Hi, when running espresso tests, is there a recommended/mandatory setup for choosing the emulator and android version combo? Any other setup I should be aware of? Thanks! |

Great question @masclot! There's no current required setup, so long as it's compatible with the app. FWIW I usually use one of the Pixel XL-esque form factors with API 28-30 when running tests, though anything is fair game. One benefit of not enforcing or even recommending a particular setup is that it helps to ensure we get more broad coverage when tests are run. However, this isn't very beginner-friendly, so this is perhaps something we could improve in our onboarding documentation (/cc @seanlip) by providing instructions for how to pick an API/form factor combination. |
