What’s the difference between test and unitTest source set trees? I thought test is for unit tests? 🙃

[Kirill Zhukov]

Is unitTest mostly an Android thing to allow running Android unit tests using Android SDK with stubbed APIs without emulator?

[Jeff Lockhart]

Yes, only the Android target has androidUnitTest and androidInsrumentedTest source sets. Other targets just have one test source set.

How about iosTest? This is for tests that compile and run in Mac hosts, yeah? I haven’t tried but would I be able to run the same tests on iOS simulator, or is there a different source set similar to Android?

[Jeff Lockhart]

iosTest runs on a simulator.

[Kirill Zhukov]

Hm maybe I just never noticed that 😃

[Jeff Lockhart]

It doesn't run the simulator device UI. So it's not as obvious.
