In Android, what is the difference between

testDebugUnitTest

and

testReleaseUnitTest

? Afaik you cannot run unit tests on a proguared release etc.?

the different variants create different source sets, each of which may have different implementations that need to be tested.

R8 handles dexing/shrinking later in the build chain so what you end up running in a testReleastUnitTest is .class files on the jvm just the same as debug. androidTest with a release variant might start to get weird, but certainly it can be done with some level of effort applied.

I see, so in case I have different tests in src/debug or /release? Which I dont so they default to main?

however, isnt /test on the same level as /main? where would I stick the /release folder there, seems like a level before that

src/main src/test src/androidTest is what I have

similar to how it would be src/debug, you would have a src/testDebug. the tests ran are the set of test and testDebug
