Cannot Run robotium tests after save

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.create, save and finish test
2.right click on test and click run
3.fail

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
my test class runs

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
robotium-solo-5.3.2-SNAPSHOT.jar

Please provide any additional information below.
At first i was getting file duplication errors so i added the following to my 
gradle build

    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    }

Now im getting the following error 

Running tests
Test running startedTest running failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 
'java.lang.RuntimeException'
Empty test suite.

update. the test is saved into the generated AndroidTest folder, but i set the 
androidTestRoot in build.gradle to the following.    

sourceSets {
        androidTest.setRoot('src/test')
    }

and i move the test into that folder, delete the generated androidTest folder 
and correct the references to the android R file.

Still get the duplication error after that. 

when i add the following code to build.gradle the error disappears
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    }

when i run the tests then, the following error appears.

I kind of figured it out. 

Im also running robolectric and have the following dependencies in my 
build.gradle file

dependencies {
    androidTestCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
    androidTestCompile ('com.jayway.android.robotium:robotium-solo:5.0.1')
    androidTestCompile ('org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4') {
        exclude group: 'commons-logging', module: 'commons-logging'
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient'
    }
    androidTestCompile 'com.squareup:fest-android:1.0.8'

    compile 'com.splunk.mint:mint:3.5'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3'
    compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.8.1'
    compile 'com.nostra13.universalimageloader:universal-image-loader:1.8.6'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:6.5.87'
}

I needed to add an exclude  to com.squareup:fest-android:1.0.8 to remove the 
noClassDefFound error like so.

androidTestCompile('com.squareup:fest-android:1.0.8') {
    exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Now my tests run. 

But i still need the following lines:

   packagingOptions {
        exclude 'LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    }

no idea why
