UnitTest compilation fails when using type='mobile'

I'm trying to run unit tests in my mobile air project.
As a test, I've duplicated the flexunit-single-project example project and changed the type to 'mobile' and added:

flexUnit {
command = "${flexHome}/bin/adl" player = "air" ...

I get the following exception:

When changing the type back to 'swc or 'air' everything works.
Does this problem somehow relate to the airmobile-config.xml?

Thanks,
Michael

   It may indeed have something to do with the airmobile-config.xml and how mobile applications are configured. It's trying to compile the flexUnit test application with the mobile configuration, which won't work since the mobile Application class behaves differently compared to its desktop equivalent.

   Maybe you can override this 'configname' property by using the flexUnit.additionalCompilerOptions property.

   Alright, I'm trying to do so, but somehow, the flexUnit.additionalCompilerOptions does not have any effect on the compilation.

   flexUnit {
   command = "${flexHome}/bin/adl" player = "air" verbose = true additionalCompilerOptions = ['-incremental=false', '-output=/Users/crow'] }

   I still get:

   test main class file: /Users/crow/Documents/Development/Gradle/GradleFx-Examples-master/flexunit-air-single-project/build/reports/FlexUnitRunner.mxml

   What am I doing wrong?

   You didn't override the configName flag; in the output it still says: configname=airmobile.

   Try adding configname=air to the additionalCompilerOptions.

   Sorry for the confusion, I actually had a different problem...

   Anyway, I got the unit tests with the air mobile project working now with:

   flexUnit {
   command = "${flexHome}/bin/adl" player = "air" verbose = true additionalCompilerOptions = [ '+configname=air' ] }

   Thanks a lot for your help Maxime and Yennick

   Since I now had the exact same problem when using the latest Flex SDK 4.11, I figured out how to solve the problem, without overriding the configname property.

   The test runner classes seem to require the mx.swc, which is not included in the compiler configs of the airmobile-config.xml of the Flex SDK 4.9.1 and also not included in the compiler configs of Flex SDK 4.11.

   So what I did to get it working is adding the mx.swc to the dependencies:

   test group: 'org.hamcrest', name: 'hamcrest-as3', version: hamcrest_as3_version, ext: 'swc'
   test files(project.file('lib/flexUnitTasks-4.1.0-8.jar').absolutePath,
   project.file('lib/flexunit-4.1.0-8-flex_4.1.0.16076.swc').absolutePath, project.file('lib/flexunit-cilistener-4.1.0-8-4.1.0.16076.swc').absolutePath, project.file('lib/flexunit-uilistener-4.1.0-8-4.1.0.16076.swc').absolutePath) test files("${flexHome}/frameworks/libs/mx/mx.swc")

   There is no need for the flexUnit.additionalCompilerOptions = ['+configname=air'] anymore.
   Now everything seems to work so far :-)

   Cool! I'll have a look whether this can be fixed in GradleFx itself.
