TravisCI Android build fails only on CI not locally

Question

I have got a strange error and cannot find a solution:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugAndroidTestGroovy'.
> Unable to load class de.rheinfabrik.mvvm_example.activities.DetailsActivity due to missing dependency android/support/v4/view/LayoutInflaterFactory

But it´s impossible. This project works locally. Also the dependency is there.

Here my .travis.yml

language: android
jdk: oraclejdk8
env:
  matrix:
   - ANDROID_TARGET=android-22  ANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a
  global:
  - TERM=dumb

android:
  components:
    - build-tools-21.1.2
    - android-22
    - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-22
    - extra

# Emulator Management: Create, Start and Wait
before_script:
  - echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t $ANDROID_TARGET --abi $ANDROID_ABI
  - emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-audio -no-window &
  - android-wait-for-emulator
  - adb shell input keyevent 82 &

script: cd MVVM-Example && ./gradlew app:connectAndroidTest --stacktrace -PdisablePreDex

Anyone have an idea why the dependency LayoutInflaterFactory is missing?

You have major versioning issues. Target API 22, make sure your build tools are 22.0.1. Please make sure your dependencies are upgraded to 22.2.0, here: github.com/AHarazim/android-mvvm-example/blob/master/…. And you are missing - extra-android-m2repository from the .travis.yml. – Wieldy

@JaredBurrows I´ve updated to the latest build-tools but still doesn´t work. – Artemas

@JaredBurrows The builds are running under the devTravisCi-Branch... And if I write - extra then all extras will be updated including m2repository. – Artemas

You are just now commenting after all this time? You do not even have your .travis.yml file in your repo. – Wieldy

Sry, I was on holiday. FYI I have a .travis.yml file on the devTravisCi branch and not on the master branch. – Artemas

Answer 1

Try

- build-tools-22.0.1

http://developer.android.com/tools/revisions/build-tools.html

Build Tools, Revision 22.0.0 (March 2015) Added support for Android 5.1 (API level 22).

And I think that is connectedAndroidTest.

Update, try to get latest tools versions, Travis-ci reverted the last VM update, good luck, if this doesn't work, I don't know another possible reason:

language: android
    android:
      components:
        - platform-tool
        - tool
        - android-22
        - build-tools-22.0.1
        - extra-android-m2repository
        - extra-google-m2repository
        - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-22

Update2: I forked your project, tried my suggestions and it didn't work. But I followed a discussion about to add

retrolambda {
  jvmArgs '-noverify'
}

As you already did. And there was this variant, I didn't read it and rushed to the solution and works :)

script: 
  - cd MVVM-Example
  - ./gradlew prepareDebugDependencies
  - ./gradlew assembleDebug # you can run clean before assemble
  - ./gradlew app:connectedAndroidTest --info

I'm not familiar with this retrolambda stuff, please explain the solution for other if it works for you, I thought that it was a simple travis issue.

And I'm not sure if Android supports jdk8 groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adt-dev/kVku6XfiQx4 – Roe

The JDK should be fine, see github.com/robolectric/deckard-gradle/blob/master/.travis.yml – Wieldy

@Ardock The JDK works locally perfect. I have updated everything, but still fails :-( – Artemas

Nice that JDK8 is supported. I updated my response as a last try. If that doesn't work, try android-21, I don't know the reason. – Roe

@Ardock Awesome! Thanks your solution from Update2 works for me! – Artemas
