As Peter suggested in the comment to declare the sourceSets inside the android { .... }.
It worked for me.
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
sourceSets {
instrumentTest.setRoot('src/test')
}
}
