Espresso UI testing throws androidx.test.espresso.AppNotIdleException

[joeyoggie]

Hello, I'm running an Espresso UI test, and whenever it reaches the fragment that has a RecyclerView that has this item in the adapter, the test freezes and fails.

It throws the following:

androidx.test.espresso.AppNotIdleException: Looped for 3041 iterations over 60 SECONDS.

This is the output of the test:

E/TestRunner: failed: mainActivityTest(com.vhorus.saloni.barberapp.tests.MainActivityOwnerTest)
----- begin exception -----

I also get this warning for the 60s duration before the test fails.
