Android build fails

[federicotarantino]

Steps to reproduce:

cordova create test
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-connectsdk
cordova build android

I have this error:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
Cannot evaluate module Connect-SDK-Android : Configuration with name 'debug' not found.

It seems a gradle error.

Thanks

I can confirm this happens after upgrading cordova android platform to >= 6.0.0

As this is also a problem for me, any help to finding out what's causing this would be nice...

It seems a bug of cordova in 6.4.0. Try with 6.3.0. Worked for me (you must remove platform and re-add)

I'm using Cordova 6.5.0 & Cordova-Android 6.1.2, i am also seeing this error message.
I'll try downgrading versions, to locate which version introduced this.

[firecow]

Cordova-Android 5.2.2 is highest working version for avoiding this error message.
Main Cordova version doesn't matter.

How can we fix up the code to build with lastest Cordova-Android 6.1.2 ?

I've just found a workaround. It's working on Cordova-Android 6.2.3.

• Inside your project open platform/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js (or node_modules/cordova-android/bin/templates/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js if you have not added Android to your platforms yet).
• Look for the lines who says:
  depsList += ' debugCompile(project(path: "' + libName + '", configuration: "debug")), and
  depsList += ' releaseCompile(project(path: "' + libName + '", configuration: "release"))
  (these lines were 136 and 138 here. It might change depending on your cordova-android version)
• Change them to:
  depsList += ' debugCompile(project(path: "' + libName + '"))';, and
  depsList += ' releaseCompile(project(path: "' + libName + '"))';
• Build or run again

That's it.
Hope it helps someone out there
