Android Gradle Dependency conflict with internal version provided by Android

Question

Possible duplicate of this question , although the solution did not help me.

I hate copy/paste all source code but seems in gradle there is no way :( since this is the 3rd day that gradle staffing me around I put my codes here and my apology for putting so much code...

I have three projects in my main project. Therefore my settings.gradle looks like this:

include ':booking-sdk'
include ':booking-app-lib'
include ':booking-app'

and my main build.gradle (in root of project) looks like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
        classpath 'com.crashlytics.tools.gradle:crashlytics-gradle:1.+'
        classpath 'com.github.jcandksolutions.gradle:android-unit-test:2.1.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'http://download.crashlytics.com/maven' }
        maven { url 'https://zendesk.artifactoryonline.com/zendesk/repo' }
    }
}

ext {
    ANDROID_SUPPORT = 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
    CRASHLYTICS = 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.+'

    androidConfiguration = {
        compileSdkVersion 21
        buildToolsVersion '21.1.2'

        defaultConfig {
            minSdkVersion 14
            targetSdkVersion 21
            testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        }

        packagingOptions {
            exclude 'values/com_crashlytics_export_strings.xml'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
            exclude 'LICENSE.txt'
        }

        lintOptions {
            abortOnError false
            absolutePaths false
            lintConfig file("lint.xml")
        }

        sourceSets {
            main {
                manifest.srcFile 'src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'
                java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
                resources.srcDirs = ['src/main/resources']
                aidl.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
                renderscript.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
                res.srcDirs = ['src/main/res']
                assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets']

                java {
                    exclude 'com/booking_1/passenger/LibraryConfigurationConstants.java'
                    exclude 'com/booking_2/passenger/ProductFlavorConstants.java'
                }
            }
        }

        signingConfigs {
            debug {
                storeFile file("$rootProject.projectDir/debug.keystore")
                storePassword "android"
                keyAlias "androiddebugkey"
                keyPassword "android"
            }

            release {
                storeFile file("$rootProject.projectDir/booking-androd-prod.keystore")
                storePassword System.getenv("PASSWORD")
                keyAlias System.getenv("ALIAS")
                keyPassword System.getenv("PASSWORD")
            }
        }
    }
}

For doing Unit test by Robolectric and Instrument test I am following Decard-Gradle project that I tested and works successfully.

booking-sdk is the project that holds business logic of app. It's structure is like this:

-booking-sdk
-/build
-/src
  - booking_1 (flavour 1)
  - booking_2 (flavour 2)
  - main
  - test
- build.gradle

I have same package name under /src/main/java and /src/test/java . Finally, build.gradle of booking-sdk looks like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android androidConfiguration

android {
    publishNonDefault true

    productFlavors {
        booking_1 { }

        booking_2 { }
    }
}

dependencies {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    compile ANDROID_SUPPORT
    compile CRASHLYTICS
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
    compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.7.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp-urlconnection:2.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0'
    compile 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.5'
    compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.3.2'

    compile files('src/main/libs/GeoPIP4J.jar')

    // Robolectric
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4'
    testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1'
    testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1'
    testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1'

    // TODO: requires special build of robolectric right now. working on this...
    androidTestCompile('org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4') {
        exclude module: 'classworlds'
        exclude module: 'commons-logging'
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'maven-artifact'
        exclude module: 'maven-artifact-manager'
        exclude module: 'maven-error-diagnostics'
        exclude module: 'maven-model'
        exclude module: 'maven-project'
        exclude module: 'maven-settings'
        exclude module: 'plexus-container-default'
        exclude module: 'plexus-interpolation'
        exclude module: 'plexus-utils'
        exclude module: 'wagon-file'
        exclude module: 'wagon-http-lightweight'
        exclude module: 'wagon-provider-api'
    }
}

When I run clean command the result is:

 ./gradlew :booking-sdk:clean

Error happens when I run ./gradlew :passenger-sdk:check code to see unit test result. I'm getting above outputs first then a lot of errors like this:

...
:booking-sdk:compileBookingDebugUnitTestJava                 
/Users/admin/Desktop/android/booking/booking-sdk/src/test/java/com/booking/passenger/db/dao/BookingDAOTest.java:3: error: package com.booking.passenger.db.providers does not exist
import com.booking.passenger.db.providers.BookingContentProvider;

It is basically saying all my imports do not exist while they do exists and I have no error in my code file and all imports recognised by class.

Any Idea would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

OK, Geadle is f*king horrible although is powerful tool.

For your reference if you fall in same trouble this is my experience. Since I'm not sure my findings are absolutely right please correct me if I'm wrong.

• I found that it is not possible to put your test folder under library projects. I wanted to have src/test/java for every project libraries and run my test cases like ./gradlew :booking-sdk:test . However, by moving this package to main application (in my case booking-app ) and also moving related files from build.gradle of booking-sdk to build.gradle of booking-app I could see test case results.
• I found exclude modules from dependencies don't work. The solution that I found is using configuration.

Like this:

configurations {
    all*.exclude module: 'classworlds'
    all*.exclude module: 'commons-logging'
    all*.exclude module: 'httpclient'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-artifact'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-artifact-manager'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-error-diagnostics'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-model'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-project'
    all*.exclude module: 'maven-settings'
    all*.exclude module: 'plexus-container-default'
    all*.exclude module: 'plexus-interpolation'
    all*.exclude module: 'plexus-utils'
    all*.exclude module: 'wagon-file'
    all*.exclude module: 'wagon-http-lightweight'
    all*.exclude module: 'wagon-provider-api'
}

Hope it helps.
