Android build tools 1.1.0, unit test folder?

android, android-build, android-gradle-plugin, build-tools, robolectric

Solution

I found the solution which is to switch between Test Artifacts in the left corner of the IDE. On this screen only "Android Instrumentation Tests" is available because I downgraded my android tools but with tools 1.1.0+ you should see different types of test to get the IDE recognize them as source folders.

Problem

I recently installed the latest tools from google to my android project: ``` buildscript { repositories { jcenter() mavenCentral() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0' } } allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } } apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "21.1.2" compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } defaultConfig { applicationId "com.xxx" minSdkVersion 10 targetSdkVersion 21 versionCode 200 versionName "2.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } signingConfigs { debug { ... } release { ... } } buildTypes { release { ... } debug { ... } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3' // ---- Tests with robolectric testCompile 'com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1' testCompile 'junit:junit:4.+' testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4' testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-all:2.0.2-beta' // ---- Tests with Espresso androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.0') { exclude module: 'hamcrest-core' } androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1' androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1' androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1' androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test:testing-support-lib:0.1') { exclude module: 'hamcrest-core' } androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.0' androidTestCompile('junit:junit-dep:4.10') { exclude module: 'hamcrest-core' } } ``` Where before that I used to use `com.github.jcandksolutions.gradle:android-unit-test:2.1.1` to run my robolectric tests in the jvm. As google says for their new build tools: "New source folders recognized as unit tests: src/test/java, src/testDebug/java, src/testMyFlavor/java etc." But as you can see below, my test folder isn't recognised as a source folder. It worked with `com.github.jcandksolutions.gradle:android-unit-test:2.1.1`, but no more with the new build tools: What I'm missing here? Thank you
