MergeDebugResources problem after updating to 0.5.+ and Android Studio 2.0

[Javier Tarazaga]

Hello guys, 

Does anyone experienced a .mergeDebugResources problem with the new gradle build version 0.5.1 (or in mi case 0.5.+) and Android Studio 0.2.0? 

This is the exact problem I get when trying to build:

Gradle: Execution failed for task ':mergeDebugResources'.

> java.lang.RuntimeException: Running /Development/android-sdk-macosx/build-tools/17.0.0/aapt failed. See output

Here is the log using --debug mode.

The strange thing is that just before upgrading to 0.5.+ and 0.2 was working perfect.

I am experiencing the exact same issue now that I updated to Studio 0.2.  It has to be something with the new version of gradle.  I can build it just fine if I switch back to 0.4.+

I am trying to compile an application that uses the ActionBarSherlock library.

I'm adding better error output for this case. I'll push a new version tomorrow probably to have you all run with the newer error reporting and see if we can track this down.

Please do not send me questions directly. Thanks!

Thanks Xavier.  I will post a new error report after your push.

Ok it seems to be a path length issue with 0.5.+ as my project still compiles with 0.4.+.  I am now getting the following error with 0.5.+:

C:\Users\gfreyenberger\AndroidStudioProjects\HawkeyeFootballProject\HawkeyeFootball\build\exploded-bundles\HawkeyeFootballProjectLibrariesActionBarSherlockActionbarsherlockUnspecified.aar\res\drawable-hdpi\abs__textfield_search_right_selected_holo_light.9.png ERROR: Unable to open PNG file

:HawkeyeFootball:mergeDebugResources FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':HawkeyeFootball:mergeDebugResources'.

> java.lang.RuntimeException: Running C:\Users\gfreyenberger\AppData\Local\Andro

id\android-studio\sdk\build-tools\android-4.2.2\aapt.exe failed. See output

I moved my project to D:\HawkeyeFootballProject and it builds just fine with that path.  I will just work off of my D drive as a workaround.

I used mklink to create a junction folder which works if you don't want to or can't change the actual location.
