Android Espresso - Web browser

Issue

I have a question

I want to test whether after button click the web browser is beign launched using espresso. And the question is: is it even possible to test such thing? If so any ideas how would I do that?

Solution

Actually no. Espresso will allow you to click in the button and once the browser is fired up, the test will end. The alternative you have is having your class that fires the browser Intent mocked, so that you can test the remaining flow (if any).

HAve a look in this answer: Controlling when an automation test ends - Espresso, where I describe how you could achieve that.
