Running Instrumented Tests With Androidjunit4

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
lang:java
Use this skill to stand up an Android instrumentation test source set with the canonical `AndroidJUnit4` runner, the correct `AndroidJUnitRunner` Gradle wiring, and supporting infrastructure (Test Orchestrator, runtime permission grants, size annotations, SDK suppression, hermetic animation defaults). Covers `androidx.test:core:1.7.0` / `:runner:1.7.0` / `:rules:1.7.0` / `androidx.test.ext:junit:1.3.0` coordinates, `androidx.test.platform.app.InstrumentationRegistry`, and the `androidTestUtil` configuration trap for `androidx.test:orchestrator`. Use when the user reports `Test runner not found`, `AndroidJUnit4 deprecated`, `InstrumentationRegistry deprecated`, asks "why is my orchestrator not running", "how do I pass `-e` args to the test", "how do I grant a runtime permission in a test", or "instrumented test won't compile".

About this skill (catalog notes)

Running Instrumented Tests With Androidjunit4 includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section); a dedicated installation section; 16 code blocks for direct copy-paste. At roughly 1,803 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.

From the source SKILL.md

Instrumentation tests fail before any assertion runs when the runner stack is misconfigured: a deprecated AndroidJUnit4 import, the orchestrator on androidTestImplementation instead of androidTestUtil, the deprecated androidx.test.InstrumentationRegistry instead of androidx.test.platform.app.InstrumentationRegistry. This skill encodes the exact dependency matrix, the runner Gradle config, and the supporting annotations and rules.

What this skill does

Running Instrumented Tests With Androidjunit4 is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/running-instrumented-tests-with-androidjunit4/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user reports `Test runner not found`, `AndroidJUnit4 deprecated`, `InstrumentationRegistry deprecated`, asks "why is my orchestrator not running", "how do I pass `-e` args to the test", "how do I grant a runtime permission in a test", or "instrumented test won't compile".

Who uses this skill

The Running Instrumented Tests With Androidjunit4 Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 93,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
