Android gradle Error:(69, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'

Question

I'm having this very frustrating issue with my build.gradle file. It started when I decided to add new library to my project: "Deter-master" lib.

This is the error message:

Gradle sync failed: Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0] on DefaultExternalModuleDependency{group='com.android.support', name='support-v13', version='25.0.0', configuration='default'} of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dependencies.DefaultExternalModuleDependency. Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

Below you can see all gradle files:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

ext {
    libraries = [
            support : "25.0.0",
            location: "9.8.0"
    ]
}
def config = project.ext.libraries

    mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

    maven {
        url 'https://dl.bintray.com/blipinsk/maven/'
    }
}

    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.airnauts.kaktus"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

        }
        release {

    }

        }
    }
}

android {

        exclude 'LICENSE.txt'
    }
}

    compile 'com.karumi:dexter:4.1.0'
    compile project('Libraries:Dexter-master')
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Another part:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And the last one:

include ':app'
include ':app:Libraries:Dexter-master'

Try replacing:

compile "com.android.support:support-v13:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:support-v4:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:design:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${config.support}" compile "com.android.support:percent:${config.support}" compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:${config.location}" compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:${config.location}"

with:

compile "com.android.support:support-v13:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:design:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:${config.support}"
compile "com.android.support:percent:${config.support}"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:${config.location}"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:${config.location}"
