No output of type SPLIT_LIST after update gradle to 3.0.0-alpha5

Question

After update gradle to 3.0.0-alpha5 my project can't sync gradle.

I received this message:

Gradle sync failed: No output of type: SPLIT_LIST

and in idea.log something about my release variant:

Variant 'release' has no output with type 'SPLIT_LIST'

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled true
        shrinkResources true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Answer 1

The problem is with shrinkResources config. Removing it is temporary solution for now. Unfortunately I didn't find any info about deprecation of that so I think it's a bug.
