Android Studio 3.0 "JUnit version 3.8 or later expected"

Question

tried to follow this and this but without any luck.

I am using Android studio 3.0 and junit 4.12. Windows 10.

What I have tried:

1. move the junit dependency up (tried test compilation and implementation scope)
2. delete the tests in Run - Edit configurations... - remove all under Android JUnit and Android App

My graddle looks like this:

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

dependencies {
    implementation project(':domain')
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompileOnly 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testImplementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-test-junit:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxkotlin:2.1.0'
    testImplementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
    testImplementation 'com.nhaarman:mockito-kotlin:1.1.0'
    testImplementation 'org.amshove.kluent:kluent:1.14'
    implementation 'com.google.api.client:google-api-client-repackaged-com-google-common-base:1.2.3-alpha'
    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.3.0'
    implementation 'com.jakewharton.retrofit:retrofit2-rxjava2-adapter:1.0.0'
}

My test looks like this:

package ***.roompanel.data;

import com.google.gson.FieldNamingStrategy;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.TypeAdapterFactory;
import ***.roompanel.data.RestApi.ApiFieldNamingStrategy;
import ***.roompanel.data.RestApi.ApiGsonBuilder;
import ***.roompanel.data.RestApi.ApiItemTypeAdapterFactory;
import ***.roompanel.data.RestApi.ApiService;
import ***.roompanel.data.RestApi.IApiService;
import ***.roompanel.data.repository.EventRepository;
import ***.roompanel.domain.model.event.Event;
import ***.roompanel.domain.repository.IEventRepository;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull;


public class EventRepositoryTest {
    IEventRepository repo;

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        TypeAdapterFactory typeAdatperFactory = new ApiItemTypeAdapterFactory(); // system to
        FieldNamingStrategy fieldNamingStrategy = new ApiFieldNamingStrategy();
        Gson gson = new ApiGsonBuilder(typeAdatperFactory, fieldNamingStrategy).build();

        IApiService service = new ApiService(gson);
        this.repo = new EventRepository(service);
    }

    @Test
    public void events_void_success() throws Exception {
        Date start = new Date(2017,10,01);
        Date end = new Date(2017,10,12);

        List<Event> events = (List<Event>) repo.load(start, end);

        assertNotNull(events);
    }
}

UPDATE:

./gradlew test

Answer 1

This is not the solution, just a messy workaround (since it took too much time to solve it):

Uninstall and install the android studio 3.0 again. Do not update the kotlin plugin and the android studio to newer versions.
