Dagger code giving NoClassDefFoundError when Espresso Tests are run, normal run works fine

Issue

Started exploring Espresso 2.0, but seem to have run into a hiccup. I cannot get the tests to successfully run against any project which includes Dagger. When I run the tests I get the following Exception (entire stacktrace at the end):

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pdt/daggerexample/model/DaggerExampleAppModule$$ModuleAdapter$ProvideMySingletonProvidesAdapter

The application runs when not running from the AndroidInstrumentationTest.

Here are some of the relevant files, I've also uploaded the project to github to allow for a quicker checkout/reproduction https://github.com/paul-turner/espressoDaggerExample.

Solution

This issue had me for a bit. You likely need to exclude javax.inject from the espresso dependency. Earlier versions of Android appear to be less tolerant of identical dependencies.

Something along the lines of:

androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.0') {
    exclude group: 'javax.inject'
}

Beware that this can bite you all over the place. The emulator device logs have some useful hints about where the collisions are taking place. E.g.:

(Ldagger/internal/Binding; had used a different Ljavax/inject/Provider; during pre-verification) 

or

DexOpt: not resolving ambiguous class 'Ljunit/framework/TestSuite;'
