Stuck on a "File specified for property 'bundle' does not exist"

[Cyril Mottier]

I currently have the following issue on a project using Google Play Services and ActionBarSherlock (in a multi-project fashion). I've looked into the detail and can't understand what is actually happening. Do we have to add something for the build system to use .aar or is it done automatically?

Thank you

Can you show us the list of tasks that are running just prior to this happening?

The workflow here when building the "app" module is to make sure the dependencies are built first. Then the dependency processing creates a prepare tasks for each library that will ensure that the aar file is extracted into the app's build folder so that we can use the content.

Here it looks like somehow the prepare task is called but the library's output wasn't created at all. can you check if that file actually exists?

Thank you Xavier. Here is my setup (I've just switched to 0.4.2 but it doesn't fix my issue) :

settings.gradle

include ':app'

include ':libraries:action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1:actionbarsherlock'

build.gradle

buildscript {

    repositories {

        mavenCentral()

    }

    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.4.2'

    }

}

app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {

    compile project(':libraries:action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1:actionbarsherlock')

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36'

}

android {

    compileSdkVersion 17

    buildToolsVersion '17'

    defaultConfig {

        versionCode 6

        versionName '1.2.3'

        minSdkVersion 8

        targetSdkVersion 17

    }

}

libraries/action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1/actionbarsherlock/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {

    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'

}

android {

  compileSdkVersion 14

  buildToolsVersion '17'

  sourceSets {

    main {

      manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'

      java.srcDirs = ['src']

      res.srcDirs = ['res']

    }

  }

}

I've looked at the build/ directory and I do have an .aar built in libraries/action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1/actionbarsherlock/libs/actionbarsherlock-4.3.1.aar

I still end up with 

:libraries:action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1:actionbarsherlock:bundleRelease UP-TO-DATE

:app:prepareAVelovGradleLibrariesActionBarSherlock431ActionbarsherlockUnspecifiedLibrary FAILED

on multiproject example has apply plugin: 'android-reporting' in root/build.gradle

[Cyril Mottier]

Sorry I made a mistake in my previous post. The file libraries/action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1/actionbarsherlock/build/libs/actionbarsherlock.aar doesn't exist. The existing file libraries/action-bar-sherlock-4.3.1/actionbarsherlock/build/libs/actionbarsherlock-4.3.1.aar.

I guess the "-4.3.1" part is added because ActionBarSherlock has a version in its "allprojects" block :

allprojects {

  group = 'com.actionbarsherlock'

  version = '4.3.1'

  repositories {

    mavenCentral()

  }

}

When getting rid of the version, the project compiles perfectly.

[Xavier Ducrohet]

This has no impact on the build. The android-reporting is done to aggregate test reports from all submodule.

[Xavier Ducrohet]

yea that's what I was thinking. I need to check how we generate the artifact that gets exported by the library project. It looks like it doesn't actually use the true artifact file name.

[Kristian Sloth Lauszus]

Did this issue ever get fixed or is there some work around it? I have the exact same problem as Cyril.

I haven't found any.

I've just deleted it and it works perfectly now.

I would appreciate it if someone could explain this.

Here's a post that sort've explains it: https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/issues/634

A person responded stating the issue has been fixed, but I only installed Android Studio today and ran into the issue, so seems like it's still a bug.
