I followed the instruction here to add an instrumentation test, but unfortunately Android Studio complains about the classes from the test runner package (com.android.support.test:runner:0.5) or test rules or espresso-core (cannot find symbol). If I change the dependency type from androidTestCompile to compile, the errors disappear. I created an instrumentation run config, and currently that run config is selected.
EDIT: Here is our Gradle build file:

I've spent about a day on this myself and finally figured it out. This is an Android Studio feature - termed a feature, but I'd consider it a bug.
To get instrumentation tests working, you need to set your Build Variants to the following:
Test Artifact: Android Instrumentation Tests
Build Variant: debug
See here for more details
I personally think is makes no sense; it's not like you're using androidTestCompileDebug, and running gradle <app_name>:dependencies repeatedly shows pulling in androidTestCompile dependencies, regardless of the build variant. But for some reason, they only resolve in debug.
I hope this helps.
