task 'compileDebug' is ambiguous in root project - android-gradle-plugin

Question

I'm compiling my project for distribution and I've gotten an error.
Here's the error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2
I've gone in and gotten the stacktrace-* Try:
Run gradlew tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.execution.TaskSelectionException: Task 'compileDebug' is ambiguous in root project 'Inspirerr_Final'. Candidates are: 'compileDebugAidl', 'compileDebugAndroidTestAidl', 'compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugAndroidTestNdk', 'compileDebugAndroidTestRenderscript', 'compileDebugAndroidTestSources', 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugNdk', 'compileDebugRenderscript', 'compileDebugSources', 'compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugUnitTestSources'.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Maybe.there are such code in your BuildConfig,
// Fields from build type: debug
public static final boolean ENABLE_DEVELOP_MODE = true;
And you use it in some place.
When you build release, it will dismiss and build failed.
