build: Disable Android debug variants outside the sample app#5825
Merged
Conversation
Unit tests already target the release variant (testBuildType = release) and CI disabled the debug variant. Disable the debug variant locally too so local builds match CI and skip building the unused variant. The sample app keeps both variants for manual runs and profiling. Update the contributor docs and test skill to reference testReleaseUnitTest instead of testDebugUnitTest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📜 Description
Unit tests already run against the
releasevariant (testBuildType = "release"), and CI already disabled the Androiddebugvariant. This makes the same thing happen locally:Config.Android.shouldSkipDebugVariantnow skips thedebugvariant everywhere (not just in CI), so local builds of the libraries and integration-test apps match CI and no longer configure/build the unuseddebugvariant.sentry-samples-android) keeps bothdebugandreleasevariants locally and in CI, so manual runs and btrace profiling (installDebug) still work.AGENTS.md,.cursor/rules/coding.mdc) and thetestskill to referencetestReleaseUnitTestinstead oftestDebugUnitTest.sentry-android-coreto the release task.💡 Motivation and Context
All unit tests use the release variant, so the debug variant only added build/configuration overhead locally, and the docs pointed contributors (and agents) at a
testDebugUnitTesttask that no longer runs.💚 How did you test it?
./gradlew :sentry-android-core:tasks --all— onlytestReleaseUnitTestis present; noassembleDebug/testDebugUnitTest../gradlew :sentry-samples:sentry-samples-android:tasks --all— bothinstallDebug/assembleDebugand their release counterparts remain../gradlew spotlessApply apiDump— passes with no API changes.📝 Checklist
