Kotlin和new ActivityTestRule: @Rule必须是公共的

我试图在Kotlin为我的android应用程序做UI测试。由于新系统使用ActivityTestRule，我不能使它工作:它编译正确，在运行时，我得到:

java.lang.Exception: The @Rule 'mActivityRule' must be public.

下面是我如何声明mActivityRule:

RunWith(javaClass<AndroidJUnit4>())
LargeTest
public class RadisTest {


Rule
public val mActivityRule: ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> = ActivityTestRule(javaClass<MainActivity>())


...
}

它已经是公共的:/
