How to test on device with WorkManager's `setRequiresDeviceIdle(true)`

I'm trying to setup androidx WorkManager to do some job once a day.

I'm setting my job like this

val request = PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder(Worker::class.java, 24, TimeUnit.HOURS)
        .setConstraints(
                Constraints.Builder()
                        .setRequiresCharging(true)
                        .setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.UNMETERED)
                        .setRequiresDeviceIdle(true)
                        .build()
        )
        .build()

workManager.enqueueUniquePeriodicWork(
        "my-job-name",
        ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy.REPLACE,
        request
)

And my Worker class has some logging.

I'm trying to verify that this is working. The problem is I can't see any of my logging in logcat. However it works fine when I remove setRequiresDeviceIdle(true) constraint. Can anyone point out how can I put my phone in the state which works with setRequiresDeviceIdle(true)?

I tried

adb shell dumpsys deviceidle force-idle

But this isn't working. Also I tried turning off screen and forwarding clocks to next day and so on. Nothing worked.

If it's testing that were talking about, the best option is to use WorkManager's WorkManagerTestInitHelper and its capability to drive directly the testDriver.

// Create request
val workManager = WorkManager.getInstance(context)
val testDriver = WorkManagerTestInitHelper.getTestDriver()

testDriver.setAllConstraintsMet(request.id)

You can find more information in the testing documentation
