Native Android: kotlin: Unresolved reference: Detox, config, DetoxConfig in DetoxTest.kt while building app.

[jstawow]

What happened?

When i try run app by using npx detox build -c android.emu.debug --stacktrace, I encounter problem with references:
Detox, config, DetoxConfig in DetoxTest.kt.

I have added following changes:

app/build.gradle.kts:

    const val detox = "com.wix:detox:+"
    const val appcompat = "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0"

What i noticed also that:
i have not those classes in External Libraries, Gradle:com.wix:detox:0.1.1@aar in com.wix.detox module, I have imported detox like this import com.wix.detox.Detox

Output:

npx detox build -c android.emu.debug --stacktrace
cd android ; ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug ; cd -

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

        maven("../node_modules/detox/Detox-android") //detox is configured in ../root so node_modules is under path like specified in maven()

This is likely the wrong path. Gradle would likely soft-fail over that.

In either case, try also applying that under an allprojects:

it is not like detox does not work with android native application ??

Oh geez. Thanks for pointing that out. You are perfectly right in that we don't properly support pure-native android and that I should stop working late nights 😅
