I have been trying to test an app that has a menu drawer using Espresso.
Now for the strangeness.
In the first test, I open the drawer and click on an item then proceed with the rest of the test. That all works great.
When I add a second test that does the exact same thing, I get an exception. It appears to be something related to content of the menu drawer but I am at a loss.
The exception is this:
com.google.android.apps.common.testing.ui.espresso.PerformException: Error performing 'single click' on view '(with id: is <2131099739> and with text: is "Events")'.
