Android Espresso: “Test not found,” “Process crashed,”

Question

When testing my Android application using Espresso, I noticed that running AndroidTest configured with All in Moduledoes not find tests, and the launch All in Packageis successful.

I created the following reproducible case:

• Using the wizard to create a new clean application using minSdk 8 and an empty action
• Configure gradle on espresso dependencies etc. (see below)
• Create AndroidTest Run Configurationwith option All in Moduleand one withAll in Package
• Add a class with tests (see below)
• Run from All in Package: test passed
• Running from All in Module: no tests found

Starting with All in Moduleworked fine until a few days ago. The changes that I recall are upgrading Android Studio to 1.4 and updating Android Support Libraryto 23.1.0 and Android Support Repository24.0.0.

Btw. well gradlew connectedCheckand gradlew createDebugAndroidTestCoverageReportdo not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?

build.gradle for the application:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.xyz.apptest"
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        debug {
            testCoverageEnabled true
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'

    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.1') {
        // Necessary if your app targets Marshmallow (since Espresso
        // hasn't moved to Marshmallow yet)
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }

        // hasn't moved to Marshmallow yet)
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'

    }
}

Test.java

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class Test1 {

    @Rule
    public ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> activityTestRule =
            new ActivityTestRule<>(MainActivity.class, true, false);

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        activityTestRule.launchActivity(new Intent());
    }

    @After
    public void cleanUp() {
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
    }
}

A launch window will open:
