Java.lang.nosuchmethoderror: No Static Method Registerdefaultinstance With Firebase Performance And Espresso Instrumented Tests

When I adding implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx:19.1.0' I cannot start espresso instrumented tests ('app' scheme building ok). When I trying to start Espresso t

Solution 1:

In my case it seems to be caused by protobuf-lite:3.0.1 dependency from recently updated androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0' which I was able to fix with this exclude

androidTestImplementation (androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0'){
    exclude module: "protobuf-lite"
}

In case of KTX

testImplementation('androidx.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:3.4.0') {
        exclude(module = "protobuf-lite")
    }

Solution 2:

It looks like you might need to modify how you specify your dependency and use something like this:

implementation(Deps.Firebase.performance)
    {
        exclude(group = "com.google.protobuf", module="protobuf-java")
    }
