How to run single testcase with Monkeyrunner

Issue

According to official documentation function MonkeyDevice.instrument(className, args) is perfectly suitable for this task.

As I understand this should be done like this:

device.instrument('my.package.name/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner', {'class':'my.package.name.SingleTest'})

However it still launches all test-cases. Is it bug or my mistake?

Solution

It's a chimpchat bug. I've just uploaded a path that fixes the problem. Once applied, you will be able to run all the tests in a class by using the same syntax you are using.

If you want to give it a try before the patch is merged you can

1. download android source
2. cherry pick patch 37560
3. set the environment (build/envsetup.sh)
4. lunch
5. make chimpchat
6. make monkeyrunner
