Error:(23, 17) Failed to resolve: junit:junit:4.12

Question

Why is it that every time I create a new project in Android Studio, it always comes up with:

Error:(23, 17) Failed to resolve: junit:junit:4.12?

When I remove testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' in dependencies it is not a problem anymore.

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.okedroid.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

Don't ask me why but I had got the same error and it was solved changing the JUnit reference from **testcompile** to **compile** as follows: `compile("junit:junit:4.12")`. It is frustrating as I didn't want to include test libraries into the application jar. Btw, I am not developing for Android: `apply plugin: 'application'` — dbaltor, Jul 17 '19 at 22:04

I had the same problem. Solved by adding url for missing repository in the build.gradle file:

android {
    [...]
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
    }
    [...]
}

That's it.

Just remove the "testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'" from build.gradle file:

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'//remove this line and sync again... worked for me

androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'}) //if available, also delete these two lines

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

Remember that this is not the actual answer of this question. I mentioned this because it works when you remove above lines.

Go to File -> Project Structure. Following window will open:

From there:

remove the junit library (select junit and press "-" button below ) and
add it again (select "+" button below, select "library dep.", search for "junit", press OK ). Press OK to apply changes. After around 30 seconds your gradle sync should work fine.

Hope it works for you too :D

To manually add junit to the project, open "build.gradle (Module: app)" file from the left side. Add this line: testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' at the end of the file anywhere in between the dependencies block and finally sync the project by going at TOOLS > ANDROID > SYNC PROJECT WITH GRADLE FILES – Hasaan Ali Aug 04 '16 at 12:24

After adding above line inside android block in build.gradle file, it resolved problem. This can be because your Android studio doesn't have junit library.

Probably your gradle is incomplete, I recommend you add the following

android{
    repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}

but in some cases won't work , you can completely delete it from you dependencies in your gradle.

I think it will be OK if you reinstall the android studio with the deleting gradle folder condition which is in user folder .gradle

Here is what I did to solve the same problem. I am behind a firewall, which is same issue as yours I suppose. So I had tried removing the

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' line

but that didnt work for me. I tried adding below lines of code:

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
}

Even that did not work for me.

I tried removing (-) and readding (+) Junit4.12 from the library dependencies under Module Settings. Still that did not work for me.

Tried syncing and rebuilding project several times. Still did not work for me.

Finally what I did was to manually download the Junit4.12.jar file from mvnrepository website. I put this jar file in the Androids Workspace under the Project folder inside libs folder. Then go to Module Settings > Dependencies Tab > (+) > File Dependency > under Sleect path window, expand the 'libs' folder and you will find the Jar file you copied inside there. Select the File and click 'OK' Now remove the previous version of junit4.12 from the list of dependencies.

You should have one entry "libs\junit-4.12.jar" in the Dependencies list. Now click 'OK'.

Now Gradle will rebuild the project and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps!

I just invalidated cache and restarted the Android Studio. – Mohammedsalim Shivani Mar 27 '18 at 09:33 — Mohammedsalim Shivani, Mar 27 '18 at 09:33

It happens because HTTPS is blocked by Proxy. Try to change from default jcenter (which uses HTTPS) into HTTP.

Before

repositories {
     jcenter()
}

After

repositories {
    jcenter {
        //Default one is HTTPS
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
}

Repeat the above step for allprojects.

allprojects {
  repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
  }
}

Or changing from jcenter to mavenCentral also worked

repositories {
   mavenCentral()
}

I change it to the following and the error went away:

Be sure you are not behind a proxy!
If you configured your Android Strudio to work with proxy be sure to disable that option under the Android Studio preferences
Go to gradle.properties under Android view in Android Studio and delete all proxy configuration
Sync your gradle now

Are you using proxy? If so, the problem can be in missing network configuration for https in your gradle.properties file.

AndroidStudio puts automatically your default proxy settings to gradle.properties file in your project, but only for http and forgets https.

So basically your gradle.properties file needs to contain both http and https config:

systemProp.http.proxyPassword=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyHost=xxx
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyUser=xxx
systemProp.http.proxyPort=xxx

systemProp.https.proxyPassword=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyHost=xxx
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyUser=xxx
systemProp.https.proxyPort=xxx

Mostly this issue will come when ever you update your SDK, at the time of project creation Gradle build fails. If you add the maven and jcenter repositories to your build.gradle(Module:app) your problem will solved.

repositories {
    maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
    jcenter { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
}

These are the two line you have to add after

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

This is how your code look like after adding those two lines

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

 repositories {
        maven { url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2' }
        jcenter { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" }
    }

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.okedroid.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1

The error is caused by missing jar files. My simple solution is just by copying all the files that does not resolve to the C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository... (your file path may be different). I got around 6 dependencies that cannot be resolved, junit is one of them and the others are com and org and javax. Since I am behind a firewall, even if I added the code for the repository, the Android Studio doesn't seem to access it. I went to the maven repository and downloaded all the files that will not resolve. Problem solved and the Gradle sync without error. But I am a certified newbie with only 1 day experience so I do not not if this is the proper way to do it.

