React-native: 'Could not read path' build failed error

[jslok]

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Environment

1. react-native -v: 0.47.2
2. node -v: 8.1.2
3. npm -v: 5.3
4. yarn --version : 0.27.5

Then, specify:

• Target Platform: Android

• Development Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit

• Build tools: Both android emulator and physical Galaxy S6

Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. cd android && gradlew clean
2. cd ..
3. react-native run-android
4. disconnect packager
5. react-native run-android

Expected Behavior

Build is expected to run just fine the second time, just like the first time.

(Write what you thought would happen.)

Actual Behavior

When I run react-native run-android, the first time I run it, everything runs fine. If I stop the packager and run react-native run-android a second time, I get this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not read path 'C:\ig3\android\app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values-fr-rCA'.
> C:\ig3\android\app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values-fr-rCA

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

I can do 'cd android && gradlew clean' then the build will run fine, but again the next time I run, I will get the same error. It is always the second time I run my build after doing gradlew clean, I get the same error.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Still getting this all the time, including with rename/delete path. Usually just have to try it a couple more times until everything goes through.

Hey guys, had the same issue when i was renaming my packages in android studio, what worked for me can be found from this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23025433/how-to-clear-gradle-cache/30450020#30450020

For me the issue is solved when I'm closing Android Studio. I'm guessing that Android Studio is keeping handle to the files and paths which preventing react-native run-android run correctly.

Seems like the issue can be worked around. Closing.
