Android Studio does not recognize the import of espresso

Question

I am trying to write a test case using Espresso.

I am using Android Studio 1.5.1 (stable channel), Gradle plugin 1.5, Gradle 2.7. The problem is that Android Studio does not recognize imports related to Espresso (and not only)

So, I tried to clear the project, rebuild, invalidate the cache and reload, but nothing.

I added these dependencies to my application module:

androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.4.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.4.1' 

I added runner to defaultConfig:

 testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" 

I created a test suite class in the androidTest folder:

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE

Here is (part) of my build.gradle:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt' android { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion '23.0.2' defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 15 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 5 versionName '1.4' testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7 } buildTypes { //my build type configs } packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE' exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt' } lintOptions { disable 'InvalidPackage' } dexOptions { incremental true preDexLibraries = false jumboMode = false javaMaxHeapSize "2g" } } dependencies { compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') compile 'com.viewpagerindicator:library:2.4.1' compile project(':libraries:RITracking') compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:23.1.1' compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.5' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.4.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:8.4.0' compile 'de.greenrobot:eventbus:2.4.1' compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0' compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.7.2' compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.9.0' compile 'com.cocosw:bottomsheet: 1.2.0@aar ' //Bottom Sheet that implement material design used for ShareDialog compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1' //Glide library compile 'com.googlecode.libphonenumber:libphonenumber:7.2.3' //Library used to parse/merge phones number to E164 format compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger: 1.1.3@aar ' //Used to show badge on application icon, library is optimized to work on most of devices compile 'com.stripe:stripe-android:1.0.3' //Stripe payment gateway, used to integrate credit card payment provided 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.16.6' apt "org.projectlombok:lombok:1.16.6" compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1' apt "com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1" compile 'de.greenrobot:greendao:2.1.0' //Green Dao library is ORM implementation for Android SQL lite compile files('libs/libammsdk.jar') compile files('libs/apptimize-android-2.9.1.jar') testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestCompile "com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1" androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:2.2.1' androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.1') { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat' exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7' } androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.4.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.4.1' } 

Answer 1

UPDATE 11/30/2016

Just like @Jaymes Bearden said in a comment below.

Use testBuildType. Android Studio 2.2, gradle 2.2.2

 android { testBuildType "yourBuildType" }

OLD ANSWER

I did not find a solution, but some source of the problem. In my project I have a lot of BuildTypes. Especially more than one debug build.

Everything works only by default debug . I think this is some internal error of Android Studio.

My AS version is 2.1

Answer 2

You need to use the debug build option. In other versions, the assembly of espresso will not be reconstructed.

Answer 3

Your build option may be in release mode. You must change it for debugging.

Answer 4

I am sure that you have something missing in your configuration. compare your build.gradle with mine below

 def ASVersion = '23.1.1' buildscript { repositories { maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' } } dependencies { classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+' } } apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'io.fabric' apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt' repositories { maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' } } android { dataBinding { enabled = true } compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion '23.0.2' defaultConfig { applicationId "com.piotr.awesome" minSdkVersion 16 targetSdkVersion 23 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestCompile "com.android.support:support-annotations:$ASVersion" androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1' androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:2.2.1' androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.1') { exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat' exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4' exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7' } androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.4.1' compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$ASVersion" compile "com.android.support:support-v4:$ASVersion" compile "com.android.support:design:$ASVersion" } 

Also select File -> Invalidate cache/restart and try the first option.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

In Android Studio:

Open the Run menu → “Change Configurations” - Add a New Android Tests Configuration - Select a Module Add a Special Measuring Instrument:

android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

Also try updating your Android support library from the SDK manager.
