UI Integration Testing - Android Instrumentation ref now in android app

Question

Hello Everyone/Anyone,

While I am still finding my way around Android development, I have taken up the Now in Android Multi Module App as a reference point to implement a conceptual app. My current struggle lies in implementing the android instrumented test for my compose component(s).

Below are images of my [within the context of the issue here]

Issue:

When I attempt to build/compile the project, I get the hilt/dagger exceptions:

ContactUIComponentsTest_HiltComponents.java:151: error: [Dagger/MissingBinding] CerpsysAddressRepository cannot be provided without an @Provides-annotated method.
  public abstract static class SingletonC implements FragmentGetContextFix.FragmentGetContextFixEntryPoint,
                         ^
  
  Missing binding usage:
      CerpsysAddressRepository is injected at
          CerpsysAddressRegistrationUseCase(cerpsysAddressRepository)
      CerpsysAddressRegistrationUseCase is injected at
          CerpsysAddressViewModel(�, addressRegistrationUseCase, �)
      CerpsysAddressViewModel is injected at
          CerpsysAddressViewModel_HiltModules.BindsModule.binds(arg0)
      @dagger.hilt.android.internal.lifecycle.HiltViewModelMap java.util.Map<java.lang.String,javax.inject.Provider<androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel>> is requested at
          dagger.hilt.android.internal.lifecycle.HiltViewModelFactory.ViewModelFactoriesEntryPoint.getHiltViewModelMap() [dagger.hilt.android.internal.testing.root.ContactUIComponentsTest_HiltComponents.SingletonC ? dagger.hilt.android.internal.testing.root.ContactUIComponentsTest_HiltComponents.ActivityRetainedC ? dagger.hilt.android.internal.testing.root.ContactUIComponentsTest_HiltComponents.ViewModelC]
  It is also requested at:
      CerpsysAddressFuzzySearchUseCase(cerpsysAddressRepository)
      FindCerpsysAddressByInternalUUIDUseCase(cerpsysAddressRepository)

Note: when I remove all the test bindings classes e.g. TestDataModule.kt, my app runs fine.

From my implementation, I have initially used in my TestDataModule.kt

@Binds
@Singleton
abstract fun bindsCerpsysAddressRepository(
    cerpsysAddressRepository: DefaultCerpsysAddressRepository
): CerpsysAddressRepository

and changed to

@Provides
@Singleton
fun bindsCerpsysAddressRepository(
    db:EndviscrmuxDatabase,
    networkDataSource: EndviscrmNetworkDataSource,
    cerpsysAddressDao: CerpsysAddressResourceDao,
    @CerpsysDispatcher(EndviscrmDispatchers.IO) ioDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher,
): CerpsysAddressRepository {

    return DefaultCerpsysAddressRepository(cerpsysAddressDao,networkDataSource,ioDispatcher)
}

but the compile time error persists.

Any guidance will be appreciated as I'm kind of stuck now.
