[BUG]: False Positives on Activity/Fragment LocalTests

[adhiamboperes]

Describe the bug

Sometimes tests pass on the local tests that fail on their Espresso counterparts, and from observation this can be from logic bugs as much as test platform issues.

Steps To Reproduce

Run:

1. HomeActivityLocalTest:testHomeActivity_onSubsequentLaunch_doesNotLogCompletedOnboardingEvent
   From a real run on the device you can see from the developer menu that the event is, infact logged. The same test copied to the androidTest file, fails.

   

2. ExplorationActivityLocalTest: testExplorationActivity_updateGatingProvider_surveyGatingCriteriaMet_keepsSurveyDialog()

Expected Behavior

The above tests should fail, because manually testing the app contradicts the test behaviour.

Additional Context

This issue tracks investigating the root cause of these false positives, and by extension should aim to identify if other tests show the same behaviour.

Should we verify that the domain/ui logic is the problem, seperate issues should be filed to fix those bugs.

I Could not reproduce this on develop. I most llikely experienced it from modifying adjacent code in my working branch. Closing this issue.
