Run Android Junit

[StanKocken]

Using this project as a base to understand how to run JUnit Android test within the shared Library: https://github.com/Kotlin/kmm-sample/blob/master/shared/src/androidTest/kotlin/com/jetbrains/kmm/shared/androidTest.kt

Cross-posting from Android Studio issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/191287536
I'm not sure if it's a code issue (so a modification on this code base), or a IDE issue.

Goal: run with JUnit the tests with the Android configuration on the shared module.

Issue: the junit test folder is not recognized as such with Android, it seems to be override by an Android Connected test.

Symptoms:

1- "No Task Available"

by right-click on the folder, clicking on "Run test", it creates a configuration that does not work.

The issue seems to be that Android Studio doesn't recognised "kotlin" as a valid language for testing. By renaming the folder "kotlin" within the test to "java", it is now possible to run it.

2- Test run on device, not on JUnit

• when started the test, it will try to run it by starting the emulator. It should instead run it on the JVM like any other android JUnit test. It's because the "Run/Debug configuration" is using a "Android Instrumented Tests" instead of "JUnit" configuration.
  By trying to manually setup a JUnit configuration, the module Android Test does not appear.

By running the CLI "./gradlew :shared:tasks", I am missing some configurations (it should contains "androidTest" - Executes unit tests for target Android.):

As answered within the Android bug tracker, it seems to be a name conflict: AndroidTest is reserved for Instrumented Test by the Android plugin and cannot be used for Unit Test as all the other Platforms.
