Android - error: package android.support.test does not exist

Question

I try to run unit test, but I get error

error: package android.support.test does not exist

In my grade file I have

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

But I still get error

Gradle

Answer 1

Make sure your gradle file is like this:

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        ...
    }
    ...
}
dependencies {
    ...
    androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    ...
}

Does it work now?

In the gradle file for example two, replacing androidTestImplementation with implementation it seems to fix the issue. Check and update me once.
