I’m trying to test an Android app following the instructions here:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/testing-android-applications.html
and here
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/testing/index.html
When I run the test it says “Instantiating Tests” for a while, then it says “Unable to attach test reporter to test framework or test framework quit unexpectedly.”
The emulator starts OK, but nothing shows up on it’s screen.
The console says:
Testing started at 11:41 AM ...
Waiting for device.
C:\Android\tools\emulator.exe -avd GoogleAPI_2_3_3 -netspeed full -netdelay none
Device connected: emulator-5554
Device is online: emulator-5554

Logcat doesn’t seem to have anything helpful. In particular it does not show the Log.d messages I put in my test.
Interestingly enough someone else asked about this problem on the Intellij developer community forum:
http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5363961#5363961
But the question has not been answered for several months.
Anyone have any ideas for diagnosing the problem?
It’s a known issue, it happens if you have no test methods. Define at least one test method to fix it.
