Unable to resolve local library dependency on android studio 3.0

When compiling with latest Android Studio 3.0 (gradle 4.1) I get

Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@fullReleasenoproguard/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :aFileChooser.

I fixed it changing in build.gradle from

dependencies {
    compile project(':aFileChooser')
}

to

dependencies {
    implementation project(path: ':aFileChooser', configuration: 'default')
}
