Android JUnit 4: Library not Recognized

Question

I am following this tutorial to setup JUnit Unit Testing Support

My current Android Studio version is 1.3. When I sync my project, it seems to compile the library with no problems. When I try running my test case, I get gradle compiler error. It seems JUnit is not visible in my test class:

Error:Error:line (4)Gradle: error: package org.junit does not exist
Error:Error:line (6)Gradle: error: package org.junit does not exist
Error:Error:line (7)Gradle: error: package org.junit does not exist
Error:Error:line (8)Gradle: error: package org.junit does not exist
Error:Error:line (11)Gradle: error: cannot find symbol class Test
Error:Error:line (13)Gradle: error: cannot find symbol method assertFalse(boolean)

Here is my Test class located in src/test/java:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

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

public class TestCase {
    @Test
    public void testjUnit(){
        assertFalse(false);
    }
}

Lastly, the dependency in build.grade:

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

Edit:

I ran the command ./gradlew testDebug --info and received a similar error:

6 errors                              
:app:compileDebugJava FAILED          
:app:compileDebugJava (Thread[main,5,main]) completed. Took 0.453 secs.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.

Edit 2:

Here is the stack trace:

Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJava'.

Answer 1

To create the java folder under test, I right clicked on the test folder and selected New > Folder > Java Folder.

When creating the java folder in this way, gradle adds the following line in the build.gradle file:

sourceSets { main { java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java', 'src/test/java/'] } } 

By deleting this line, the tests now run successfully.
