Android Studio Mark Directory as Test Sources Root

Question

I've done something in build.gradle to remove the green highlighting of the androidTest.java package.

I don't know how to get it back.

IntelliJ has a "Mark directory as test sources root" option in the context menu but I can't find the equivalent in Android Studio.

Is there a way to define this folder so I can start testing? (If it means anything, the test java files all have an icon of a "J" with a red circle around it)

If it's not available in the right-click menu of the project view, then it should be available in the Project Settings. Have you looked there? – Laggard

Answer 1

You can click on the folder and type Cmd + Shift + a to enter the action search and then by typing Mark directory as you will get the menu.

Answer 2

For me, this option is no longer so easily available. To access it I need to double tap 'shift' and manually type "mark directory as. Then I can pick it from the list."

Actually this is easily available: it is offered in the context menu of folders (right click). – Insalubrious

Answer 3

For others in case somebody do not use gradle; maybe you can do something like this:

In Android Studio Koala 2023.3.2 Canary 2, if you right-click on the file, at the very bottom of the long menu there is "Mark Directory As".
