Android :connectedAndroidTest can't find symbol .. -> BuildConfigField gradle

I've set up some custom build tasks with gradle(Android Project), now those tasks work fine. Example of this task:

TEST {
    buildConfigField "String", "KEY", "\"..\""
    buildConfigField "String", "CLIENT_ID", "\"\""
    buildConfigField "String", "PROTOCOL_VERSION", "\"5.0.0\""
    buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_ENVIRONMENT", "\"..\""
    buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_COUNTRY", "\"..\""

    debuggable true
    jniDebuggable true
    signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
}

Now the problem is, that when I run the predefined task connectedAndroidTest it complains about missing variables in the code, which are the BuildConfigFields that aren't recognised. So my question how to work around this problem?

Thanks,

Define variables for debug buildType (just for debug builds)):

buildTypes {
    debug {
        buildConfigField "String", "KEY", "\"..\""
        buildConfigField "String", "CLIENT_ID", "\"\""
        buildConfigField "String", "PROTOCOL_VERSION", "\"5.0.0\""
        buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_ENVIRONMENT", "\"..\""
        buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_COUNTRY", "\"..\""
    }
}

or in defaultConfig (for all builds):

defaultConfig {
    buildConfigField "String", "KEY", "\"..\""
    buildConfigField "String", "CLIENT_ID", "\"\""
    buildConfigField "String", "PROTOCOL_VERSION", "\"5.0.0\""
    buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_ENVIRONMENT", "\"..\""
    buildConfigField "String", "BACKEND_COUNTRY", "\"..\""
}
