This happened on all tests that uses ActivityScenario#launch(Activity), starting from Performance 20.0.0. Earlier releases worked fine without any code change.

Steps to reproduce:

On an Android project with Firebase Performance setup:

1. Create an empty library module (say. :module)
2. Add a dependency to firebase-perf within the module
3. Create an empty activity
4. Add the test shown below within androidTest directory
5. ./gradlew module:connectedCheck

…or…

1. Download & extract MCVE.zip
2. Add your google_services.json file within :app
3. ./gradlew module:connectedCheck

Relevant Code:

class Repro {

    @Test // This will fail with the above stacktrace
    fun activityScenario() {
        ActivityScenario.launch(MainActivity::class.java).use {
            print(0)
        }
    }

    @Test // This will pass
    fun nonActivityScenario() {
        print(0)
    }
}

Any update on this? tried with all latest version(s) and still the same issue.

It breaks all Compose Layout tests in Library modules 😿

Hi @MrHadiSatrio, thanks for the details. I was able to repro the issue, I’ll try to get in contact with an engineer and see what we can find.
