IllegalStateException: TZDB.dat missing from assets

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m writing a unit test with Robolectric 3 (read some data from a sqlite database use Instant for Dates / Times)

The problem is that Robolectric is not able to open the file:

Basically I wanted to use Robolectric’s RuntimeEnvironment.application to get a context to for SqliteOpenHelper.

My App class is just initializing AndroidThreeTen:

class App : Application() {
  override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    AndroidThreeTen.init(this)
  }
}

Do you think this is a Robolectric issue? If yes, I will open an issue there

Same thing happens in AS 2.2 Preview 3 with instant run enabled (with AS 2.1.x it worked fine).

EDIT: Forgot to mention that in my case it’s not related to Robotlectric. It sometimes work for 3-4 consequent (instant run) builds and then stops. Switching of instant run solves this issue.

What helped me to work around this issue is to put TZDB.dat into test/assets/org/threeten/bp/.
