Android Espresso：“没有找到测试”，“进程崩溃”

Question

When testing my Android app with Espresso, I noticed that running an AndroidTest configured with All in Module finds no tests, while running All in Package succeeds.

I created the following reproducible case:

• Use wizard to create new clean application with minSdk 8 and empty Activity
• Configure gradle with espresso dependencies etc. (see below)
• Create AndroidTest Run Configuration with option All in Module and one with All in Package
• Add class with tests (see below)
• Run with All in Package : Test passed
• Run with All in Module : No tests were found

Running with All in Module worked fine until a few days ago. The changes I recall having made are upgrading Android Studio to 1.4 and upgrading Android Support Library to 23.1.0 and Android Support Repository to 24.0.0.

Btw. also gradlew connectedCheck and gradlew createDebugAndroidTestCoverageReport fail now.

Does anyone have suggestions to solve this issue?

Switching from emulator based on API 10 to API 17 fixed the issue.

Although API 10 was running fine until last week, it has become unpredictable. Sometimes it runs, mostly it doesn't. Removing a single test method might make it work, and placing it back might keep it working (or not). Trying to run the test for the fifth time might make it work again...

UPDATE 2016-03-16 : Increasing the resources for the API 10 emulator made the test available for API 10 again...
