Robolectric and chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh activity testing

Question

I'm trying to implement some TDD using Robolectric(2.3-20140416.035220-155) on an activity that uses AppCompat and chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh library.

Nevertheless, I'm getting the following error:

java.lang.StackOverflowError

    at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowView.post(ShadowView.java:318)
    at android.view.View.post(View.java)

And the following lines repeats itself at the stack trace:

    at org.robolectric.shadows.ShadowView.post(ShadowView.java:318)
    at android.view.View.post(View.java)

This is my setup configuration:

@Before
public void setup() {
    activity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MainActivity.class).create().visible().start().resume().get();
}

Is there any special configuration that I must add, or just Robolectric is not currently compatible with chrisbanes library?

Thanks,

Please see responses from here: https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/1041

Change your pull to refresh initialization from onCreate into onStart or to onViewCreated (for fragment). Worked for me.
