java.lang.RuntimeException: Stub! in Robolectric

Hello Droid Friends,
                              Have you facing following error while running a test case using
Roboelectric and Junit-4.

Most of stub!  exceptions are because the tests are not annotated with the correct TestRunner. For example in my case I forgot to add:
@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)

After adding the above annotation the above issue will be fixed.

import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;
import static org.robolectric.Robolectric.shadowOf;

import org.junit.Assert;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.robolectric.Robolectric;
import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner;
import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;
import org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowActivity;

import android.content.Context;

import com.android.Places.MyPlaces;

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class MyPlacesTest {
 
 private MyPlaces activity;
 Context ctx;
 ShadowActivity shadowActivity;
 
 @Before
 public void setUp() throws Exception {
  activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MyPlaces.class)
                .create()
                .get();
  shadowActivity = shadowOf(activity);
  ctx = activity;
 }
 
 /**
   * @testdox: for activity instance test 
   * given: 
   * when:  app launch
   * then: checking the instance of activity
   */
  @Test
  @Config(reportSdk = 10)
  public void testActivityInstance() {
   assertNotNull(shadowActivity.getApplicationContext());
   Assert.assertEquals("Result",activity.getApplicationContext(),sh                       adowActivity.getApplicationContext());
  }

Hope this will help you during writing the test case for your android project.



Enjoy Coding... :)
