[Espresso]Test instrumentation process crashed. After click action app should restarted but with espresso is crashed

Hi all Steps to reproduce : 1-I just create a simple test case (Just click on the button) 2-After clicking on this button, the app should be restarted (Expected Result) 3-Testcase will fail and I get this error (Actual Result) (Test instrumentation process crashed. Check tests.SplashActivityTest#splashActivityTest.txt for details) The data on file mentioned before : INSTRUMENTATION_RESULT: shortMsg=Process crashed. INSTRUMENTATION_CODE: 0

Prerequisites:

android {
defaultConfig {
...
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        testInstrumentationRunnerArguments clearPackageData:'true'

} }
...
    testOptions {
        unitTests.returnDefaultValues = true
        execution 'ANDROIDX_TEST_ORCHESTRATOR'
    }
    .....
    dependencies {
     // Espresso Dependencies

    }

I try with API 31 and 33 with Emulator and real devices too

Can any one here help me on this issue?

Thanks

Oh I just noticed in your description "2-After clicking on this button, the app should be restarted (Expected Result)'. You cannot restart the app from within an instrumented test, because that will kill the process the test is running in.

If you need to do this you might want to look into using UiAutomator, and setting up your tests so they run in a different process than the application under test.

Did you configure the UI Automator instrumentation to run in a different process than the app under test? See the manifest link I gave above
