Robolectric IllegalState Exception

I'm running into a strange IllegalStateException and I think it is a problem with Robolectric. This is the stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV7.createSubDecor(AppCompatDelegateImplV7.java:340)
at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV7.ensureSubDecor(AppCompatDelegateImplV7.java:309)
at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDelegateImplV7.setContentView(AppCompatDelegateImplV7.java:273)
at android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity.setContentView(AppCompatActivity.java:136)
at com.sr.dd.dd_app.screens.main.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:87)

MainActivity.java line 87

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/main_drawer_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <!-- The main content view --> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/main_content_frame" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> <!-- The navigation drawer --> <ListView android:id="@+id/main_left_drawer" android:layout_width="280dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="left|start" android:background="#FFFFFF" /> </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

The Unit Test where the Activity is instantiated:

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
@Config(constants = BuildConfig.class, shadows = {ShadowGoogleApiAvailability.class}, manifest="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml")
public class ScreenUnitTest {
    ... //Some unimportant stuff
    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        ... //More unimportant stuff
        mainActivity = Robolectric.setupActivity(MainActivity.class);
    }
}

build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.+'
    androidTestCompile 'com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker:1.2'
    androidTestCompile 'com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:1.2'
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.3.0'
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.+'
    testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:3.1'
    testCompile "org.robolectric:shadows-support-v4:3.1"
    testCompile "org.robolectric:shadows-play-services:3.1"
    testCompile 'org.robolectric:shadows-maps:3.1'
    testCompile 'org.khronos:opengl-api:gl1.1-android-2.1_r1'
    testCompile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'

    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.3.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.+'
    compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.9.4'
}

Compiling with Sdk version 23

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. It looks similar to other questions, but the answers I have found aren't helping.

Remove the manifest entry from your config tag, robolectric will find it self. Or when necessary then use the manifest file located in your build directory. This is a common mistake and then robolectric can't find some stuff.
