The project in this directory is an Android Test project that enables those interested in further developing cordova-android to validate their changes.
The requirements in the top-level README still apply. In addition, ensure you have installed Gradle, and that it is (at the time of this writing) at least version 3.3 or newer.
You can run this test project from both the command line as well as from Android Studio.
Ensure you have the gradle wrapper script, gradlew, in this directory. If
you do not, you can run the following to generate it:
$ cd cordova-android/test
$ gradle :wrapper -b build.gradle
You can then see a list of all tasks available to run with gradlew tasks.
The two different kinds of tests one typically wants to run are unit tests and end-to-end, or instrumented, tests. Unit tests do not require any particular environment to run in, but the instrumented tests, however, require a connected Android device or emulator to run in.
To run the unit tests, run: gradlew test.
To run the instrumented tests, run: gradlew connectedAndroidTest.
Import this test/ directory into Android Studio, and hit the Play button.