Example error: Cannot resolve com:squareup:javawriter:2.1.1

Step 1: I created a path C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\squareup\javawriter\2.1.1\

Step 2: I downloaded all the jar files from the maven repository: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/squareup/javawriter/2.1.1/

Step 3: I manually downloaded all the .jar files from this directory

Step 4: I copied them to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\com\squareup\javawriter\2.1.1\

I repeated this to all the files that did not resolve including the junit.

For junit, here is the directory I created: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\m2repository\junit\junit\4.12 and then I copied the junit-4.12.jar inside this directory and the junit error disappeared.

My installation of Android Studio is completely offline. To resolve these kind of problems I have used the Process Monitor. It showed that a few files are missing within "Android Studio\gradle\m2repository". I have downloaded all files from

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.12/
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-core/
repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/hamcrest/hamcrest-parent/1.3/ (I can only post two links...;-))

and copied these files in "Android Studio\gradle\m2repository". You have to create the structure below "m2repository" as it is below "maven2". Maybe there are more missing files, but at this time at least Gradle build is finished without errors.

in all these answers, this was the only one which actually solved my problem (I tested them all !). of course for me it needed more repositories to be added but the solution was the same. the only one which didn't work was "javax.annotation-api/1.2" that after a few tests I had to remove it from dependencies. thanks @Tasko — Lord Sepid, Sep 19 '17 at 18:23

Look through for many answers but nothing works. Fortunately had found the easy solution. No need to comment junit4.12 or delete it. The problem is here:

- androidTestCompile files('libs/junit-4.12.jar')

This part shows us the path to look for the file in the library in your's project. No idea why but for some reason by the default it is empty. In my case the path is:

C:\Users\arzakhar\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApp\app\libs

Sure you can delete this line in code build.grandle(Module.app) but you may need it later. Here is the solution:

1 - download junit-4.12.jar or copy it from you Android Studio folder, normally it should be there. In my case, it was here:

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\lib

to the directory mentioned above(to your project)

2 - delete & add

My other problem was that the Gradle build was too slow!

I resolved my problem by doing thisL

If you do like mdew you need to this any time you're creating your project to do this

So if you want to set default option to maven

Do this:

Go to the folder:

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root

Then open the build.gradle.ftl file with notepad++ or notepad and replace all jcenter() with mavenCentral().

Do this: download the jar add this line inside the

repositories {
        //previous codes untouched
        flatDir {
            dirs 'location to jar'
        }
}

hope that works ;)

When you are not behind a company firewall, using the Android Studio will resolve that issue naturally. But if you are behind a company firewall, this problem will occur. So downloading the files will be a workaround. On your own home network, updating Android Studio will resolve the issue and will ask you to delete those files that you have manually created. Just press OK as it is safe to remove them.

In my case was it was very wired! Besides adding a correct proxy (I'm working within a company), I needed to add the other two libraries in the dependencies:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1'

then the error for "junit:junit:4.12" was resolved. Make sure that all of the dependencies in build.gradle match what you import in project structure

If any one get error "failed-to-resolve-junitjunit4-12" then go to HTTP PRoxy setting check your internet connection. if you are using any proxy server at school / college then set your proxy setting and test connect if it successful then apply setting and run again gradle you will get resolve all error. I try this and i resolve all errors. Note : no need to remove Junit....!! Umair

If none of these answers for you, try clearing the Android Studio cache/restart. That was the only thing that worked for me:

From the file menu option, I selected "invalidate caches/restart".

You should to address Java to windows.

Open this address: 'control panel\system and security\system'
From left side choose 'Advanced system settings'
In the advanced tab, choose 'Environment Variables'
In opened window, below "system variables", choose 'New'.
Set variable name to JAVA_HOME, and the variable value to the address you installed Java. For example, for me it is C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8.0_66. After that, click the okay button.
Restart Android Studio

In my case the solution was to add

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

to module-level build-gradle inside buildTypes{ }

Suppose that without it AndroidStudio can't download junit from maven.

This answer might be a bit late, but after spending a few hours working through the answers nothing worked for me. After reading the error log patiently i realized that android studio tried to use a cached version of JUnit with a wrong hash code. The solution to this was to delete the C:\Android\caches\modules-2 directory and restart the build.

Hope this helps!

I believe your given path is different to others since it is C:\Android..., can you tell what is that path actually? for example installation path? SDK path? JDK path? Project path? – elliotching Mar 21 '19 at 10:14

In my case, I just add:

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
}

}

Erase all the Junit dependencies and add this on the dependencies.

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.3.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:rules:1.3.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:core:1.3.1-alpha02'

I had the same problem. It was solved by a simple modification adding "junit:junit:4.+"

dependencies {

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'

}

If you're behind a proxy server, just add your proxy settings in gradle.properties

systemProp.http.proxyHost=x.xx.xx.x

systemProp.http.proxyPort=xxxx

systemProp.https.proxyHost=x.xx.xx.x

systemProp.https.proxyPort=xxxx

It worked for me.
