NoClassDefFoundError in project which uses Dagger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Project uses these dependencies for tests:

Instructions used for build configuration: 
https://code.google.com/p/android-test-kit/wiki/EspressoSetupInstructions

dependencies {
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.squareup.dagger'
    }
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:testing-support-lib:0.1'
}

Also I tried without excluding 'com.squareup.dagger'

After I run tests i get `java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError` and it seems like 
Dagger didn't generate needed classes:

 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/*/*/a/*AppModule$$ModuleAdapter$ProvideApplicationProvidesAdapter
            at com.*.*.a.*AppModule$$ModuleAdapter.getBindings(*AppModule$$ModuleAdapter.java:28)
            at com.*.*.a.*AppModule$$ModuleAdapter.getBindings(*AppModule$$ModuleAdapter.java:13)
            at dagger.ObjectGraph$DaggerObjectGraph.makeGraph(ObjectGraph.java:185)
            at dagger.ObjectGraph$DaggerObjectGraph.access$000(ObjectGraph.java:138)
            at dagger.ObjectGraph.create(ObjectGraph.java:129)
            at com.*.*.a.*Application.buildObjectGraphAndInject(*Application.java:30)
            at com.*.*.a.*Application.onCreate(*Application.java:26)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Tests run corretly.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.0'
'com.android.support.test:testing-support-lib:0.1'

Please provide any additional information below.

Tests run corretly if I use these dependencies instead:

    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:testing-support-lib:0.1'
    androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1'
    androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1'
    androidTestCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1'
    androidTestCompile 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'
    androidTestCompile files('testLibs/espresso-core-2.0.jar')
    androidTestCompile files('testLibs/espresso-contrib-2.0.jar')
