    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'

CodePudding user response：

You have to define your lifecycle_version.

dependencies {
        //Define your version here
        def lifecycle_version = "2.5.1"

        implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel:$lifecycle_version"
        annotationProcessor "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycle_version"
    //Other Dependencies

}
