How can I find the cause of this Cordova build error?

warehouseman · August 29, 2016, 3:39pm

This is my build command :

meteor build /tmp/buildMeteor/mmks --debug    --server=yourhost.yourpublic.work >  /tmp/log/build.log

The --debug switch does not seem to have any effect.

My build log stdout looks like this :

My questions :

Is this a known bug?
Is the error emitted by Meteor or Gradle or Cordova or android-sdk or something else?
How do I set the option --info or --debug so that it gets through to the execution arguments of the tool that emitted it?

running into similar error , did you find a fix for the problem ?

warehouseman · September 27, 2016, 12:02pm

Yeah I did!
You won’t like it, much!

If you pick through this code, you might find an answer.

It worked a month ago. The problem was incompatibility between versions of Google’s build tools (they don’t make it easy).

If you are comfy with bash, you should be able to figure out what I was doing.

yoanncooljazz · October 11, 2016, 1:08pm

I have exactly the same error but i don’t understand how to correct it, does anyone find a solution ?

warehouseman · October 11, 2016, 2:23pm

Did the Linux shell script I mention above specifically not work for you?

If you have not tried it, I expect you’ll find what you need in the three functions :

PrepareAndroidSDK,
PrepareToBuildAndroidAPK
BuildAndroidAPK

…in the file Automated Deployment Functions

yoanncooljazz · October 11, 2016, 2:57pm

Hello thanks for ur answer, i tried to download the script and makes it executables but nothing start. So im stuck with same problem :

warehouseman · October 11, 2016, 3:57pm

Yeah, I was not suggesting you try to run the scripts as is. Rather that you read through them to see the steps required.

I’m fairly sure your problem is versions incompatibilities. That script worked for me, so I’m confident the versions used are correct.

yoanncooljazz · October 12, 2016, 8:51am

Oups, sorry it’s a bit hard for me to find what happens here but i will try to read ur code…thx

warehouseman · October 12, 2016, 4:58pm

If you have questions, don’t be shy about asking.

yoanncooljazz · October 13, 2016, 11:31am

The problem is that i don’t even know what to look for…i’m stuck with this problem seems it’s related with gradle but im not sure. My app is working well when i launch it by just typing “meteor”, i was also able to deploy it on a server with mup, but now it’s impossible to make an apk, there are not much tutos about this part of the process, so i have still this for now

yoanncooljazz · October 13, 2016, 3:53pm

In some posts i can read that it could be a mismatch in sdk version in the build.graddle file, any idea where i can edit this file ?

warehouseman · October 13, 2016, 4:06pm

From what I can see you have not yet tried changing your version numbers . In this line I see you are still using ‘24.0.3’, as you were two days ago ::

    com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/home/yoann/Android/Sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I do not use 24.0.3 in my script. What makes you think it will work for you?

My script has :

export SDK_TOOLS_ZIP="tools_r24.4.1-linux.zip";
export BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION=23.0.3;
export PLATFORM_TOOLS_VERSION=24.0.2;

echo -e "getPlugin \"Android SDK Platform-tools, revision ${PLATFORM_TOOLS_VERSION}\" ${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools/adb;";
getPlugin "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision ${PLATFORM_TOOLS_VERSION}" ${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools/adb;

# 4
echo -e "getPlugin \"Android SDK Build-tools, revision ${BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION}\" ${ZIPALIGN_PATH}/zipalign;";
getPlugin "Android SDK Build-tools, revision ${BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION}" ${ZIPALIGN_PATH}/zipalign;

# 25
getPlugin "SDK Platform Android 6.0, API 23, revision 3" ${ANDROID_HOME}/platforms/android-23/android.jar;

# 26
getPlugin "SDK Platform Android 5.1.1, API 22, revision 2" ${ANDROID_HOME}/platforms/android-22/android.jar;

yoanncooljazz · October 13, 2016, 4:18pm

im a bit lost here i don’t know where to change those version number in fact…

warehouseman · October 13, 2016, 5:00pm

Part of the issue may be that I am not following Meteor’s ( skimpy ! ) explanations. They say to install the whole SDK, but I wanted a pure command line solution.

If you are not comfortable with Linux command line and bash in particular, I have pretty much reached the limit of being able to help you. On the other hand, if you are willing to pick through my function : PrepareAndroidSDK() I am sure you will find all you need.

warehouseman · October 13, 2016, 5:15pm

Some hints :

Download a file

wget
Extract compressed contents of a file

unzip
Generate a list of all plugins in the SDK

${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/android list sdk -u -a;
Add a plugin to your development environment

${ANDROID_HOME}/tools/android update sdk -u -a --filter ${PLUGIN_NUM};

yoanncooljazz · October 13, 2016, 6:41pm

i thought it would need less battle to get an apk working with meteor, i opened a topic for my problem or i will soon change framework… Need help for building my apk with meteor 1.4 (resolved) thx for ur help anyway.
