Android Studio 0.8 beta version - gradle does not support testCompile method

The line of code on GitHub: testCompile 'com.squareup.okhttp:mockwebserver:2.2.0'

Here is the error code: Error:(24, 0) Build script error, unsupported Gradle DSL method found: 'testCompile()'!

All I had to do to resolve was change the line in gradle and resynchronize: compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:mockwebserver:2.2.0'

Thanks for posting this--worked like a charm on 0.8 beta version!

I'm not sure if this is a result of adding this line or if it's something else, but ever since I changed this file to add the compile line, all of my gradle build files have yellow highlights (warnings) throughout them with the note 'dependencies cannot be applied to (Groovy.lang.closure)'. Did that happen to you? If so, were you able to fix it?It looks like its a bug from the .5x days, but I'm not sure if it's going to affect something in my project down the line.
