Mention upstream AGP issue

[arturdryomov]

Up to this point I haven’t even tried to run JUnit 5-based unit tests in Android projects. Am I understanding correctly that it is not quite possible at this point? Is there an upstream AGP issue we can star and track? I was searching for it across Android issue tracker with little success.

? The whole point of this project is to enable the use of junit5 unit tests in an android project. Rest assured, it works just fine.

I asked Google about this once a year or more ago, and it was not on their radar to add native support. Remember how long it took them to even give us junit4 support!

Well, the more community can push it upstream, the better. Still — is there an upstream issue or it should be created?

I think that having an upstream issue to heighten the visibility of this feature request would be useful. I personally haven't filed any such issue - the only issue tangentially related to JUnit 5 was about module-info.class exclusion in newer versions of the framework. @ming13, I'd be happy to include the issue link in the README if you'd like to open it upstream.

I could not find existing ticket, so I have created one here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/127100532

Not that I think that anything would change but one can cream.

FYI, I raised this in a related issue a while ago. Here's the link: https://issuetracker.google.com/u/2/issues/79189568

It looks like Google is now migrating everything test-related to their Github page. I have also created issue here: android/android-test#224

Thanks, everybody! I'll aggregate these links into a new section in the Readme.
