Cannot add a configuration with name 'testCompile' as a configuration with that name already exists

Question

When updating to gradle plugin 1.1.0 I kept getting the following error

Cannot add a configuration with name 'testCompile' as a configuration with that name already exists

I am also using the Robolectric gradle plugin from here, v0.14.0.

The new gradle 1.1.0 plugin adds additional unit test support, so I suspect the gradle and Robolectric plugins are battling for use of 'testCompile,' though I'm not sure how to resolve this.

Answer 1

To fix that issue i did the following:

Added the following to my build gradle script:

 apply plugin: 'org.robolectric'

 dependencies {
    classpath 'org.robolectric:robolectric-gradle-plugin:1.0.0'
 }

This wouldnt work for me with gradle version 1.1.0 though. I had to use 1.1.0-rci which is still only in experimental phase. So i added the following to my project build.gradle:

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0-rc1'
}

Ran sync project with gradle files and the issue was corrected. Hope this helps.
