1 year ago To be specific, the dependencies in step 5 should be: androidTestImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.arch.core:core-testing:2.1.0'
Not just 'testImplementation'
URL of codelab https://developer.android.com/codelabs/android-basics-kotlin-test-viewmodel-and-livedata#4
In which task and step of the codelab can this issue be found? Task: Test ViewModels and LiveData Step 5: Add the necessary dependencies
Describe the problem Codelab is using the wrong dependency. The problem becomes apparent in step 6, when you try to add @get:Rule var instantTaskExecutorRule = InstantTaskExecutorRule()
Which generates the error, "Cannot resolve symbol InstantTaskExecutorRule"
Use androidTestImplementation to fix the problem.
Steps to reproduce? Follow the codelab. See the error in step 6.
