Hey folks I m trying to write some tests for compose but I m not sure what dependency to include for onNodeWithText to work I ve got `androidTestImplementation androidx ui ui test $COMPOSE VERSION ` but it won t import anything or even mark it as not being imported I m not sure what I m missing

Gabriel · Answer

`Unresolved reference onNodeWithText`

Gabriel · Answer

I add `import androidx compose ui test onNodeWithText` but not sure what package to depend on for it if I try `androidTestImplementation androidx compose ui ui test $COMPOSE VERSION ` then I get `Failed to resolve androidx compose ui ui test 1 0 0 alpha06`

Adam Powell · Answer

Looks like it hasn t been migrated to its new home yet <https maven google com web index html q=ui test androidx ui ui test 1 0 0 alpha06> is probably what you re looking for at the moment

Gabriel · Answer

Should it be `import androidx ui test onNodeWithText` If I import that then it gets removed when I optimise imports

Gabriel · Answer

OK if I disable auto optimise imports it gets further but now I get ```Unresolved reference None of the following candidates is applicable because of receiver type mismatch public fun ComposeTestRule onNodeWithText text String ignoreCase Boolean = useUnmergedTree Boolean = SemanticsNodeInteraction defined in androidx ui test```

Gabriel · Answer

```onNodeWithText No data available assertIsDisplayed ```

Adam Powell · Answer

Are you calling it on the `ComposeTestRule`

Gabriel · Answer

Adam Powell · Answer
