Answer 2

I am not sure about your build.gradle file.
It should work.
testCompile group: 'com.microsoft.sqlserver', name: 'sqljdbc4',
version: '4.0'`
is available in maven repository.
Did you gave
repositories {
mavenCentral();
}
as the repository in your build.gradle file? If you gave this , then it should work.
If it is not working please share your full build.gradle file here, and the error trace so that we can get more idea about your question

Answer 3

To resolve the dependency properly you need to add the maven url where the jar is located at.
Add this under repositories:
maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release/" }
Should look something like this (this declares multiple repositories):
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release/" }
}
