Running test with annotation @SmallTest didn't work for me

[FisherKK]

All my tests uses annotation @Test. I need to create subset of tests (I have like 400-500 tests in various packages and I don't want to copy them to new package) - so I decided to use @SmallTest annotation in order to run them with ./gradlew spoonSmall.

I use this dependency:

import android.support.test.filters.SmallTest;

And above my java class containing test I have:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)

What I did is:

1. I changed one of my tests with annotation @Test to @SmallTest
2. From terminal I have started tests with ./gradlew spoonSmall

What I expected: Spoon will run only one test.

What was result: Spoon didn't pick any test for me.

Total tests 0

Am I doing something wrong?

To be honest, I have not tried our size-specific tasks with a test runner from the support library (only with a default runner provided by the Android SDK). Probably, using a support library runner, you need to specify parameters differently. But it should still be possible with spoon. instrumentationArgs

So this is my Runner:

public class MyAppTestRunner extends AndroidJUnitRunner {

    @Override
    public Application newApplication(ClassLoader cl, String className, Context context)
            throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
        return super.newApplication(cl, MyAppTestApplication.class.getName(), context);
    }
}

And like I said I am using this annotation:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)

So according to documentation of AndroidJUnitRunner, which I am using, I have to add parameter like this:

Running a specific test size i.e. annotated with SmallTest or MediumTest or LargeTest: adb shell am instrument -w -e size [small|medium|large] com.android.foo/android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

Spoon by default uses this command:

03:51:04 I/RemoteAndroidTest: Running am instrument -w -r com.MyApp.debug1.test/com.MyApp.instrumentation.config.MyAppTestRunner on Nexus_5_API_23 [emulator-5554]

So what I am missing according to documentation is:

-e size small

After -r and before com.MyApp.debug1.test/com.MyApp.instrumentation.config.MyAppTestRunner.

So I did that:

spoon {
(...)
    instrumentationArgs = ["size=small"]
(...)
}

And after this my spoon run command looks like that:

03:54:37 I/RemoteAndroidTest: Running am instrument -w -r -e size small com.MyApp.debug1.test/com.MyApp.instrumentation.config.MyAppTestRunner

Yet:

Total tests 0

Which classes are you using then? Maybe I can make it work for myself.

Edit: maybe I am doing something wrong. More there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41446892/how-to-run-instrumentation-smalltests-from-terminal

./gradlew spoonSmall works. I probably got confused somewhere during implementation. After I gave it another look today everyhing worked fine.

Furthermore I have implemented my own annotation and I am passing it to:

instrumentationArgs=["annotation=<my.annotation.package.annotationName>"] and it works too so thanks for spoon :)

This can be closed I guess.
