I ran into a problem with a new test module in an AndroidX build. The presubmit failed and I was able to reproduce the error by running this:

$ ./gradlew -Pandroidx.validateNoUnrecognizedMessages --rerun-tasks :graphics:integration-tests:testapp:processDebugMainManifest :graphics:integration-tests:testapp:processReleaseMainManifest

This resulted in the following failure:

Task :graphics:integration-tests:testapp:processDebugMainManifest /Volumes/Android/androidx-main/frameworks/support/graphics/integration-tests/testapp/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml Warning: Namespace 'androidx.graphics.shapes' used in: AndroidManifest.xml, :graphics:graphics-shapes.

There are 2 problems with this as an error message (or warning message, which is effectively the same thing since AndroidX presubmit fails on this warning):

1. My manifest file didn't contact that package name at all. I used the name of the activity class alone. It was only when I thought to click on the merged manifest tab (not something that would likely occur to most developers) to see that that string was in there.
2. The fact that that package name was used didn't seem problematic. That is, that's the package my test files were in, so why was that a problem? The error message didn't help me root-cause the problem at all.

It turned out that the problem was that my module was using the same package name as the library that it was testing, and apparently I needed to use a unique package name (for reasons I don't understand). Once I moved the files into a "test" sub-package and then changed the string in my build.gradle file, it all worked.

The request here is to provide more information in the error message so that I could diagnose and fix this one my own (rather than reaching out to the AndroidX team to help).

In case it helps, here is my CL where you can see the changes before/after the fix: https://android-review.git.corp.google.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/2212660
