Gradle: No such property for class error thrown in sub-module?

Question

I am trying to declare the dependencies in my gradle project using the technique described in this answer.

However when I do so I get this error:

Answer 1

1. In your top level settings.gradle, include your subproject:

   include 'subproject'
   

2. In your top level build.gradle define your ext properties:

   ext.libraries = [junit: 'junit:junit:4.10']
   

it does not have to be a map, if you're using just 1 value, but I'm sticking with your formatting.

3. To use this in your subproject build.gradle:

   dependencies{
     testCompile libraries.junit 
   }
