Android: no `com.wix.detox.config` package

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Hi, I’m having trouble setting up Detox with a brand new RN project (bootstrapped with npx react-native init example).

I’ve created a minimal example: https://github.com/Tommos0/detox-example . After setting up the new project and following the Detox docs, when I try to build:

$ ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug

> Task :app:stripDebugDebugSymbols UP-TO-DATE
Compatible side by side NDK version was not found.

> Task :app:compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac FAILED
/p/example/android/app/src/androidTest/java/com/example/DetoxTest.java:5: error: package com.wix.detox.config does not exist

In my case, I should change order in build.gradle for searching Detox lib localy and after that in other places. So my config looks like that:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }
        
        // Detox
        maven {
          url "$rootDir/../node_modules/detox/Detox-android"
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}
