Retrofit Test

This is a project demonstrates how to write unit test for your endpoint. For this demo, we will use TMDB API to fetch data.

Description

This project uses the Gradle build system and the Android gradle plugin support for unit testing. You can either benefit from IDEs integration such as Android studio or run the tests on the command line. Unit tests run on a local JVM on your development machine. The Android Gradle plugin will compile your app's source code and execute it using gradle test task.

For more information see Android's Documentation

Setup the project in Android studio and run tests.

1. Download the project code, preferably using git clone.
2. In Android Studio, select File | Open... and point to the ./build.gradle file.
3. Make sure you select "Unit Tests" as the test artifact in the "Build Variants" panel in Android Studio.
4. Check out the relevant code:
   • Unit Tests are in src/test/java
5. Create a test configuration with the JUnit4 runner: org.junit.runners.JUnit4
   • Open Run menu | Edit Configurations
   • Add a new JUnit configuration
   • Choose module app
   • Select the class to run by using the ... button
6. Run the newly created configuration

The unit test will be ran automatically.

Use Gradle on the command line.

After downloading the projects code using git clone you'll be able to run the unit tests using the command line:

./gradlew test

If all the unit tests have been successful you will get a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message.

See the report.

A report in HTML format is generated in app/build/reports/tests

###TMDB API Key Setup For the app to make requests, you require a TMDB API key.

If you don’t already have an account, you will need to create one in order to request an API Key.

Once you have it, open gradle.properties file and paste your API key in TMDB_API_KEY variable.
