I'm attempting to set up a unit test module as described in the android studio blog post. However, doing a gradle build fails telling me "Configuration with name 'debug-classes' not found". Debug is the name of the targetVariant it's trying to build, but I don't understand what is going wrong here.
Here's my test module's gradle file.
apply plugin: 'com.android.test'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
targetProjectPath ':app'
targetVariant 'debug'
}
This is the blogpost describing the new test module functionality.

I'm using the Gradle plugin v1.3.0
I was also curious about separating app code and test code and i had hard time to figure it out. I look at the stack trace and found the DependencyManager (line 238) having a TODO to fix that in gradle.
1) You are right about the build flavors.You have to enter the correct variant
targetVariant '<flavor>Debug'
e.g.
targetVariant 'flavor1Debug'
2) You also need to change you targetProjectPath's module build.gradle. Add the following snippet:
android {
// ...
publishNonDefault true
// ...
}
which publishes all build variants! It its disabled by default due to some limitations of gradle.
Here is a sample app that works https://github.com/googlesamples/android-testing-templates/tree/master/AndroidTestingBlueprint
You must use
buildToolsVersion = '23.0.0rc3'
And of course
publishNonDefault true
