The README is misleading here. This feature wasn't part of the 0.12.0 release ( https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric-gradle-plugin/tree/0.12.0 ). You have to wait for the next release to use this feature.

But anyhow: You can remove the whole robolectric { … } DSL part of your build.gradle as this is purely optional to tweak/extend the normal behaviour.

This should be in the current release.
