I'm trying to use the MonkeyTalk to automate the black-box tests in my Android app. The problem I'm facing is that they don't have anything documented about using it with Maven. So, after a lot of research and trying a lot of things, I made the build to work. But, my app is crashing when I install the MonkeyTalk agent.
I don't know if it's something wrong with my build or if the MonkeyTalk agent is incompatible with the libraries I'm using. So, here is what I've done to build with maven:
First, I've downloaded the MonkeyTalk and installed the JAR of the agent using this command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=monkeytalk-agent-1.0.53.jar -DgroupId="com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk" -DartifactId="monkeytalk-agent" -Dversion="1.0.53" -Dpackaging="jar"
So, I added the following dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId>
<version>1.6.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
And, since I don't want the MonkeyTalk agent to be included in every release, I've created a profile as follows:
<profile>
<id>monkeytalk</id>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk</groupId>
<artifactId>monkeytalk-agent</artifactId>
<version>1.0.53</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<aspectLibraries>
<aspectLibrary>
<groupId>com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk</groupId>
<artifactId>monkeytalk-agent</artifactId>
</aspectLibrary>
</aspectLibraries>
<showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<Xlint>ignore</Xlint>
<outxml>true</outxml>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<!--<phase>process-sources</phase>-->
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>test-compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
With this configuration, the build works normally. I see in the log that the aspectj plugin is configuring the MonkeyTalk. Here is part of the log:
[INFO] Join point 'method-call(void android.widget.TextView.setText(java.lang.CharSequence))' in Type 'com.devspark.appmsg.AppMsg' (AppMsg.java:144) advised by before advice from 'com.gorillalogic.fonemonkey.aspects.SetText' (monkeytalk-agent-1.0.56.jar!SetText.class:26(from SetText.aj))

Ok, but when I install the app and try to open it, I can only open the first screen, that is the most simple, having just some buttons that either login via a social network or open another Activity. But when I open another Activity, that is much more complex, the app crashes. And it's very strange, because in each Android version, it crashes with a different exception.
This exception, for example, happens with Android 4.3:

In Android 2.2, I have this exception:

Does someone with more experience with MonkeyTalk knows why its agent is breaking my app? Is it my maven configuration?
If requestFeature is optional, try removing the line of code.
Or put the line of code above super.onCreate() as this says.
This blog may be mentioning the same problem.
