Robolectric - how to disable a unit test?

Question

I have a robolectric unit test that is work in progress. I want to disable it temporarily pending implementation, but I don't want to comment out the entire test.

How can a robolectric unit test be temporarily disabled without actually removing the test?

Answer 1

The JUnit @Ignore attribute can be used to temporarily disable a unit test:

@RunWith(MyRobolectricGradleTestRunner.class)
public class TestAbc123 extends MyTestBase
{
    @Ignore   // This attribute may be removed once the test is ready
    @Test
    public void TestAbc123Scenerio1()
    {

Ignored tests are shown as an amber disc with horizontal bars:

Answer 2

To ignore a Unit test, annotate it with @Ignore.

You can add an optional comment to record why the test is being ignored:

@Ignore("Not ready yet")
@Test
public void testToIgnore()
{
    // ...
}
