Unit testing under test artifacts in build variants missing in IntelliJ Idea CE 14.1.4

Question

I have a multi-module Android gradle project which I run in IntelliJ 14.1.4. In the app module of my project, I have some unit tests. The build.gradle file of app project looks like follows:

build.gradle (app)

...

sourceSets {
    main {
        java.srcDirs = ['src']
        res.srcDirs = ['res']
        jniLibs.srcDirs = ['jniLibs']
    }
    test {
        java.srcDirs = ['tests']
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    testCompile 'org.powermock:powermock-mockito-release-full:1.6.2'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-all:1.10.19'
}

directory structure (app)

--app/
-----src/
-----res/
-----tests/
-----jniLibs/

I am using android gradle build tool version 1.2.3 (which is newer than 1.1.0 as suggested by IntelliJ to enable unit testing).

Even with these settings I am unable to get the unit testing under test artifacts in build variants window. What is wrong?

The trick is to use android gradle build tool version 1.3.1 (or above). Include this line in the top level build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'
        ...
    }
}

And magically, 'Unit Tests' will start appearing under 'Build Variants' window.

They didn't. is it because I also have another project included ? It is a multi project build.gradle? – Matei Suica Feb 18 '16 at 07:35
@QuadroQ: gradle build tool is defined in top level build.gradle, you can have multiple modules in the same project. – Bhoot Feb 25 '16 at 09:33
It is defined there, but still can't run them. – Matei Suica Feb 25 '16 at 18:38

added this in the gradle and it fixed the issue for me.

dependencies {
    ...
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

I had to restart IntelliJ after creating the test folders.
