When running an instrumented Android test, or “androidTest”, and you encounter the following error:
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:
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
