Gradle not including dependancies

I have the following gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'
  sourceSets {
    unitTest {
        java.srcDir file('src/main/java/com/smartsocialmedia/tests')
        resources.srcDir file('src/main/res/com/smartsocialmedia/tests')
    }
}
  configurations {
    unitTestCompile.extendsFrom runtime
    unitTestRuntime.extendsFrom unitTestCompile
}
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
  android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.0'
      lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
        abortOnError false
    }
      defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 7
        versionName "1.0.5"
        testPackageName "com.smartsocialmedia.tests"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
        //testHandlingProfiling true
        testFunctionalTest true
    }
      buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}
  dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
    compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.1.2@jar'
    compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
    compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.1-with-sources.jar')
      repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    unitTestCompile files("$project.buildDir/classes/release")
    unitTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.10'
    unitTestCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.1.+'
    unitTestCompile 'com.google.android:android:4.0.1.2'
    unitTestCompile 'com.google.android:android-test:4.1.1.4'
    unitTestCompile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.1-with-sources.jar')
    unitTestCompile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.1.2@jar'
    unitTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
}
  task unitTest(type:Test, dependsOn: assemble) {
    testClassesDir = project.sourceSets.unitTest.output.classesDir
    classpath = project.sourceSets.unitTest.runtimeClasspath
}
check.dependsOn unitTest

As you can see it contains a unit test called unitTest. I found making this run in android studio easy enough, but getting gradle to run it is a nightmare. When I attempt to run the unit test gradle will error stating that it can’t find the class I am using (which is part of the default build). How do I just make gradle build my project as usual and run the darn test… this seems like an obvious way of doing things, and yet.

I’m having the exact same problem. Everything is set up correctly…the tests work with the Android Libraries just fine, but if I include the compiled classes from my own project:

unitTestCompile files("$project.buildDir/classes/release") …it doesn’t work…

Always says cannot resolve symbol.

I’m not sure if ‘unitTestCompile files("$project.buildDir/classes/release")’ is the right approach (especially without a task dependency), but since the question is related to the ‘android’ plugin, I’d recommend to ask on the Android list.
