Screenshots are all the same - only the 1st screenshot is kept for each test

I've already look at #384 but it's not helpful.

My code:

@Test
    public void testInProgressTab() {
        Activity activity = activityTestRule.getActivity();
        Spoon.screenshot(activity, "InProgres-one");
        onView(withText(R.string.menu_incentives)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
        onView(withText(R.string.in_progress)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
        onView(withText(R.string.ended)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
        onView(withText(R.string.active_now)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
        onView(allOf(withId(R.id.rv_scorecards), isDisplayed())).perform(RecyclerViewActions.scrollToPosition(12));
        Spoon.screenshot(activity, "InProgres-two");// this one is not kept!
        onView(withText(R.string.everything_else)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
    }

When I comment out the first Spoon.screenshot() then I got the 2nd screenshot correctly.

I'm using:

• Android Gradle plugin 3.0.1
• Spoon 1.7.1
• com.jaredsburrows:gradle-spoon-plugin:1.2.0

See this previous issue here: #498. Also, you need to use "single instrumentation" to get Spoon to generate the reports correctly: stanfy/spoon-gradle-plugin#161 (comment).

Thanks for replying @jaredsburrows , I've already used singleInstrumentationCall = true. That solved 1 problem (only 1 test got screenshots ==> all tests got screenshots)
However, within 1 test like my example above, all the screenshots are the same as the first one!

@eric-grab Yeah, sadly I think spoon 2 has problems. Ideally, you probably only need the screenshots of the tests that have failed right?

hi @jaredsburrows

you probably only need the screenshots of the tests that have failed right?

serves the purpose of the debugging, yes

However, I need all the screenshots for all the steps to

• Prove that my component (a few user flows involving a few screens) sanity tests actually cover what it's supposed to cover
• Visualise the screens to help me write tests faster compared to imagining them in my mind
• Provide screenshots to product managers, marketing team etc. for as presentation materials

@eric-grab Makes a lot of since. I am not sure about the screenshot work around. We might have to find another solution or wait for Spoon 2 to be released. I was looking into this recently:
