Improving snapshot tests with Paparazzi
To do this we created a Kotlin program with a main function and used another library, also from Square, KotlinPoet (https://github.com/square/kotlinpoet) to generate the code.

GitHub Actions: a New Hope in YAML Wasteland
This generation is done with the KotlinPoet library. That's also what powers the script-generator from the previous paragraph.

Building Reddit’s design system for Android with Jetpack Compose
Component API tests are written for all components in the library. These are Paparazzi snapshot tests that are parameterized to cover all the combinations of values for the properties in the API of a given component. Additionally, they include as parameters: color theme, layout direction, and optionally other properties that may be relevant to the component under test (e.g., font scale).

Compose & Paparazzi: Automatically find @Preview composables at runtime
Looks really nice. Sadly, I wasn't able to test it because it doesn't support application module
- Paparazzi 1.2 is out

How do you guys test the UI of your app?
Curious what you mean by hilt refuses to work and what you have tried? Usually though if I'm testing the UI of the app, I might use paparazzi for screenshot tests because it doesn't have to run the test on device. Then for a UI integration test for navigation and user flows, use espresso and replace the network data sources with mocks which in your case would be with hilt android test rule and test install in annotation .

Mockito and non-debuggable testBuildTypes
The good thing is, Square got us covered once more, in regards to the flaky emulators, by providing a screenshot-testing library that does not require an emulator: https://cashapp.github.io/paparazzi/
