Robolectric packageinfo missing data

My app uses versionName of it's PackageInfo to determine the current version.

I'm trying to test a piece of code (using JUnit) the relies on that data, but Robolectric set versionName to null. I looked into the source code and saw that the PackageInfo is initialized according to my AndroidManifest.xml.

My app's manifest doesn't contains versionName, it is set via android gradle plugin (which works great after a regular build, and I would like to keep it that way)

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19.1.0"

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        versionName VERSION_NAME
    }
...
}

Any ideas how I can make the changes to the manifest occur in a test build?

You can use BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME constant instead of gathering it from PackageInfo.

However because Robolectric tests are run only for debug configuration it is not possible to check in Robolectric tests release configuration cases. But maybe it is not your case
