The module prepares codegen tests for running (compiler/testData/codegen/box and compiler/testData/codegen/boxInline directories) on an Android platform. It achieves this by compiling all tests, except those explicitly excluded, into a single Android project. The tests are then executed on an Android Virtual Device, leveraging the Kotlin Gradle Plugin integration tests (libraries/tools/kotlin-gradle-plugin-integration-tests). This testing environment is well-suited for building and running external Gradle projects. Exclusions in the CodegenTestsOnAndroidGenerator typically include tests marked with // IGNORE_BACKEND: ANDROID, tests that contain Java source files, or tests that use JVM features not supported by the Android Runtime.
To generate the project with tests, execute:
./gradlew :compiler:android-tests:generateAndroidTests
Run the according Gradle integration tests by executing:
./gradlew :kotlin-gradle-plugin-integration-tests:kgpAndroidCodegenTests
