Use secure-preferences with Robolectric about secure-preferences HOT 7 CLOSED

Not tried with Robolectric (will add to my todo), which version of shared prefs? 0.1.0 or the older 0.4.0?

from secure-preferences.

0.0.4, I can try to see if with the version 0.1.0 the problem is not reproducible...

Are you sure you're tests are being correctly cleared down afterwards? I found with the unit tests I wrote in the lib, i had to manually delete the created pref xml files between tests otherwise it would reuse.

We saw the same issue. We worked around it by manually setting the private static SharedPreferences field to null before each test. So, the root issue is because the SecurePreferences class uses the static field, so suppling a different filename will get ignored if SecurePreferences was instantiated with a different file name in a test that ran before this one. We suspect that the sFile variable being static may be a mistake due the comment above it: //default for testing

Here's our subclass that allows us to reset the static field before instantiating SecurePreferences again:

public class TestSafeSecurePreferences extends SecurePreferences {

    public TestSafeSecurePreferences(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public TestSafeSecurePreferences(Context context, String password, String sharedPrefFilename) {
        super(context, password, sharedPrefFilename);
    }

    public static void clearStaticState() {
        try {
            Field staticField = SecurePreferences.class.getDeclaredField("sFile");
            staticField.setAccessible(true);
            staticField.set(null, null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Thanks for this see #22, a fix will be in version 0.1.2
