Android Espresso Issue - Dependency conflict

Question

I\'m trying to integrate espresso into my application for ui testing. Here are my dependencies in Gradle

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: \'libs\', inclu         


        

Answer 1

The problem is in this file: android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\test\runner\0.3\runner-0.3.pom

here:

<dependency>
      <groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
      <artifactId>support-annotations</artifactId>
      <version>22.2.0</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

if you set 22.2.1 instead 22.2.0 it will work

Answer 2

So after a lot of digging around, I found I needed to change the dependency for the support annotations.

So I needed to change compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:22.2.0' to androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:22.+'
