This repository is a sample app to reproduce an issue seen with Robolectric/Espresso tests.

The app is created from the "Basic Activity" template in Android Studio. It has a MainActivity, which has a menu with a Setting item. Tapping on this Settings item does nothing.

The repository has two tests. Both tests do the same thing:

• Launch MainActivity

• Open the overflow menu

• Attempt to select the "Settings" item from the menu.

• ExampleInstrumentedTest in the androidTest sourceSet and runs on a device or emulator.

• ExampleUnitTest is in the test sourceSet and runs using Robolectric.

The code for the two tests are identical.

Expected behavior: both tests pass Actual behavior:

• The androidTest test passes
• The test test fails, not finding the Settings item in the menu:

androidx.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException: No views in hierarchy found matching: (with id: example.com.robolectricespressomenuissue:id/title and with string from resource id: <2131623975> and is displayed on the screen to the user)
