com.crashlytics.android.CrashlyticsMissingDependencyException during gradle 'testDebug' on android studio project

Question

I have an Android Studio project with the latest 1.15.2 crashlytics. It works well when i build and run on my device. However after crashlytic's setup my tests fails on gradle 'testDebug'.

Output is

....app.entity.ConfigurationTest > parseTest FAILED
    java.lang.RuntimeException
        Caused by: io.fabric.sdk.android.services.concurrency.UnmetDependencyException
            Caused by: com.crashlytics.android.CrashlyticsMissingDependencyException

It can be related to the call of an activity onCreate method during the test preparation. And in the onCreate i have a line

Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());

It looks like it works differently in test scope.

How can i solve this or skip the crashlytics at all during tests? F.e. here is a solution which works for one person but it either don't work for me or i am putting it in invalid gradle section.

debug {
    ext.enableCrashlytics = false
}

Workaround (works for me)

Temporarily i've fixed it for me using the following approach: I've created a class

public class CrashlyticsFacade {

    public static boolean enableCrashlytics = true;

    public static void initCrashlytics(Application application) {
        if (enableCrashlytics) {
            Fabric.with(application, new Crashlytics());
        }
    }

    public static void log(int priority, String tag, String msg) {
        if (enableCrashlytics) {
            Crashlytics.log(priority, tag, msg);
        }
    }

    public static void identify(String userIdentifier, String userName, String email) {
        if (enableCrashlytics) {
            if (userIdentifier != null) {
                Crashlytics.setUserIdentifier(userIdentifier);
            }
            if (userName != null) {
                Crashlytics.setUserName(userName);
            }
            if (email != null) {
                Crashlytics.setUserEmail(email);
            }
        }
    }

    public static void setEnableCrashlytics(boolean value) {
        CrashlyticsFacade.enableCrashlytics = value;
    }

And i am using it as a facade to Crashlytics in app code and tests. Additionally in test class i have to use

@BeforeClass
public static void beforeClass() {
    CrashlyticsFacade.setEnableCrashlytics(false);
}

since robolectric uses separate classloader for tests

Answer 1

I found another solution. If you are using robolectric in tests (If not, you can add it or use answer provided by @Rostislav) you can override your application class and skip Crashlytics initialization.

// MyApplication.java in src\main\java

public class MyAplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        setupCrashlytics();
    }

    protected void setupCrashlytics() {
        Fabric.with(this, new Crashlytics());
    }
}

=======

// TestMyAplication.java in src\test\java
/**
 * Robolectric uses class with name Test<ApplicationClassName> as test variant of the application
 * class. We use test application for API class injection so we need test version of this class.
 */
public class TestMyAplication extends MyAplication {

    @Override
    protected void setupCrashlytics() {
        // nothing
    }
}
