Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/test/espresso/contrib/DrawerActions

Question

when trying to migrate to espresso 2.1 I hit the following road-block

com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/test/espresso/contrib/DrawerActions$1;
    at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.readSortableTypes(DexMerger.java:596)
    at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.getSortedTypes(DexMerger.java:554)

    at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:215)
    at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106)

but I only see one source for this:

 androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.1'

any hint on how to solve this? This is the dependency tree:

I added the dependency tree - unfortunately I cannot post the build.gradle — ligi, Apr 29 '15 at 14:09
When you say migrate to espresso 2.1, is that from 2.0? When did this start? — Jared Burrows, Apr 29 '15 at 14:16
Have you tried both suggestions in that link? That user had a similar issues when upgrading as well. Try BOTH of his solutions. — Jared Burrows, Apr 29 '15 at 14:21
You can't show the `build.gradle` and not you can't use espresso 2.0? You haven't even "used" it yet, you just upgraded to it. — Jared Burrows, Apr 29 '15 at 14:25
@JaredBurrows not sure what you want to tell me - but here is a bit more background: https://plus.google.com/+misterligi/posts/EzCybiqDxft — ligi, Apr 29 '15 at 14:30
ah it is only in my android circles - now you are part of ti and should be able to read it — ligi, Apr 29 '15 at 14:34
I commented. The source is included in "source.jar"s. So you have not tried espresso 2.0 because you think it does not support ham crest 1.3? — Jared Burrows, Apr 29 '15 at 14:39
@JaredBurrows at this point in time the source was not available - and I tried 2.0 but it does not work with 2.0 - Stephan Linzner ( google ) was saying 2.1 could become 1.3 compatible - that's why I tried it out — ligi, Apr 29 '15 at 15:09
Alright, I'll keep following, I want to learn why this is not working for you. — Jared Burrows, Apr 29 '15 at 15:11

small world ;)

This DexException of Multiple dex files are caused indirectly by espresso-contrib:2.1, the real root cause is com.android.support.test:runner:0.2, which has some other sub-dependencies.

Removing test:runner works for me.

While there is another post saying it's because of com.android.support:support-v4, in your case, it's 22.0.0 for the test, and maybe your app module is using different version. So I tried to do:

androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.1') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
    exclude module: 'support-annotations'
}

but it doesn't work at all.

so your answer is something that actually does not work... – Ovidiu Latcu May 14 '15 at 09:33

@OvidiuLatcu I'm just trying to analyze the problem, write down the clues and what is working or not. Even if it doesn't work, it might still be helpful. – Jing Li May 14 '15 at 09:53
@JingLi What? That is a terrible reason. – Jared Burrows May 31 '15 at 02:00
Sorry @JaredBurrows, but what is a terrible reason? – Jing Li May 31 '15 at 14:02
Please keep comments to a minimum on StackOverflow. You want to add answers that are related to the question, which you did. I said it was a "terrible reason" because you said "Even if it doesn't work, it might still be helpful." which means you didn't even try **your own answer**. – Jared Burrows May 31 '15 at 14:28

Please read my original answer, I said "but it doesn't work at all.", why did you say "I didn't even try my own answer"? – Jing Li May 31 '15 at 14:31
