I get this error every time i am trying to add dependency of Esspreso UI test library by the following dependency to use it in developing UI test for RecyclerView to get RecyclerViewActions.
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.2'
while deleting previous dependency gradle is building perfectly can anyone help me selving this problem?? Sample from my gradle :
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.3.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.3.1'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.6.0'
compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.0.0-RC0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.6.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.6.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.0.0-RC0'
compile 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:r2.2.0'
androidTestCompile( 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
androidTestCompile( 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test:runner:0.5', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-web:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
androidTestCompile( 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
}
Update
After googling for an hour I found the solution within Vogella by setting this dependency as following:
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
exclude module: 'recyclerview-v7'
}
