I had several problems with tests stuck while migrating to Gradle 5. Some reports went from 

GC overhead limit exceeded

to tests even being deadlocked. What solved my problem, apart from increasing 1g heap to 8g with

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx8g -XX\
  \:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+UseCompressedOops -Dfile\
  .encoding=UTF-8

was to disable binary resources for Robolectric

android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources=false

since my project would not support it. Those lines should be settle under gradle.properties file.

I also suggest to invalidate caches & restart Android Studio, clean project, etc, after setting those configs and before running your gradle tasks again.

Try adding this to your gradle.properties:

        org.gradle.daemon=true
        org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
        org.gradle.parallel=true
        org.gradle.configureondemand=true
