VisibleForTesting

Denotes that the class, method, or field has its visibility relaxed so that it is more widely visible than otherwise necessary to make code testable.

You can optionally specify what the visibility should have been if not for testing; this allows tools to catch unintended access from within production code.

Example:

@VisibleForTesting(otherwise = VisibleForTesting.PROTECTED)
public String printDiagnostics() { ... }

If not specified, the intended visibility is assumed to be private.

Added in 1.5.0
const val NONE = 5: Int

The annotated element should never be called from production code, only from tests.

This is equivalent to RestrictTo.Scope.TESTS.

Cmn
Added in 1.5.0
const val PACKAGE_PRIVATE = 3: Int

The annotated element would have package private visibility.

PRIVATE

Cmn
Added in 1.5.0
const val PRIVATE = 2: Int

The annotated element would have private visibility.

PROTECTED

Cmn
Added in 1.5.0
const val PROTECTED = 4: Int

The annotated element would have protected visibility.
