Android: package com.wix.detox does not exist even though it is added under dependencies

[rikardwissing]

I've followed the instructions on https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/master/docs/Introduction.Android.md

But when I am trying to build the project i get the following error:

/Users/rikardwissing/Documents/GitHub/ttmobile/android/app/src/main/java/com/teamtailor/DetoxTest.java:3: error: package com.wix.detox does not exist
import com.wix.detox.Detox;

 ...

I have added the following to my app build.gradle in the dependencies block:

    androidTestImplementation('com.wix:detox:+') { transitive = true }
    androidTestImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

My buildcommand is as follows:

cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug && cd ..

It seems to me that androidTestImplementation is not including the modules in the project. If I change it to implementation it compiles as it should.

Any idea why androidTestImplementation does not work?
