Android Studio doesn't recognize Espresso classes

Question

I'm running Android Studio 0.5.0 with Gradle 1.11. I'm trying to install Espresso library from com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r2. For some reason AS couldn't recognize Espresso classes after project synchronization. So every time I try to import import static com.google.android.apps.common.testing.ui.espresso.Espresso.onView; inside androidTest folder files it marks it as invalid.

Here's my build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'android'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion '19.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14

        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "com.google.android.apps.common.testing.testrunner.GoogleInstrumentationTestRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.squareup.dagger:dagger-compiler:1.2.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.dagger:dagger:1.2.1'

    androidTestCompile ('com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r2') {
        exclude group: 'com.squareup.dagger'
    }
}

So this is basically a bug with Android Studio (i'm guessing).

Reference:

1. Issue raised in adt-dev groups
2. Actual bug - #66841

Workaround (until the bug is fixed):

Add a duplicate provided dependency in your gradle file like so:

dependencies {
    // ...

    provided 'com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r2'
    androidTestCompile ('com.jakewharton.espresso:espresso:1.1-r2') {
        exclude group: 'com.squareup.dagger'
    }
}
