在自动化的Android构建中找不到插件gradle错误

Question

Since adding Kotlin to our Android source, we're having intermittent failures on our automated builds. Most builds fail while the occaisonal build, say 1/10 perhaps, will succeed. The errors didn't occur before introducing Kotlin, and they don't occur when building locally on our dev machines- only on the build server.

When building via the command line (ie gradlew assembleFlavour1Flavour2 ) we get the following error: Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found . However, when we build from Android Studio (on the build server, the same Jenkins slave) we get a slightly different error: Plugin with id 'kotlin-android' not found . I have updated Android Studio (Through File > Settings > System Settings > Updates ) and Kotlin (through Android Studio > Tools > Kotlin > Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates ).

Our root build.gradle is as follows:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.10'

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.1'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Our application build.gradle, app/build.gradle , is (with sensetive business-specific parts redacted) as follows:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'

gradlew -v reports the following version info:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 4.1
------------------------------------------------------------

Build time:   2017-08-07 14:38:48 UTC
Revision:     941559e020f6c357ebb08d5c67acdb858a3defc2

Groovy:       2.4.11
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.6 compiled on June 29 2015
JVM:          1.8.0_152 (Oracle Corporation 25.152-b16)
OS:           Windows Server 2012 R2 6.3 x86

According to the SDK Manager within Android Studio, we have the following SDK Platforms installed: Android API 27 (rev. 1) , Android 8.0 (Oreo) (rev. 2) , and the following SDK Tools installed: Android SDK Build-Tools , Android Emulator (27.0.2) (NB the machine is a VM, so the emulator doesn't work), Android SDK Platform-Tools (27.0.1) , Android SDK Tools (26.1.1) , Android Support Repository (47.0.0) , Google Repository (58) .

Android Studio version is 3.0, build no AI-171.4443003 , SDK tools 26.1.1 , platform version API 27 revision 1. "ignored updates" is blank.

Update: Tried re-installing the Kotilin plugin and re-installing Android Studio altogether, neither worked. Tried creating a new default Android project with Kotilin on the server, and that has the exact same problem. So I'm thinking it must be a problem with the server configuration.

I've also found that I can create a new default project without Kotlin and it: builds in Android Studio, but doesn't build through the CLI.

Why are these errors occuring and what can I do to resolve them?

Answer 1

You are missing maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } . Correctly it should be:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    }
}
