Robolectric: NotFoundException: unknown resource 0 at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowAssetManager.getAndResolve (ShadowAssetManager.java:258)

Question

I met the error when test getView of an apdater. The tested code was calling View.setImageResource(0) during the test case to set an empty image when the exception happen.

I ran test robolectric-2.2-20130712.161723-17-jar-with-dependencies.jar with Eclipse. I tried the replace the ResouceLoader with ShadowResources.createFor(new ResourceLoader() {...}. But it doesnot work. My replaced ResouceLoader was not called.

Anybody know how to solve it?

Another similar problem in my roboletric unit test on my Apdater ContentDetailsAdapter is from statement mContext.getResources().getString(R.string.delete_hint_title). The mContext is created by Robolectric.getShadowApplication().getApplicationContext(). Is there something wrong with my config about Roboletric? I was able to call ProgressDialog.show(mContext, "", "") in my unit test. It seems the problem is always with resource. Here is the stack:

Answer 1

I had a similar error to your 2nd issue. My environment was set up according to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mjcg5gfDLE

The sample provided works on my Eclipse, but when I tried to link MyProjectTest to my own app, the second error you described appeared.

The video describes the solution at 6:00.

MyProjectTest -> Run As Configuration -> JUnit -> MyProjectTestConfiguration -> Arguments -> Click 'Other' radio button -> Workspace -> select

The take home is: if you run your robolectric tests for a different app, you must point the 'Working Direcotry' to it. Additionally, you need to link your test folder from MyProjectTest to a new test folder in .
