title: File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it
body: <p>I have a project with 1 module and 2 applications. The module is used for code parts that both applications uses. Of course I have separate google-services.json files in the app's root folders.</p>
  
  <p>The build was working very well last Friday.</p>
  
  <p>Now I try to compile and got this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.
  :DoToDoSenderApp:compileDebugSources
  :DoToDoSenderApp:transformClassesWithDexForDebug
  UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
  Error:Execution failed for task ':DoToDoSenderApp:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
  &gt; com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The only informative error message was about this google-services.json file missing in my module root folder. </p>
  
  <p>I don't know what is the problem here?</p>
  
  <p>The module is not an application, why would I have to add a google-services.json file and why it was worked some days ago without modification?</p>
  
  <h2>Edit</h2>
  
  <p>I have made a new Google app in Google API console and added a new google-services.json file even to my module, got the same error.</p>
