Android tests build error: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/test/BuildConfig

Question

I\'m trying to add Espresso 2 to my project (which also has lots of other dependencies), but I\'m hitting this error when trying to run tests:

UNEXPECTED TOP         


        

Answer 1

One other useful tip is how to force dependency resolution to a specific version.

Here is one way:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0'
}

...and here is another:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
            details.useVersion '22.0.0'
        }
    }
}

Using either of these with com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1 should work.

See the Forcing consistent version for a group of libraries section in the Gradle documentation for more information.
