Manifest merger failed with multiple errors while compiling the project

I'm facing this issue while compiling the project and trying to run the test.

I didn't do any modification. Just open the project and run.

The log is this:

I'm trying to run the test on the class AnimatingCircleTests on the TestingCodelab app.

Any suggestion about how to solve this issue?

I'm having the exact same problem.

@JesusDMedinaC-Bitso
After that, I added androidTestImplementation "androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3" as described in this post, and now I can run TestingCodeLab tests.
I'm having the same problem with the Navigation Codelab tests, but the same method may solve it.

@Corvus400
I wrote a little article that explain how to solve the android gradle setup:
