02/07/2022, 5:22 PMHm, and since that error message doesn’t offer to import it for you it seems like AS is actually not seeing it.

02/07/2022, 9:16 PM@hfhbd You can run composable tests in a unit test environment using robolectric. There’s definitely some limitations, but you can test a large portion of standard behavior, but what i’ve found is it doesn’t actually do any drawing. So testing things like a custom composable that draws to a canvas, or using .captureToBitmap() doesn’t actually work.
