After I upgrade my project to AndroidStudio 3.0-beta1, my androidTest files stopped compiling.

A lot of packages are not found, some of them are:

error: package android.support.annotation does not exist
error: cannot find symbol class StringRes
error: cannot access AppCompatActivity
class file for android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity not found

I already added

androidTestCompile "com.android.support:support-annotations:25.3.1"

into build.gradle

But even with this, I have the errors of package not found. I tried running the tests from inside Android Studio and from terminal with ./gradlew connectedCheck

Just add this to your dependencies

implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'
annotationProcessor 'com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler:4.9.0'
implementation "com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0"
annotationProcessor 'com.android.support:support-annotations:28.0.0'
