snakeyaml-1.27-android.jar not found error while running tests

Question

./gradlew test

Task :compileTestJava FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileTestJava'.
> Could not find snakeyaml-1.27-android.jar (org.yaml:snakeyaml:1.27).
  Searched in the following locations:
      file:/Users/user/.m2/repository/org/yaml/snakeyaml/1.27/snakeyaml-1.27-android.jar

I get the above error with the following definition in my build.gradle file, trying to exclude from javafaker doesn't help either. What should I do here?

// faker
testImplementation('com.github.javafaker:javafaker:1.0.2')
testImplementation group: 'org.yaml', name: 'snakeyaml', version: '1.27'

Answer 1

In my case, I just deleted snakeyaml dependencies directory manually (*/.m2/repository/org/yaml/snakeyaml), it works.

Answer 2

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.javafaker/javafaker
implementation 'com.github.javafaker:javafaker:1.0.2'

Result: Could not find snakeyaml-1.30-android.jar (org.yaml:snakeyaml:1.30). Searched in the following locations: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/yaml/snakeyaml/1.30/snakeyaml-1.30-android.jar

Solution: Use dataFaker instead of javaFaker that will resolve all the issues, like so:

// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.datafaker/datafaker
implementation 'net.datafaker:datafaker:1.5.0'
