Configure gradle.properties android.enableAapt=false on travis yml file

Question

In my android's gradle.properties I have the following:

android.enableAapt2=false

My gradle.properties is located in my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties in my local machine.

I am wondering how I can add android.enableAapt=false to my yml file.

I tried to add it under global but that didn't work there was no errors but in robolectric it needs to be set if you are using gradle:3.0.0-beta3.

language: android

jdk: oraclejdk8

env:
  global:
    - ANDROID_TARGET=android-25
    - ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a
    - android.enableAapt2=false

android:
  components:
  - tools
  - platform-tools
  - build-tools-25.0.3
  - android-25
  - extra-android-m2repository
  - sys-img-${ANDROID_ABI}-${ANDROID_TARGET}


licenses:
  - android-sdk-license-.+
  - '.+'

script:
    - ./gradlew --daemon build jacocoTestReport --info

after_success:
    - bash <(curl -s https://codecov.io/bash)

Below is the configuration file that is on travis-ci

{
  "language": "android",
  "jdk": "oraclejdk8",
  "android": {
    "components": [
      "tools",
      "platform-tools",
      "build-tools-25.0.3",
      "android-25",
      "extra-android-m2repository",
      "sys-img-${ANDROID_ABI}-${ANDROID_TARGET}"
    ]
  },
  "licenses": [
    "android-sdk-license-.+",
    ".+"
  ],
  "script": [
    "./gradlew --daemon build jacocoTestReport --info"
  ],
  "after_success": [
    "bash <(curl -s https://codecov.io/bash)"
  ],
  "global_env": "ANDROID_TARGET=android-25 ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a android.enableAapt2=false",
  "group": "stable",
  "dist": "precise",
  "os": "linux"
}

Class under test:

public class RecipeListViewHolderTest extends BaseRobolectricTestRunner {
    @Inject Map<Integer, RecipeListViewHolderFactory> viewHolderFactories;
    @Inject @LayoutRes int recipeItem; /* This is injected return R.layout.recipe_item; */

    private RecipeListViewHolder recipeListViewHolder;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        getTestComponent().inject(RecipeListViewHolderTest.this);
        final Context context = ShadowApplication.getInstance().getApplicationContext();

        final View view = View.inflate(
                context,
                recipeItem,
                new LinearLayout(context));

        recipeListViewHolder = viewHolderFactories.get(Constants.RECIPE_LIST).create(view);
        assertThat(recipeListViewHolder, is(notNullValue()));
    }

    private Recipe createRecipeData() {
        Recipe recipe = new Recipe();
        recipe.setName("Test Brownies");
        recipe.setServings(10);

        return recipe;
    }

    @Test
    public void testRecipeDataIsPopulated() {
        recipeListViewHolder.populateDate(createRecipeData());

        assertThat(recipeListViewHolder.tvQuantity.getText().toString(), is("Quantity: 10"));
        assertThat(recipeListViewHolder.tvRecipeName.getText().toString(), is("Test Brownies"));
    }
}

Robolectric:

@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class,
        sdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP,
        packageName = "me.androidbox.busbybaking",
        application = BusbyBakingApplication.class)
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public abstract class BaseRobolectricTestRunner {

    protected TestBusbyComponent getTestComponent() {
        return DaggerTestBusbyComponent.builder()
                .mockRecipeListModule(new MockRecipeListModule())
                .mockRecipeSchedulersModule(new MockRecipeSchedulersModule())
                .build();
    }
}

The travis-ci error log:

me.androidbox.busbybaking.recipieslist.RecipeListViewHolderTest > testRecipeDataIsPopulated FAILED
    android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: me.androidbox.busbybaking:layout/recipe_item
        at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager.loadXmlResourceParser(ShadowAssetManager.java:391)
        at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowResources.loadXmlResourceParser(ShadowResources.java:211)
        at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java)
        at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:1049)
        at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:412)
        at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:365)

        at me.androidbox.busbybaking.recipieslist.RecipeListViewHolderTest.setup(RecipeListViewHolderTest.java:41)

I think that the travis-ci cannot find where the res folder is as the layout/recipe_item cannot be found:

 android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: me.androidbox.busbybaking:layout/recipe_item

I think the problem is that you are disabling AAPT2 in global properties file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties instead of project properties file /yourproject/gradle.properties.
