androidTest not compiling, showing cannot resolve symbol

I'm trying to add instrumented test using Espresso in my android project.

I've added all necessary libs, besides adding AndroidJUnitRunner as the testInstrumentationRunner:

app -> build.gradle

But for some reason, the imports are not working in instrumented test file:

androidTest file

But the local test file is getting the imports properly:

local test file

I've also added junit as androidTestImplementation, but makes no difference:

androidTestImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

This is why I cannot run the test file.

If I run the file anyway, I get this error:

Process finished with exit code 1
Class not found: "com.mcp.shippax.MainActivityEspressoTest"Empty test suite.

I cannot understand why this is happening (numerous grade syncs/invalidate caches/restarts), when the setup is so straight and simple.

I don't remember making any project changes other than converting most of my source files to Kotlin, including the test files. But later I reverted the test files back to java again.

I had the same issue. I've had various build types for dev and prod environments and what helped me, was to specify testBuildType like in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/34778780/9736105.

So something like this:

android {

    ...

    testBuildType "<my-build-type>"

    buildTypes {
        <my-build-type> {
            ...  
        }
        ....
    }
}

After I did that and set my build variant to that build type, I was able to resolve all dependecies.
