:app:dexDebug Android studio 1.0 Gradle error 1 - The specified path was not found

Question

Error:

Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

com.android.ide.common.internal.LoggedErrorException: Failed to run command:

C:\\Users\\JosephSlawsky\\Android\\sdk\\android-sdk\\build-tools\\21.1.1\\dx.bat --dex --no-optimize --multi-dex --main-dex-list C:\\Users\\JosephSlawsky\\AndroidStudioProjects\\PETS\\app\\build\\intermediates\\multi-dex\\debug\\maindexlist.txt --output C:\\Users\\JosephSlawsky\\AndroidStudioProjects\\PETS\\app\\build\\intermediates\\dex\\debug --input-list=C:\\Users\\JosephSlawsky\\AndroidStudioProjects\\PETS\\app\\build\\intermediates\\tmp\\dex\\debug\\inputList.txt

Error Code:

1

Output:

The system cannot find the path specified

Running Windows 7 32 bit

I checked, all of the files and directories exist, cannot replicate the command line in a dos window because it is too long to process.

Could the overall problem be related to the fact it is a 440 character command line?

Also made Gradle changes for multidex minify etc.

This is a Google glass application (not very large) that compiles and working well using the last beta of Android Studio.

Answer 1

I was facing similiar issue after update. I found the below helpful:

Cause:

In line 27 of tools/lib/find_java.bat has a problem:

find /i "x86" > NUL && set arch_ext=32 || set arch_ext=64

You must remove space after "arch_ext=32". Correct code is:

find /i "x86" > NUL && set arch_ext=32|| set arch_ext=64
