Android-runtime: Build error: gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Created on 8 Sep 2016 · 29Comments · Source: NativeScript/android-runtime

Hi,
After a few months of doing other projects and enjoying the summer I decided to get back to work on my Nativescript project. Reading the documentation, I decided to update to version 2.2.1. Armed with the update manual I followed the instuctions. But when building my project for the first time I noticed a build error: /gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Reading similar issues on stackoverflow.com and here I tried several options to resolve the issue, but no luck so far. Things I tried:

Instructions on Android plugins and Windows path size issues
Removing and adding the android platform (tns platform remove android, tns platform add android)
Removing the node_modules folder
Updating the Andoid SDK
gradlew clean in folder /platforms/android

Nothing helped. Anyone for a good hint?

Version numbers:
tns: 2.2.1
Cross-platform modules: 2.2.1
Package.json of project:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "nl.progig.handsonlifesupport",
    "tns-android": {
      "version": "2.2.0"

}

Builds the project for Android and produces an APK that you can manually deploy on device or in the native emulator.

### Options

    * --compileSdk - Sets the Android SDK that will be used to build the project.
    * --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --copy-to - Specifies the file path where the built .apk will be copied. If it points to a non-existent directory, it will be created. If the specified value is directory, the original file name will be used.

### Attributes
<API Level> is a valid Android API level. For example: 22, 23.

@cesarvega looks like you have a faulty archive of the gradle wrapper, it happens at times as a result of poor connection. Navigate to your %USER_HOME%.gradle/ and delete the wrapper/dists/gradle-2.10-bin directory to allow the wrapper to be redownloaded.

Hi @progig,
The error you're seeing:

Class com.tns.TypeIDs conflict: 
build\intermediates\exploded-aar\nativescript\jars\classes.jar and
build\intermediates\exploded-aar\AppCompanyName\runtime\unspecified\jars\classes.jar

means you have two competing jars. Try searching for nativescript.jar and if you find it delete it and run the build again.

It would be really helpful if you to send us a way to reproduce your problem so we can help you. For future reference please follow the issue template we provided to help us help you.

Plamen5kov on 12 Sep 2016

Hi Plamen5kov,

Thanks for responding. I searched for nativescript.jar on my machine, but couldn't find it.

To reproduce the problem, upgrade nativescript from version 1.7 to 2.2.1 and try to (re)build an existing project with tns build android

I also tried to build the old version of sample-Groceries I had on disk, same problem occurred. After deleting it and cloning it again (newest version) , it built just fine.

progig on 12 Sep 2016

Sorry @progig, I couldn't reproduce your problem. The steps I followed wre:

tns create oldapp (using cli 1.7.0)
cd oldapp
tns paltform add android (using cli 1.7.0)
tns build android (using cli 2.2.1)

I successfully reproduced your problem only when I forcefully moved the /platforms/android/libs/nativescript.jar into the new project template by doing:

tns create oldapp (using cli 1.7.0)
cd oldapp
tns paltform add android (using cli 2.2.1)
cp nativescript.jar ./platforms/android/ (nativescript jar came from the 1.7.0 template)
tns build android (using cli 2.2.1)

That means you have a nativescript.jar or classes.jar leftover in platforms/android or node_modules folder.

How you can try and fix this issue?

Try searching nativescript.jar inside of your projects folder and delete it.
Try to find which two jars contain: com.tns.TypeIDs class and remove the file not in /pltforms/android/ folder.
Provide us with a sample repo that reproduces the problem, so we can figure it out.

Plamen5kov on 12 Sep 2016

@Plamen5kov, thanks for taking the time to help me.

That means you have a nativescript.jar or classes.jar leftover in platforms/android or node_modules folder.

How can that be? I've removed both the platforms/android and node_modules folder with tns platform remove android and rm -Rf node_modules before building.

Try searching nativescript.jar inside of your projects folder and delete it.

I couldn't find such a file on my machine

Try to find which two jars contain: com.tns.TypeIDs class and remove the file not in /pltforms/android/ folder.

I tried to find that class in the jars in my project folder, but there's no such class in the jar files I found.

Provide us with a sample repo that reproduces the problem, so we can figure it out.

Please see the attachment for the repo
holsa-app.zip

progig on 12 Sep 2016

@Plamen5kov
FYI and what it's worth: after building I see 2 different classes.jar files of different size:
/platforms/android/src/F0/widgets-release.aar size: 86.562 bytes
/platforms/android/libs/runtime-libs/nativescript.aar size: 86.424 bytes

progig on 12 Sep 2016

@progig I was able to reproduce this erroneous behavior - as it turns out, you had the android runtime as both a platform, and a dependency of your project.

A simple way to fix this is to delete "tns-android": "^2.2.0" from your dependencies object in your package.json.

Make sure to delete both node_modules and the platforms dirs before running your app to remove any leftovers of the faulty module.

@Pip3r4o
Thanks! You made my day!
Still I wonder how "tns-android": "^2.2.0"ended up as a dependency object in my package.json.
I'm pretty sure I didn't put it there myself...

progig on 13 Sep 2016

I have the same issue and deleting is not ficing it for me "nativescript": {
"id": "org.nativescript.HelloWorld",
"tns-android": {
"version": "2.5.0"
}

@cesarvega had the same problem just now. Used the sdk 22 with nativescript 2.5.0. Did what @Pip3r4o said but had the same exact problem. No problems building for sdk 23.

Dimitrievskislavcho on 25 Apr 2017

@Dimitrievskislavcho What cesarvega described has little to do with the sdk used to build a project.

As for the gradle.bat exited with error code 1 - this is the generic message output whenever an android build fails.

i redownloaded the wrapper but nothing change !! the same error again

khalkhaloud on 28 Apr 2017

@khalkhaloud Unfortunately corrupted gradle wrapper archives is not something that we can fix, since we do not manage them - https://discuss.gradle.org/t/making-the-wrapper-more-resilient-to-corrupted-downloads/22066/4. Gradle are aware of these issues, and are working on resolving them.

Your best bet is to try to redownload the wrapper multiple times, or follow the gradle wrapper guidelines at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html.

If you wish to, you could also install the release candidate version 3.0 tns platform add android@rc which distributes a different version of the gradle wrapper. We cannot guarantee however that the wrapper package will be valid.

petekanev on 28 Apr 2017

I had the same issue and with gradle 3.3. Apparently, when I installed nativescript cli it wasn't downloaded properly. To fix the problem I removed entire folder .grandle in my USER_HOME directory and run the command 'tsn run' again. It downloaded new gradle and it works just fine now.

I'll remove the nativescript-google-maps-sdk plugin and try with the other one...

Hi @wa05 , I think I have found a solution, but I have to try more deeply.
Steps

1) npm run clean
2) template\app\App_Resources\Android\app.gradle


android {
  compileSdkVersion 26
  buildToolsVersion "26.0.0-beta2"
  defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
    generatedDensities = []
    applicationId = "XXX"
  }
  aaptOptions {  
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"  
  }  
}

Being XXX whatever you have.
As you can see, I have added compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion. Also multiDexEnabled because with SDK a new error appears.
Try it!

I continue having the same error

I still have this issue. I can't build for android. I've tried all the solutions above. Any idea?
