Configuration: com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0, buildToolsVersion 23.0.2, gradle 2.4

Cannot figure out whats wrong happening. It used to work and configuration wasn't change for ages. Please help.

Answer 1

You can try to uncheck test artifacts option inside:

Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> Experimental -> Enable all test artifacts in Android projects

Answer 2

I think actual reason on different version: compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1" relate to the same version for dependencies compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'

is ok.
