The fix was in the master but not released yet. a43bee2f5cea9dde0ad37e257c36b87cb3a3b7b7

@d4vidi Can you release new version to fix android RN 0.63.x?

[d4vidi]

Released in 17.2.1, please close the issue if it works for you!

[guhungry]

Version 17.2.1 works for me. https://github.com/guhungry/react-native-photo-manipulator/blob/master/example/package.json https://travis-ci.com/github/guhungry/react-native-photo-manipulator/jobs/362560032

[ReshmiCode]

I still see the same error in the newer version. I have a similar issue on iOS.

[ganeshpadhayay]

@guhungry @d4vidi Not working, same behaviour, can you please check out my project and debug the issue if it is not a big ask, here is the repo link(https://github.com/ganeshpadhayay/react-native-clean-testing-architecture), it is a basic sample app, should not take more than 2 minutes to figure out

[ReshmiCode]

Here are my own log files if they help

When I test with --configuration android.emu.release

1. With proguard enabled - Error with "Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "kotlin.jvm.functions.Function1""
   
2. With proguard disabled - Can run test
   

So it's a different problem that I fix but it prove that my fix works in React Native 0.63.x android.
I think this error comes from the fact that recommend detox setup use aar library instead of compile from source. So it need properly proguard rules for aar library.

[d4vidi]

Excellent input. Please have a look at #1994

[ganeshpadhayay]

@guhungry @d4vidi Thank you so much for taking out time to debug my project. I was testing my debug configuration(detox test --configuration android.emu.debug) this whole time so did not try the release build. For the release build, I shall try your solution. Can you check the issue with the debug build as it will not have any proguard mapping?

Debug build also works for me. Did you start packager before you run "detox test"?

[ganeshpadhayay]

@guhungry I am new to react native so I don't understand what do you mean by start packager before running "detox test". I normally follow these set of instructions,

1. npx react-native start
2. run the app in the emulator from android studio ---->app runs perfectly fine
3. detox build -c android.emu.debug -----> builds successfully
4. detox test -c android.emu-debug ----->app opens but then it gets stuck on RUNS e2e/firstTest.e2e.js, nothing happens after this, test neither passes nor fails, see sceenshot
   

And, when I run my app from Android studio after sometime, I get the following error,

Can you note down your exact steps that you used to run the tests on my project? Thanks.

[tdekoning]

I'm also encountering this issue, I've added console.logs in our beforeAll function (which executes await detox.init(config)) and it doesn't log the console.log after that detox.init call.

This only happens on Android, the iOS tests run just fine

After several minutes, this shows up in the logs.

[guhungry]

@ganeshpadhayay I suspect that you run test with old Detox 17.2.0. package-lock.json#L3653-L3655
Can you run command below to check actual version you are using?

cat package-lock.json | grep detox

You should see something like this

    "detox": {
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/detox/-/detox-16.2.1.tgz",

If it is not 17.2.1 or above please run commands below

rm package-lock.json
rm -rf node_modules/
npm install
npm start -- --reset-cache
detox build -c android.emu.debug
detox test -c android.emu-debug

[ganeshpadhayay]

@guhungry Yes, your suspicion was right, I was using old detox 17.2.0. The set of commands mentioned by you worked in resolving this. Closing this.

[d4vidi]

To whom it may concern, I expect for the official support for RN 0.63 to be released in 17.3.3. Stay tuned.

[a-eid]

@d4vidi I have the same issue

on ^17.4.5 release

I'm wondering if this has to do with enabling hermes engine or turbo modules for react-native-reaniamted@2alpha ?

@a-eid have the same issue with hermes and proguard disabled
RN 0.63.2
Detox 17.5.3
And this command doesn't generate app-release-androidTest.apk:
cd android ; ./gradlew assembleRelease assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=release ; cd -

UPDATE: I actually missed this part of doc https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/master/docs/Introduction.Android.md
After setting things up everything works!
