Visual studio app center: appium-test-extension-1.0.jar; error in opening zip file

Question

I was trying to configure my test cases in VSapp center, my tests are written in appium. Followed the following steps:

Step 1# Added the JCenter repository enabled in the build.gradle in my project's root folder. build.gradle file is like following

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Step 2# Added the androidTestCompile('com.microsoft.appcenter:appium-test-extension:1.0') in build.gradle file inside app folder

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'



android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.keya.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-picocontainer:1.2.2'




    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.1'
}

apply plugin: 'maven'

task createPom {
    pom {
        withXml {
            def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')

            //Iterate over the compile dependencies (we don't want the test ones), adding a <dependency> node for each
            configurations.testCompile.allDependencies.each {
                def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', it.group)
                dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', it.name)
                        dependencyNode.appendNode('version', it.version)
            }

            def profilesNode = asNode().appendNode('profiles')
            profilesNode.append(new XmlParser().parse('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/AppCenter-Test-Appium-Java-Extensions/master/gradleuploadprofilesnippet.xml'))
        }
    }.writeTo("pom.xml")}

within this step, everything was successful build was successful but when I was trying to import the following libs

import com.microsoft.appcenter.appium.Factory;
import com.microsoft.appcenter.appium.EnhancedAndroidDriver;

Application failed to import

Step3# I also tried to import the libs using mvn --> This step didnt work.

Application is showing Can not resolve symbol message Can any one suggest me the solution?

Answer 1

Found the solution of the problem, just simply added the jar as library in build path and its working fine
