Solution 1

instrumentTest has been deprecated and does not work with modern Gradle versions - which you probably updated in your project when upgrading Android Studio.

Replace instrumentTest with androidTest and it'll work.

Solution 2

Replace instrumentTest by androidTest as example below

android {
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
    compileSdkVersion 24
    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
            jniLibs.srcDirs = ['libs']
        }

        androidTest.setRoot('tests')
    }
}

Solution 3

Try change distributionUrl in you gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to last vesion:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

clean project and "Invalidate Cache/Restart" in File menu after this

Solution 4

Try with the Android Studio 3.1.2 update, which has a fix for this bug: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/index.html#3-1-0

Solution 5

Just Replace instrumentTest by androidTest

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

      //  instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
        androidTest.setRoot('tests')
    }

I updated the AndroidStudio to version 3.1

Clean Project...

and build failed

The SourceSet 'instrumentTest' is not recognized by the Android Gradle Plugin. Perhaps you misspelled something?

However, the 3.0.1 version of AndroidStudio does not have this problem

Thank you for your answer sincerely.But someone has already answered earlier

I am getting the same error message, but for a different reason. I have a custom source set named commonTest that both unit and UI tests can use so I can share test code. Is this no longer supported?
