Android Studio 2.2 preview Record Espresso Test option not available

Question

I have seen Google Keynote 2016. This is link to Video

So I was excited about Espresso recorder.

I am not able to see the Record Espresso Test option in run menu.

I am using Android studio 2.2 preview 1.

Below Screen shot is from video.

Answer 1

This question seems to be a duplicate of this question: Espresso test recording feature in Android Studio 2.2

Short answer: It seems that this feature was, possibly unintentionally, left out of this release.

Edit: Great news, preview 3 of Android Studio 2.2 contains the Automatic Espresso test. See Android Studio Project site .

Answer 2

Update 2

Android Studio 2.2 Preview 3 is out now

This build contains New features and a number of fixes for various critical bugs found in preview 2:

Espresso Test Recorder Demo of the Espresso Test Recorder shown at IO is now included in Preview 3

See updated change log

Update 1

Android Studio 2.2 Preview 2 is out now

Unfortunately the Espresso Test Recorder is still not in this build; we're addressing a few more issues and then hope to have it ready in the next build!

They haven't provided the Espresso Test recorder with Android Studio 2.2 Preview 1

See this link for more information

It looks like this was intentionally left out and won't be included until preview 2:

Answer 3

Espresso test recorder is finally out in Android Studio 2.2 Preview 3 , which is available as of now!

It does work quite decently, with the exception that you still can't run and test only a specific activity, but it rather starts from your main activity every time. But surely a very good starting point!
