Force Espresso not to wait for progress

Question

By default espresso waits for the progress bar from my activity to finish loading before executing the next instructions.

I would like to force Espresso not to wait for it and execute the rest of instructions as the progress dialog is loading.

Any hits as to where I should look for that?

After some investigations I assume I must make use of the IdlingResource class.

Answer 1

Check this answer:

The default timeout that Espresso will wait for all registered resources to become idle is one minute.

You can change this using the IdlingPolicies class to set an explicit timeout:

IdlingPolicies.setIdlingResourceTimeout(1, TimeUnit.HOURS);

From: Espresso how to wait for some time(1 hour)?

Instead of 1 hour try to set for example 1 second (I don't know if 0 is allowed).

You can also create a custom Idling Resource like it is explained here: Espresso: Thread.sleep( );

Hope it help
