
