Answer 1

I think I found the best solution to this issue. For some reason the jacoco-agent.jar does not get included by default and it has the Offline.class that can't be found. You simply need to add the dependency for the agent. However, make sure it is the exact same version as the version of the jacoco plugin you are using since the end package Offline.class is found in is a commit hash. Here is what I am doing:

compile 'org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.9'

compile 'org.jacoco:org.jacoco.agent:0.7.9:runtime'

Answer 3

There was a bug report filed: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=220640

This looks to be a problem with jacoco versions. You'll need to update your jacocoversion to 0.7.6.201602180812.

To quote from the issue:

The jacoco plugin version was bumped from 0.7.4.201502262128 to 0.7.6.201602180812 between 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 which is the likely cause of this issue.

In 2.2 it is 0.7.5.201505241946.

It also looks like one possible error might be related to Google Play Services. There are temporary workarounds for the time being.

Option 1: Comment out testCoverageEnabled true.

buildTypes {
    debug {
        // testCoverageEnabled true
    }
}

Option 2: Using Instant Run also seems to solve this problem.
