Android build fails ref #180

ref #180

[fabioz23]

I've tried on a fresh mac (third pc), installed xcode, node, android studio. Then i've installed npm packages.
I've installed ionic 1.7.0 as suggested in other issues.

But when I launch: ionic build android
I obtain:

Error: The provided path "/Users/fabio/Downloads/zmNinja/platforms/android" is not an Android project.

System info:

Cordova CLI: 6.0.0
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.1
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.1
Ionic Version: 1.1.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.5.1-beta.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: Not installed
OS: Mac OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v4.3.2
Xcode version: Not installed

This isn't a single machine related problem, everyone follows the step on a newly installed environment can obtain this problem!

It's sad reading that you aren't interested on finding new problems.

@fabioz23 - if you go with the compile from source option, you need to know what you are doing. You've posted compilation issues before, and I've tried to help. However, I just don't have the time to figure out why compilation is not working for you - I expect folks who want to compile to have development expertise and debug on their own. Those who don't should either use the desktop version (which is free) or buy the mobile app. I put out the source code for people to use it free if they want, but that does not mean I am going to start solving their compilation problems. That is your responsibility.

Like I've told you, the SDK toolchain I use and the version of tools I use works. Its very possible you are using some other version somewhere - to solve it for you, I need to set up what you have and I don't have the time for that at this stage. In future, when i upgrade all my dev toolchains, I'll solve this, but I can't say when.

I'd be happy for folks to fix this problem and submit a PR .

Ok, I'll debug (freely) the problem.

I need only 2 infos:

• the info on your (working) environment, nodejs, ionic, OS, andorid sdk, etc
• I don't know ionic framework, how can I increase verbosity since it don't print many info on the error?

Thanks

with respect to verbosity, ionic is just a wrapper around cordova. ionic build -d produces more verbose outputs

[fabioz23]

which JDK are you using with Android Studio 1.2.1.1?

With the latest jdk 8 it don't start.

1.6.0_65

OK, problem found.

Using [email protected] causes failing in the build process.

Installing [email protected] all went fine.

sounds good.
