There is a list to which I add names from another list, but at the moment the list is empty. I try using espresso tests to determine that the list does not contain a specific name:

ViewInteraction textView2 = onView(withId(R.id.persname)) .check(matches(hasDescendant(withText("Петя")))); textView2.check(matches(not(isDisplayed())));

Knocks an error:

android.support.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException: No views in hierarchy found matching: with id: com.vm.sai: id / persname

I also tried this way:

 ViewInteraction textView2 = onView( allOf(withId(R.id.persname), withText("Петя"), not(isDisplayed()))); textView2.check(matches(not(isDisplayed())));

And the error is as follows:

android.support.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException: No matches in hierarchy found matching: (id: com.vm.sai: id / persname

But for example, in the list from which I add these names, checking if there is one, it shows what it is:

 ViewInteraction textView = onView( allOf(withId(R.id.persname), withText("Петя"), isDisplayed())); textView.check(matches(withText("Петя")));

    From the second error I realized that it was possible in the view itself I don’t hide it and do nothing with it, so I decided to check if it exists.

     onView(withId(R.id.persname)).check(doesNotExist());

    That basically solved my problem.
