I was looking at API 23 failures in benchmark (b/173743418), and fixed an issue where one failed test brought down the entire suite. In so doing, I noticed a similar pattern in compose tests. Roughly 58 tests out of the 186 in compose.ui aren't actually running, they're just bypassed.

Example failure - Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodError'

Translation - process crash skipped a lot of tests.

Sample failure log snippet:

07-29 01:28:59.587 29748 29748 D MonitoringInstr: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method discardDisplayList()V in class Landroid/view/RenderNode; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.view.RenderNode' appears in /system/framework/framework.jar)

Looking at compose code, RenderNodeApi23 calls RenderNode.discardDisplayList()

But in API 23 that method was called RenderNode.destroyDisplayListData(). It was only changed to discardDisplayList in API 24.
