How do we test resources with Compose UI Testing?

I have a valid context with:
`InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().targetContext`

Then calling the resulting `context` with `getString(R.string.app_name)` returns:
Using `Method threw 'android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException' exception.`

It does this in my project along with the default compose template project in Android Studio.

It would be handy if we had resources to test since we can then test multiple languages with UI tests and produce screenshots for this to send to our QA team as part of a release build.

One project is using the latest alpha version, and the other is using the latest stable version.

Use `rule.activity.getString()`. If you are creating the rule using `createComposeRule()`, change it to `createAndroidComposeRule&lt;ComponentActivity&gt;()`.

Thanks Albert, I have tried that and it also throws the same error

It works for me and it's the "official" way: <https://youtu.be/kdwofTaEHrs?t=217>.
