Screenshot errors with Espresso

Question & Answer
1

Hello! I’m using Espresso for automated tests in Android, using the UiDevice takeScreenshot() method.

However, some of my screenshots work and some of them don’t. I’d say the majority of the screenshots I get only show the home screen.

Is there a reason for this? Is it possible that the tests are running so fast that the app is closing before the screenshot is taken?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi @blane-mdsol,

For reliable Espresso UI tests I’d suggest you to try our Virtual Device Testing feature, which runs the tests on Firebase Test Lab: https://blog.bitrise.io/introducing-solid-and-snappy-virtual-device-testing-for-android
