android - Gradle + Robolectric: Where do I put the file org.robolectric.Config.properties? -

i'm trying setup test using robolectric click on menu button in this repository. basic robolectric tests run, i'm not able run project-specific test using resources because says can't find androidmanifest.xml. after running ../gradlew clean check, here's standard output robolectric html file:

warning: no manifest file found @ ./androidmanifest.xml.falling android os resources only. remove warning, annotate test class @config(manifest=config.none).

i found these instructions indicate should create org.robolectric.config.properties file, i'm not sure put it. i've tried everywhere, pretty much, , despite moving file, path in error message same above (./androidmanifest.xml). makes me think build process has never picked settings in file org.robolectric.config.properties.

i tried @config(manifest="") directive gave me cannot find symbol error. if move androidmanifest.xml project directory, error not being able find path ./res/values , wasn't able resolve either. ideas?

update 1

thanks eugen, i'm using @runwith(robolectricgradletestrunner.class) instead of @runwith(robolectrictestrunner).

now different error, still occurring on same line of my basictest.java

keywordlist keywordlist = robolectric.buildactivity(keywordlist.class).create().get(); 

below results standard error, standard output, , "failed tests" tab in robolectric test report:

note: tried substituting in jar built latest robolectric updates, robolectric-2.2-snapshot.jar, still got error.

standard error

warning: no system properties value ro.build.date.utc

standard output

i found right place put it. first, structure of application shown below:

my application under

app/src/main/ 

my test application under

app/src/test/ 

you should name property file robolectric.properties , put under

src/test/resources/  

the content of robolectric.properties is

manifest: src/main/androidmanifest.xml 

then, test program can locate property file!
