React-native-navigation: Could not find method testImplementation()

[gusilveiramp]

Issue Description

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where:
Script 'C:xampphtdocswixV2node_modulesreact-native-navigationlibandroidprepare-robolectric.gradle' line: 6

What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.

Could not find method testImplementation() for arguments [org.khronos:opengl-api:gl1.1-android-2.1_r1] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Attempts:
I have already updated my android studio and all dependencies. I also tried the following:
Accessing "node_modules\react-native-navigation\lib\android\prepare-robolectric.gradle" and modifying line 6 call from: testImplementation "org.khronos:opengl-api:gl1.1-android-2.1_r1" to testCompile "org.khronos:opengl-api:gl1.1-android-2.1_r1", the error of line 6 disappears, but a new error appears in line 35, according to:

unitTests {
      includeAndroidResources = true
}

The error is:
Could not set unknown property 'includeAndroidResources'

Environment

• React Native Navigation version: ^2.0.2048
• React Native version: 0.51.0
• Platform(s) (iOS, Android, or both?): Android
• Device info (Simulator/Device? OS version? Debug/Release?): Samsung Galaxy S7

It seems like the problem for me was that v2 is using a newer gradle plugin version 3.0.1, and since I created my project with an older version, I got the same message Could not find method testImplementation().
I was using react-native 0.47, so I had to upgrade it too (seems like you are already on 0.51). And upgrade all the libraries, and pray for third parties to work, etc.

Also, source code use using Java 8 bytecode, which is not a big deal, you just need to adjust the compileOptions in app/build.gradle.

So, basically this is what I did, and I hope I don’t forget anything.

• update android studio to the latest version
• upgrade android SDK and tools (after upgrading android studio, a window popped up asking to upgrade the SDK, it was 1.35Gb, so you need to be patient). Don’t leave it unattended, it will ask a lot of things…
• Re-check the android installation instructions, specially if you had v1 first, things are a little bit different on v2, so double-check everything. https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/v2/#/docs/installation-android

That involved a lot of time and googling, I wonder if it isn't easier to update react-native and create a new project from scratch and then copy the source over...

[AGurindapalli]

Can you please provide the solution...

I'm using react-native-navigation@alpha version number: ^2.0.2072. Followed the installation steps in from the docs.. faced the above issue..
Platform: Android

[JohnSmith0602]

@fvicente, your updates works perfect, you saved my day, thx!

[guyca]

Thanks a lot @fvicente
I've updated the installation guide according to your post 👍

[vitto-moz]

I've decided to move to react-native-navigation v2 but several packages still need gradle 2.
Any solution here - can I use RNN v2 with gradle 2?

It seems like the problem for me was that v2 is using a newer gradle plugin version 3.0.1, and since I created my project with an older version, I got the same message Could not find method testImplementation().
