Hello everyone, This is my 1st time with kotlin multiplatform.
I’m trying to write and run unit tests for the android target.
However I’d like those unit tests to be jvm only. For example, everytime, I try to run my tests, I have an emulator that is started. I’d like to avoid that and run them only in jvm mode.

Is it possible?

yes. point your Android test source set at your KMM androidTest source set, rather than androidTest -> androidTest

@Kris Wong That’s great. Im not sure how to do that though.
I tried to set
sourceSets["test"].setRoot("src/androidTest/java")
in my android block configuration but didnt work. So I guess I’m doing something wrong.

I also tried the following but didnt work either
sourceSets["test"].java.srcDir(file("src/androidTest/java"))

Thank you. I’m looking at it 🙂

Ok I followed the guide but it still launches an emulator. I must be missing something.
Here is android block

android {
    compileSdkVersion(30)

    sourceSets {
        getByName("main") {
            manifest.srcFile("src/androidMain/AndroidManifest.xml")
        }
        
        getByName("test") {
            java.srcDirs("src/androidTest/java")
            res.srcDirs("src/androidTest/res")
        }
    }
    testOptions.unitTests.isIncludeAndroidResources = true

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion(24)
        targetSdkVersion(30)
    }


    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

It ended up working at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for your help 🙂
