Add intent extras in compose UI test

Question

I want to UI test an Activity that uses Jetpack Compose. The docs provide some information on how to test such a screen with two variants:

 @get:Rule val composeTestRule = createComposeRule()

if I don't need the activity itself to run and want to test just my composables or

 @get:Rule val composeTestRule = createAndroidComposeRule<MyActivity>()

if I do need the activity.

In the second case, how can I pass an Intent with Extras to the activity?

I've tried:

@Before
fun setUp() {
    composeTestRule.activity.intent = Intent().apply {
        putExtra(
            "someKey",
            123
        )
    }
}

but the intent extras are still null in the activity.

Try to set the parameter name correctly, for example :

putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.")
