Detox: Tests fail with error "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libjscexecutor.so"

What happened?

After upgrading react-native to version 0.68.2 from 0.63.4, the tests fail. The built application works. The error that is thrown by the tests is:

DetoxRuntimeError: Failed to run application on the device

    HINT: Most likely, your tests have timed out and called detox.cleanup() while it was waiting for "ready" message (over WebSocket) from the instrumentation process.

What was the expected behaviour?

No response

Was it tested on latest Detox?

I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

In what environment did this happen?

Detox version: 19.6.9 React Native version: 0.68.2 Node version: 12.21 Device model: Nexus_5X_API_R Android version: 11 Test-runner (select one): jest+jasmine

How strange. One of the first things I had tried last week was forcing Soloader to 0.10.3, but it didn’t seem to fix the issue.

However, forcing it to 0.10.4 solves the problem for me (see releases):

In my android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.10.4+'
    ....
}

There seem to be several complaints in the Soloader project, regarding this error appearing in 64-bit environments. I’m guessing all of us are using "system-images;android-30;default;x86_64" or similar for our AVDs?

…

Tried the soloader 0.10.4, and that changed the logcat a little. Now I can see a new error:

But I honestly don’t know if this error is relevant or just a consequence of changing the soloader version.

Firstly i tried just to use specific version of soloader (0.10.4+) , and that alone didn’t work for detox test build, because it was causing another error. Which, later, I solved by doing the following guide: https://wix.github.io/Detox/docs/introduction/android/#setting-detox-up-as-a-compiling-dependency

Thank you all

I’m in the same boat as you - same problem

Arron-Gill on Jul 19, 2022

fixing to implementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.10.4+' fixed this for me

scottwio on Sep 7, 2022

One last addition from me.

We’re upgrading a couple of RN projects at the moment and have stumbled across a lot of discussion about Soloader 0.10.3 causing issues in Android instrumented tests:

Good luck to all of you!

hanno-jonlay on Jul 20, 2022

I’m guessing all of us are using “system-images;android-30;default;x86_64” or similar for our AVDs?

That’s exactly what we’re using.

That gives me an impression that the problem is coming from the test build used by detox.

I also think it’s caused by detox somehow. As Michał mentioned in description, the apk built with assembleRelease works fine. It’s only the apk built with assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug that fails.
