Unknown error when running robolectric

Question

I am new to robolectric and all I want is to run simple test.

I use Android Studio => Gradle

When I run my sample test

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class ExampleTest extends InstrumentationTestCase {

@Test
public void test() throws Exception {
    final int expected = 5;
    final int reality = 5;
    assertEquals(expected, reality);
}
}

using gradle

 ./gradlew clean test --stacktrace

I got exception


    test.ExampleTest > test FAILED
        java.lang.RuntimeException
            Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

    1 test completed, 1 failed
    :app:testDebug FAILED

    FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

    * What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ':app:testDebug'.
    > There were failing tests. See the report at: file:///Users/gburanov/code/mobile/Medoo.Android/app/build/test-report/debug/index.html

    * Try:
    Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

    * Exception is:

    org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:testDebug'.

How to find the real source of error? Nullpoint exception where?

For Robolectric you shouldn't extend InstrumentationTestCase.
