Speed up compilation with mockito on Android
- by pbreault
I am currently developing an android app in eclipse using:
One project for the app
One project for the tests (Instrumentation and Pojo tests)
In the test project, I am importing the mockito library for standard POJO testing.
However, when I import the library, the compilation time skyrockets from 1 second to about 30 seconds in eclipse. The cause seems to be that the whole library is converted each time. So basically, each time a make a modification that I want to test, I have to wait 30 seconds.
The only workarounds that I have found so far would be:
Disable "Build Automatically"
Create a project that includes only pojo tests and put mockito only there.
Use another library that compiles faster (e.g. easymock)
Any other suggestion?
