JUnit Local Test - 'Unresolved reference: test'

Solution
This appears to be an issue documented in the Android Testing Codelab sample app.
Within the Codelab sample build.gradle this is referred to as a known issue.
// Once https://issuetracker.google.com/127986458 is fixed this can be testImplementation
implementation "androidx.test:core:$androidXTestCoreVersion"
I refactored my app's dependency to `testImplementation` instead of `androidTestImplementation`.
testImplementation 'androidx.test:core:1.2.0'
testImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:truth:1.2.0'
testImplementation 'com.google.truth:truth:0.44'
Note - The Google documentation Set up project for AndroidX Test should be updated to reflect this issue as it currently instructs the developer to use `androidTestImplementation`. I have filed a documentation issue to resolve this.
Problem
Expected Importing libraries such as `androidx.test:core:1.2.0`, `androidx.test.ext:truth:1.2.0`, `com.google.truth:truth:0.44`, and etc. into a local JUnit test class named ExampleUnitTest.kt. Observed Error Unresolved reference: test Implementation ExampleUnitTest.kt ``` import androidx.test.core.app.ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext import com.google.common.truth.Truth.assertThat ```
