Google-signin: Execution failed for task ':react-native-google-signin:mergeDebugAndroidTestResources'

[stefan0s]

We are getting this error and seems to be a permission issue but we cannot find a way to bypass that. We are using latest 0.10 version.

Error: Failed to crunch file C:\Projects\Projectnode_modules\react-native-google-signin\android\build\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services-base\10.2.1\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark_normal_background.9.png into C:\Projects\Projectnode_modules\react-native-google-signin\android\build\intermediates\res\merged\androidTest\debug\drawable-hdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark_normal_background.9.png

Any help appreciated.

This is Windows's famous file path character limit issue.

What can I do about this ?

you can change your build directory of your project. In your project-level build.gradle add buildDir definition:

allprojects {
    buildDir = 'C:\\tmp\\'
    repositories {

    }
}
