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]

Unresolved reference: onNodeWithText

[Gabriel]

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]

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]

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

[Gabriel]

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]

onNodeWithText("No data available").assertIsDisplayed()

[Adam Powell]

Are you calling it on the ComposeTestRule?

[Gabriel]

@Adam Powell I was following https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/testing but I'll try calling it on the rule

[Adam Powell]

hmm. All of the usages I'm finding in the codebase call it on the rule. @nickbutcher fyi it looks like this page above is outdated ☝️

OK I've got it all running now thanks @Adam Powell I mean the test crashes the app somehow but it's running at least 😆

[Gabriel]

Progress is progress right? ;)

I have contributed with some examples for instrumentation tests for Compose in this repo, you can check them out
