ContextCompat not found

Question

I use the below in my code:

ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE)

In my gradle I have:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'

Everything was working fine and the builds were triggering, however suddenly my builds are failing with the below error:

 error: package android.support.v4.content does not exist

in the import statement :android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat

Can someone please help out. Since this is happening on a build machine I dont have android studio in it.
