Because of this, installation of +overlay packages require the Android platform be rebooted. However, the +regular unit tests (triggered via development/testrunner/runtest.py) +cannot handle reboots. As a workaround, this directory contains a shell +script which will trigger the tests in a non-standard way. + +Once runtime resource overlay may be applied to applications, the tests +in this directory should be moved to core/tests/coretests. Also, by +applying runtime resource overlay to a dedicated test application, the +test cases would not need to assume default values for non-overlaid +resources. |
