When running an instrumented Android test, or “androidTest”, and you encounter the following error:
1 |
androidx.test.espresso.PerformException: Error performing 'scroll to' on view 'Animations or transitions are enabled on the target device. |
It means that you need to disable animations for it to successfully run the test.
But, it can take a lot of clicks on the emulator/device screen to get to the developer settings to turn off animations!
So, for a quicker way to disable animations in the Android device during development, just enter the following commands in your Android Studio terminal:
1 2 3 |
adb shell settings put global window_animation_scale 0.0 adb shell settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.0 adb shell settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.0 |
