HostTest

Added in 8.6.1

@Incubating
interface HostTest : TestComponent

Model for Host Test components that contains build-time properties. Host Tests run on a JVM on your build machine, as opposed to DeviceTest which run on an Android Device.

This object is accessible on subtypes of Variant that implement HasHostTests, via HasHostTests.hostTests. It is also part of Variant.nestedComponents.

The presence of this component in a variant is controlled by HostTestBuilder.enable which is accessible on subtypes of VariantBuilder that implement HasHostTestsBuilder

Summary

Public functions
`Unit`	`@Incubating configureTestTask(action: (Test) -> Unit)` Runs some action to configure the Variant's unit test `Test` task.

Public properties
`Boolean`	`codeCoverageEnabled` Whether test coverage is enabled for this host test.

Public functions

configureTestTask

Added in 8.6.1

@Incubating
fun configureTestTask(action: (Test) -> Unit): Unit

Runs some action to configure the Variant's unit test Test task.

The action will only run if the task is configured. In particular the [HasHostTestsBuilder.hostTestsHasHostTestsBuilder.UNIT_TEST_TYPE?.enable] must be set to true (it is true by default).

Example :

androidComponents {
    onVariants { variant ->
        variant.hostTests[HostTestsBuilder.UNIT_TEST_TYPE]?.configureTestTask { testTask ->
            testTask.beforeTest { descriptor ->
                println("Running test: " + descriptor)
            }
        }
    }
}

Parameters
`action: (Test) -> Unit`	to configure the `Test` task.

Public properties

codeCoverageEnabled

Added in 8.6.1

val codeCoverageEnabled: Boolean

Whether test coverage is enabled for this host test.

If enabled, this uses Jacoco to capture coverage and creates a report in the build directory.

You cannot change the value any longer, to change it, please use HostTestBuilder.enableCodeCoverage in the AndroidComponentsExtension.beforeVariants callback.
