Tests failing on L with: This message cannot be recycled because it is still in use. #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When I run my espresso tests on L Preview I get this consistently:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: This message cannot be recycled because it is 
still in use.

Original issue reported on code.google.com by YogurtE...@gmail.com on 27 Jun 2014 at 9:20

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yep, receiving tons of this as well. This is the relevant code in 
UiControllerImpl.java:

        message.getTarget().dispatchMessage(message);
        message.recycle();

 In the new L developer preview's reference, Message.recycle()'s javadoc reads like this:

"You MUST NOT touch the Message after calling this function because it has 
effectively been freed. It is an error to recycle a message that is currently 
enqueued or that is in the process of being delivered to a Handler."

The question is now, _when_ to recycle messages at all and since the L preview 
is still closed source I also don't know how the Message itself knows if it is 
still in use.

Just removing  message.recycle(); seems to fix it... 

Not sure what else that might break, but it doesn't seem to cause problems for 
me. Presumably, it was there for a reason.

Will be fixed in the next release.

Stephan is working on it and planning to release a patch this week.

This is getting ridiculous. I experience a similar problem from time to time 
("message cannot be recycled") even on an KitKat emulator. Doing a clean build, 
killing the app and / or restarting the emulator do not help in such a case - 
for whatever reason.

C'mon guys, is everybody at Google's Android teams busy working at the Android 
L transition for their respective apps or what is the matter?

Long week :) Would love to have working tests again!

I think this issue can be closed because it does not occurs on lollipop

I just saw it on Lollipop yesterday.

Same problem : automation with espresso works on my Tab3 device, not with the 
emulator although Preconditions & VAccelerations seem ok.

Hello team - any ETA on the fix for this?

seems to be still broken!

+1 here.  Can we get some word from the team on this?  In particular it would 
be awesome to confirm that you guys are seeing it as well, and also to get a 
read on the viability of the "remove the message.recycle() call" as a 
workaround while we wait for something to drop.  Thanks!

"remove the message.recycle() call" is a viable work-around.

@YogurtE... - if you've been using this fix since your message on July 1 and 
all is well, that's good enough for me :) Thanks for responding!

Is a new version with this fix available?

Thanks.

I'd like to apply the fix to use espresso with lollipop but I can't seem to 
build the android-test-kit with maven, I have installed maven 3.1.1 but it 
complains:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project espresso-tests: Could not resolve 
dependencies for project 
com.google.android.apps.common.testing:espresso-tests:apk:1.1: The following

#21, you might want to apply your fix to Jake Wharton's 
https://github.com/JakeWharton/double-espresso and see if you can build / use 
that instead.

Jake put a big fat warning that he won't accept feature / bugfix pull requests, 
but in case you just want to get it running, you might as well start out with a 
private clone.

For what it's worth, as a workaround, I've added a fix and uploaded the 
artifact. I've also integrated fixes from Thomas Guerin. In total, this fixes 
#66, #76, #85 and this one.
