How can I get a string resource in an instrumented test without using createAndroidComposeRule() ?
I do not want or need to load my app’s main activity. That would load all of my application content, and this is a Unit Test for a single composable. But I need to get a string resource to test with.

For now I’m doing this. It seems to work. 🤷

val context = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext<Application>()
val contentDescription = context.getString(R.string.my_button_description)
composeRule.onNodeWithContentDescription(contentDescription).assertIsDisplayed()

Yeah, that one. Or get the context from setContent using a var

You can use createAndroidComposeRule<ComponentActivity>(). This is what createComposeRule() actually uses internally.
