Summary

  • The managed-device task passes when the instrumentation crashes before the first test. The test engine fails only tests that started.

  • A new step, "Check instrumented test count", compares the executed tests with an expected count M. It reads M from the compiled app test APK.

  • Counting @Test in source text kept missing language cases. The compiled APK holds every test method the runner can execute.

  • The step unzips classes*.dex from app/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/app-debug-androidTest.apk. It keeps only the dex files that reference Lorg/junit/Test;. dexdump -a from the highest build-tools version counts their VISIBILITY_RUNTIME Lorg/junit/Test; method annotations.

  • The step fails in five cases:

    • No TEST-*.xml report exists.
    • The report lists a failure or error.
    • The managed device executes 0 tests.
    • The test APK yields M = 0.
    • The managed device executes fewer than M tests.

    A newer test engine reports a pre-test crash as one synthetic failure. The failure check catches that case.

Verification

  • A local dry-run runs the committed step against the real app report and test APK. It counts M = 1 and passes.

Notes

  • Tests that never start, or that the runner skips, still count toward M. If such a test lands, reduce expected in the step by that number. None exist today.

…than expected

AGP's android-test-engine fails only tests that started. When the app
process crashes before the first test, the managed-device task writes a
report with tests="0" failures="0" and passes, and neither AGP nor Gradle
offers a fail-on-zero-tests option. A new step after the GMD run sums the
<testsuites tests> counts of the managed-device TEST-*.xml reports and
fails when that sum is 0, below the module's @test count, or when no
report exists. The gmd-diagnostics upload already includes those reports.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The instrumented-tests job validates managed-device reports for executed tests, failures, and errors. It compares the executed count with JUnit @Test annotations found in the compiled test APK’s DEX files.

Changes

Instrumented Test Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate instrumented test reports and APK test counts
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The job checks report counts and fails on reported failures or errors, zero executed tests, or missing counts. It locates dexdump, extracts DEX files from the test APK, and counts runtime-visible JUnit @Test annotations. It also fails if required tooling, the APK, DEX files, or test methods are unavailable, or if the nonzero executed count is below the expected count.

Review details

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/ci.yml: The report check now parses the <testsuites> header and accumulates executed, failed, and errored counts; it fails on missing test or failure counts, any reported failures or errors, or zero executed tests. Instead of counting source annotations, it locates the newest available dexdump, extracts DEX files from the compiled test APK, and counts runtime-visible JUnit @Test annotations. Missing tooling, APK, DEX files, or test methods fail the job; a nonzero executed count below the expected APK count also fails.

A rabbit checks each test report line
And counts the APK’s tests in time
If errors or failures appear
The job will mark the result clear
Then hops away beneath the moon
While passing tests complete their tune
And leaves the checks to run again

[High risk] Adds a test-count validation step to the CI pipeline.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the issues established in this review.

Summary

The CI workflow now checks managed-device reports for zero or failed tests and compares the executed count with JUnit test annotations counted from the compiled test APK.

The expected count matched every @test preceded by whitespace, including
commented-out annotations and KDoc mentions. Those raise the count
without adding a runnable test, so a complete managed-device run fails
the check. The count also missed @test after a semicolon or parenthesis.

Perl now reads each androidTest source file whole and removes string
literals, block comments and line comments. It then counts @test and
@org.junit.Test tokens anywhere in the remaining code. Removing strings
first keeps a literal such as "image/*" from opening a block comment.

Kotlin block comments nest, but the lazy /\*.*?\*/ pattern ends a comment
at the first */. In /* /** doc */ @test fun x() */ the @test survives,
raises the expected count and fails a complete managed-device run.

The block-comment alternative is now the recursive group
(/\*(?:(?1)|.)*?\*/), so an inner comment closes before the outer one.
It stays capture group 1 so (?1) recurses into it; the string
alternative stays non-capturing.

Kotlin raw strings and Java text blocks span lines, but the string
alternative only matches a "..." literal within one line. The content of
a """ literal therefore stays in the scanned code. An @test inside it
raises the expected count and fails a complete managed-device run. A */*
inside it opens a fake block comment that hides real @test annotations.

A """ alternative now runs before the ordinary string alternative, so
""" is never read as "" plus ". The literal ends at the first run of
three or more quotes and takes the whole run, as Kotlin does. A backslash
stays plain text because Kotlin raw strings have no escapes. The
block-comment group stays capture group 1, so (?1) still recurses into it.

The old count regex-parsed src/androidTest. That needs a Kotlin/Java
lexer for comments and string literals, and still misses import aliases
and other source dirs. The compiled test APK holds exactly the test
methods the runner can execute. The step now counts the method
annotations `VISIBILITY_RUNTIME Lorg/junit/Test;` in `dexdump -a` output,
using the newest dexdump in $ANDROID_HOME/build-tools. It unzips
classes*.dex first because Windows builds of dexdump cannot open an APK.

A dex file with @org.junit.Test methods holds Lorg/junit/Test; in its
own string table. A grep -F on the raw dex drops all other files before
dexdump parses them. On common-utils' test APK, this cuts dexdump from
about 29 s to 6 s with unchanged counts.

An expected count of 0 silently disables the N < M check. A dexdump
output change or a move off JUnit4 yields 0, so the step fails when the
APK holds no org.junit.Test method.

The report check also sums failures and errors from <testsuites>.
Android test engine 1.0.5 records a crash before the first test as one
synthetic failed test. AGP can keep the managed-device task green, so a
tests="1" failures="1" report can pass the count check. These report
checks run before the APK extraction, so a missing APK or a dexdump
error cannot hide them.
