找不到参数的方法compile（）[com.android.support:design:25.1.0]

Question

My code was working before I did some modification in the project structure. I have tried to revert back but I'm still getting the error.

I recently upgraded my Android Support Repository and it worked after the upgrade. My Android Support Repository is version 41.

Error Log:
2017-01-27 11:03:03,550 [  74030]   WARN - nal.AbstractExternalSystemTask - Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:design:25.1.0] on DefaultExternalModuleDependency{group='com.android.support', name='appcompat-v7', version='25.1.0', configuration='default'} of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dependencies.DefaultExternalModuleDependency.

*Please install the Android Support Repository from the Android SDK Manager.

You lost some newline characters in your build file.

The following:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    //support library
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$supportLibraryVersion" compile "com.android.support:design:$supportLibraryVersion" compile "com.android.support:support-v4:$supportLibraryVersion" compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:$supportLibraryVersion" compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:$okHttpVersion" compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:$okHttpVersion" compile "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:$picassoVersion" compile "com.jakewharton.picasso:picasso2-okhttp3-downloader:$okHttp3DownloaderVersion"
    //firebase
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:$firebaseVersion" compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:$firebaseVersion" compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:$firebaseVersion" compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:$firebaseVersion"
    //firebase ui
    compile "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:$firebaseUiVersion" compile "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:$firebaseUiVersion" compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:$playServicesVersion" compile "me.dm7.barcodescanner:zbar:$barcodeScannerVersion" compile "com.segunfamisa:icicle:$icicleVersion" apt "com.segunfamisa:icicle-processor:$icicleVersion" testCompile "junit:junit:$junitVersion" androidTestCompile("com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:$espressoVersion", {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.0.0'
    compile 'org.ocpsoft.prettytime:prettytime:4.0.0.Final'
}

should probably be:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    //support library
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$supportLibraryVersion"
    compile "com.android.support:design:$supportLibraryVersion"
    compile "com.android.support:support-v4:$supportLibraryVersion"
    compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:$supportLibraryVersion"
    compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:$okHttpVersion"
    compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:$okHttpVersion"
    compile "com.squareup.picasso:picasso:$picassoVersion"
    compile "com.jakewharton.picasso:picasso2-okhttp3-downloader:$okHttp3DownloaderVersion"
    //firebase
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:$firebaseVersion"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:$firebaseVersion"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:$firebaseVersion"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:$firebaseVersion"
    //firebase ui
    compile "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:$firebaseUiVersion"
    compile "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:$firebaseUiVersion"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:$playServicesVersion"
    compile "me.dm7.barcodescanner:zbar:$barcodeScannerVersion"
    compile "com.segunfamisa:icicle:$icicleVersion"
    apt "com.segunfamisa:icicle-processor:$icicleVersion"
    testCompile "junit:junit:$junitVersion"
    androidTestCompile("com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:$espressoVersion", {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.0.0'
