Tests for Android do not run on devices below 5 (API 21) NoClassDefFoundError

Question

I am trying to run Instrumental tests for my project. But they do not work on devices (emulators) that have a version below 5 (API 21).

I am trying to solve this problem, but still run into it. I get the following exception.

I have already tried all the solutions for such issues.

This is what my project structure looks like.

And gradle dependencies for tests

  /************* TEST STUFF ***************/
    androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestCompile fileTree(include: ['robotium-solo-5.5.2.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    //mockito dependencies
    androidTestCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.7.6'
    androidTestCompile files('libs/dexmaker-mockito-1.0.jar')
    androidTestCompile files('libs/dexmaker-1.0.jar')

    // Set this dependency to build and run Espresso tests
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:+') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }

    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.5') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }
    // Set this dependency to use JUnit 4 rules
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:+') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-intents:+') {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }
    //MockWebServer - Version 2.2 of mockwebserver doesn't work because of an issue, so forcing v2.1 - https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/1069
    androidTestCompile('com.squareup.okhttp3:mockwebserver:+') {
        exclude module: 'okhttp'
    }
    androidTestCompile "org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.12"
    //WireMock
    androidTestCompile("com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock:2.5.0") {
        //Using Android Version Instead
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'

        //Version conflict with our app slf4j version
        exclude group: 'org.slf4j', module: 'slf4j-api'

        //Was getting a classpath conflict for org.objectweb.asm.AnnotationVisitor which is a part of 'net.minidev:asm'
        exclude group: 'org.ow2.asm', module: 'asm'

        //Was getting this warning, so decided to ignore this version included by WireMock.
        //Warning:Dependency org.json:json:20090211 is ignored as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.
        //In case of problem, please repackage with jarjar to change the class packages
        exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
    }
    androidTestCompile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'

And BaseTestClasshave the following structure

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public abstract class InstrumentalSuperTest {

    private SystemAnimations mSystemAnimations;

    @Rule
    public IntentsTestRule rule = provideActivity();

    @Rule
    public WireMockRule wireMockRule = new WireMockRule(WireMockConfiguration.wireMockConfig().port(BuildConfig.PORT), false);

    protected abstract IntentsTestRule provideActivity();

}

And this happens not only with my project, but also with Wiremock examples , the same error.

Perhaps I am starting the test incorrectly, I just click on the test class and select Run ... Test.

Help solve this problem, I have no idea what is wrong.
