In AGP 4.1, tests can no longer access their own R files.

See attached project for repro. When built using AGP 4.0.1, ./gradlew connectedCheck runs fine. But if you upgrade to AGP 4.1.0-beta05, you get this compiler error:

Hi there, thank you for reporting the issue.
I verified that the R class is being generated, the issue is that in the build.gradle a custom package was declared using "testApplicationId 'com.trello.myapplication.tests'". Normally this should work, but for some reason, this made the R class disappear from the classpath (even though it was still generated).
If you remove the custom package for android test (above), the default package will be "com.trello.myapplication.test" (note the singular "test" not "tests"), and if you update the Java/Kotlin code to reference this R class, the tests are passing correctly.

Is this going to be fixed, or should we just change the test application ID to match convention?

Oh, also, worth noting that I tried the workaround and it does work now.

Marked as fixed.

This (and the related issue

https://issuetracker.google.com/164163031) have been fixed and will be released in the next AGP release (4.2.0-alpha10), and have also been cherry picked into 4.1
