Bitrise Build Issue Report template

After updating Android project to using gradle 3.0.0 project stopped building with success. Locally everything works properly.

Environment:

Stack used: Android & Docker, on Ubuntu 16.04
Problem occures on step: install-missing-android-tools@2.0.4

Reproducibility

• Does a “Rebuild” help? (You can trigger a rebuild from the Build’s page, by clicking the “Rebuild” button in the top right corner of a finished build) : NO
• Does a rebuild without caches help? (You can remove the Cache:Pull and Cache:Push steps temporarily to not to use the cache, or you can delete all the caches on the Settings tab of the app. : NO
• If you have multiple different build configurations (workflows), does the issue affect all/more than one? : YES (all)
• If it’s an issue which happens sporadically, what’s the frequency? (e.g. Once a day ; about x% of the builds) : NO (reproducibility 10/10)
• Does upgrading the build Step to the latest version help? : YES

Hi @GSA,

Thanks for filling out the report!

What the issue is

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0.

This error comes from Gradle, not from Bitrise.

In your project you have a reference to this dependency/plugin (or in general might be a dependency of a dependency).

If you check the links gradle prints in the error (Searched in the following locations) those indeed are 404 / not found pages.

Why it works locally

Because most likely at one time this dependency version was available, and so it’s now available on your Mac/PC in the filesystem (cache), and Gradle won’t try to download it (as it’s already downloaded). But then the version was removed / is no longer available, so it will no longer work on any new Mac/PC (as the dependency version can’t be downloaded).

How to debug & fix

In case of an Android “Could not find …” issue it’s usually enough to just:

1. Do a clean git clone of the repository, into a new directory
2. And try to build the project from there

That should make it so that there’s no local dependency cache, and all dependencies will be downloaded (and the ones not available anymore will fail).

Once you can reproduce the issue, you can simply debug and fix it on your Mac/PC and then commit the changes, and it’ll work on Bitrise.io too. In this specific case you most likely just have to upgrade the version of the plugin/dependency to a version which still exists.

For more debugging options & more infos / guides for local debugging please see:

How to debug your build locally / "It works on my Mac/PC but not on bitrise.io"

If the build works on your local Mac/PC but not on bitrise.io, that’s usually because of uncommitted / gitignored files or a tool version difference. There can be other reasons, for example in case of iOS code signing errors it’s usually because a code signing file which is available on your Mac, but you did not upload it to bitrise.io and so it’s not available there. In any case, the first steps you should try, preferably before you’d report the issue (as this will be the first thing we’ll ask…

How to experiment with Bitrise configs locally, on your Mac/Linux

Do you want to run a custom Script in your builds, or do you want to experiment with things you just found on the DevCenter, but would love to make the process faster? If you do, this is the right place for you! It’s actually super simple: Install the Bitrise CLI, which is the exact same runner which runs the builds on the bitrise.io VMs. Bitrise CLI Note: the CLI is open source, repo and code: GitHub - bitrise-io/bitrise: Bitrise runner CLI - run your automations on your Mac or Linux mach…

Another thing for the Gradle Android plugin v3 migration: as described in the official migration guide (ضبط الإصدار  |  Android Studio  |  Android Developers), please make sure that you add google() to the repositories list in build.gradle!

In fact you’ll most likely need both google() and jcenter() right now:

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1 in circle ci

To synchronize all of the answers here and elsewhere:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    google() 
    jcenter()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

  } }

Make your buildscript in build.gradle look like this. It finds all of them between google and jcenter. Only one of them will not find all of the dependencies as of this answer.

I’m also facing the same issue. Above solution didn’t work out for me. Am I missing any thing here?

i just add “google()” code into my build.gradle. and it worked for me… Thanks

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google() // add this code
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

[viktorbenei]

@amitks17 did you add google() to repositories in build.gradle? Like @qasir mentioned above as well as I mentioned here Couldn't find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0

[amitks17]

Sorry it was my mistake. I had added google() to allprojects { repositories {}} instead of buildscript { repositories{}}. It’s working after the correction.
Thanks.

[viktorbenei]

Glad to hear it worked!

Please, i have the same exact issue, the only difference, my problem is i can’t download these dependencies for some reason, i am behind proxy and i tried set http(s)_proxy but doesn’t do anything. So i’m not even sur where the problem comes from. i tried a differnrt connexion with no proxy (but slower), it takes several minutes before giving the same error
If any one have any idea, i’m stuck since a week, i read everything on the internet .
