1807305 - UI tests fail on Android 11 with junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Failed to grant permissions, see logcat for details

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android :: UI Tests, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/22649.

Steps to reproduce

1. With a device running Android 11 (I used a Pixel 2)...
2. Run ./gradlew connectedDebugAndroidTest

Expected behaviour

Tests pass

Actual behaviour

All tests fail with something like:

org.mozilla.fenix.screenshots.DefaultHomeScreenTest > privateBrowsingTest[Pixel 2 - 11] FAILED 
        junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Failed to grant permissions, see logcat for details
        at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:50)

The logcat says:

12-01 09:34:07.836 19782 19904 E GrantPermissionCallable: Permission: android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE cannot be granted!

It sounds like this may be related to the storage changes in Android 11.

Additional information

I don't think we experienced this in a new Android project so it's probably something specific to our Gradle build configuration.

This issue may have blocked our progress on successfully integrating Jetpack Benchmark. The follow-up is get it working is https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/22480

@aaron, do you know if this was fixed after you work on upgrading to API 30?

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Yeah, adjusting permission requests was one of the steps involved in supporting API 30.
