Testing your workers

Testing the code is very important. It ensures that our code works as expected and it also helps us to catch bugs early. We will be writing tests for our workers in this section. To test our workers, we first need to set up WorkManager testing dependencies with the following steps:

1. Let us head over to the libs.versions.toml file and add the following dependency to the libraries section:

   work-testing = { module = "androidx.work:work-testing", version.ref = "work" }

   Sync your project. This will add the work-testing artifact that helps in testing workers to our project.

   androidTestImplementation(libs.work.testing)

   We have used androidTestImplementation because we will be writing our tests in the androidTest folder. Do a Gradle sync to add the dependency to our project. We are now ready to start writing our tests.
