Android Studio (Gradle) cannot find Mockito

Question

I try to use Mockito from within Android Studio 1.2.2 but I get the following error:

Error:(50, 17) Failed to resolve: org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.1

Answer 1

androidTestCompile has now been replaced with androidTestImplementation

dependencies {

androidTestImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
}

Answer 2

I was stuck into a similar problem, and adding the mockito jar file manually did the thing for me.

To do that, first create a directory called "libs" in your app directory. Take note that this directory should be in the same level as that of the src/main and build directories. Next, download the mockito jar file and paste it into the libs directory.

Include that into your dependencies in the app level build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/add-your-jar-file-name-here')
}

Sync the gradle and that should do the job.

Answer 3

Try replacing testCompile with androidTestCompile, it works for me when importing Mockito libs.

However, you may run to a runtime error if you include only mockito-core. You'll need to add into your gradle:

androidTestCompile "org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19"
androidTestCompile "com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker:1.2"
androidTestCompile "com.google.dexmaker:dexmaker-mockito:1.2"

If you have error with dexcache, put this line into your setUp() (Assuming you are using InstrumentalTestCase)

System.setProperty("dexmaker.dexcache", getInstrumentation().getTargetContext().getCacheDir().getPath());

Answer 4

Make sure the test file is located under $your_module/src/test/java or $your_module/src/androidTest/java directory.
