@CTOaramos looks like potentially sdk version related - when possible could you run this command and post the results:

echo 'y' | npx nativescript-envinfo

[CTOaramos]

Hi, @NathanWalker thank you for the response here it is;

im not sure why is that not found; i have my emulator running from android studio i have downloaded some build tools

heres my zshrc;

i don't know how can i fix that not found issue ;

im just trying to run the hello world template;

what i have tried so far

• test to run on jave version 8, 11, 17
• downgrade nativescript to @8.1
• downgrade node to @14

[CTOaramos]

Hi, @NathanWalker, I have added sdkmanager in the $PATH and the it changed;

but im still getting the error

[CTOaramos]

I downloaded obsolete version of ndk; nativescript-envinfo #android now have all value; but im still getting

This is app is the Hello World template;

[rigor789]

@CTOaramos please share your package.json - we can try reproducing with your dependencies...

But before any of that, please make sure you install the latest cli - seems like you are on 8.1.5.
There were some fixed in 8.2.x cli that would affect the plugin builds.

npm i -g nativescript

[CTOaramos]

Hi, @rigor789 Im running the Hello World template Typescript;

i updated to 8.2.2 still getting error


;

[milosmatic]

I can confirm that I'm getting the same issue on both newly created projects and existing ones.

• node v17.7.1
• npm v8.5.2
• ns v8.2.2

I'm using M1 Mac.

[rigor789]

Please post the stack-trace, so we can do some searching as well - seems to happen for a few people, but not everyone - there must be some correlation between the cases, we just don't know what yet...

Since gradle itself is throwing the error, I believe it to be a gradle bug/issue - that's what I would focus my search on...

[milosmatic]

[rigor789]

Please include it in a textual form - I can't copy it from screenshots.

I couldn't find anything yet - can you run this in a new project, and then zip up the platforms/android folder and share here?

Also try running the build with --log trace and check if perhaps there's more to the stack-trace from gradle - it generally seems like it's trying to read/write a file it has no permission to read/write, but the stack-trace doesn't seem to include the path it's failing on.

[milosmatic]

Here is the trace log https://pastebin.com/7zGtYWBF

[CTOaramos]

Here's mine;

log trace: https://pastebin.com/CU6jmN0m
platforms: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KzIOdnrKv5er8ytlk9Eet_PHR7cqFzqN/view?usp=sharing

[rigor789]

open /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativescript/lib/services/android-plugin-build-service.js and and around line 463 change the following:

try {
    yield this.$childProcess.spawnFromEvent(gradlew, localArgs, "close", {
        cwd: pluginBuildSettings.pluginDir,
        stdio: "inherit",
    });
}
catch (err) {
    this.$errors.fail(`Failed to build plugin ${pluginBuildSettings.pluginName} : \n${err}`);
}

Add a console log right after the try {:

try {
    console.log('gradlew', gradlew);
    console.log('localArgs', localArgs);
    console.log('pluginBuildSettings.pluginDir', pluginBuildSettings.pluginDir);
    
    yield this.$childProcess.spawnFromEvent(gradlew, localArgs, "close", {
        cwd: pluginBuildSettings.pluginDir,
        stdio: "inherit",
    });
// ...

And build again, and let me know what those logs print - I suspect something might be off there - but not sure what, this might help identify the issue.

@rigor789 here is the log after changes https://pastebin.com/KwCLYVRw

@milosmatic when you get a chance could you run the following command and copy/paste the results (not screenshots) including the invocation of the command visible in the output:

echo 'y' | npx nativescript-envinfo

Using the following:
Nativescript cli 8.2.2
Java (OpenJDK) 1.8

Same gradle ENOENT error as above

[CTOaramos]

Reset my mac the 3rd time; still no luck; this was working 2 months ago; the only things that i did that i think that could cause this are;

• downgraded my node to node@14
• downgraded my jdk from 17 - 1.8

i reset my mac and all use all the updated version; still cannot build any plugin (Hello World Template)

[NathanWalker]

@CTOaramos we recommend node 16 or 17 with npm 7 or 8 at least.

[NathanWalker]

@milosmatic only thing that jumps out is build-tools 31 which you have installed is corrupted (something on androids side which was discussed couple months back among the android community: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68387270/android-studio-error-installed-build-tools-revision-31-0-0-is-corrupted) - I would recommend installing build-tools 32 and ensure those are set in your app.gradle for example:

compileSdkVersion 32
buildToolsVersion "32.0.0"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 32

[milosmatic]

I'm getting the same error.

Having the same error as the first post of this thread, line by line. Is everyone in this thread having this issue using a Mac with an M1/M1 pro chip?

[rigor789]

Good news, I am able to reproduce the issue with node installed via Homebrew. I'm looking into it, but in the meantime, you can try installing node with a version manager like nvm, n, volta etc. That seems to work all around...

[rigor789]

I have pushed out a fix that should fix this - please try nativescript@next from npm:

npm i -g nativescript@next

And then build again, and let me know if still running into an issue.

[CTOaramos]

Hi, @rigor789 MAN! YOU ARE A HERO!! Thank you; i was able to build now;

npm i -g nativescript@next does it!;

[matteonatale]

Hi, @rigor789 I had the same issue since this morning (I'm from Italy), then after a npm i -g nativescript@next plugins are built correctly and everything works fine. I'm curious to know where the problem was and how should we handle next versions of nativescript and gradle.

Thanks! 😆

[milosmatic]

@rigor789 I can confirm that the issue is gone. Excellent work!

[rigor789]

Thanks for confirming, will publish a patch release shortly...

As for why this was required, I frankly don't know - but node installed through Homebrew had trouble spawning a relative path command like ./gradlew - it did spawn it - because the process ran and had logs outputting, but node would also throw the ENOENT error. This is not the case with the same node version installed through nvm for example, so it's quite puzzling. The fix I did was to always resolve ./<path> spawns to a full path - which seems to work across all node installations.

@danielritter not sure where that revision string is coming from, but sound like that's the issue

[danielritter]

@rigor789 Thanks, I had to delete the file build-tools_r33.0.2-linux.zip in the build-tools folder, I recently added it there before. Now it can build successfully. Thanks!
