Visual Studio 2015 Error code 1 On Building Cordova App for Android

Question

I'm trying to build my First Cordova app on Visual Studio and somehow. I can't even get my app Compiled for android. I have no Idea what am I Doing Wrong.

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line
Error       cmd: Command failed with exit code 1    ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp    c:\users\parsa gachkar\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\ERROR building one of the platforms  1

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line
Error       cmd: Command failed with exit code 1    ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp    c:\users\parsa gachkar\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\MDAVSCLI 1

tools for Cordova Dependency Checker tells that it's All right and every thing is Installed Correctly.

I've already created a Keystore

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -validity 10000

and updated my ant.properties file:

key.store="my-release-key.keystore "
key.alias="alias_name "
key.store.password="xxx"
key.alias.password="xxx"

(I tried using both absolute & relative paths but still no luck)

here is the log I'm getting

BTW I'm trying to build it with Debug Config

anyone got this thing working? Can you explain what you have done exactly?

And no this Question is not a Duplicate of any Questions on SO, I've Already Done a research and the answers were not Useful.

Answer 1

I was able to solve the problem by compiling the app manually.

My firewall was producing the issue. The Java SDK was trying to download some libraries and my firewall blocked it so Gradle wasn't able to compile and as the result my Gradle installation was corrupted. Here are the steps I took to solve this issue:

• Delete C:\\Users\\Parsa Gachkar\\.gradle

• Turn off firewall or unblock Java

• Recompile

Answer 2

I was given the same error, but it had a different solution.

Here is my solution:

By looking to the out put message I understood the problem occurred when "build.bat" was running:

1>  Command finished with error code 1: cmd /s /c ""c:\users\parsa gachkar\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\platforms\android\cordova\build.bat" --debug "--buildConfig=c:\users\parsa gachkar\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\ParsasProgrammerCompanionApp\build.json""
1>ERROR building one of the platforms : error : cmd: Command failed with exit code 1
1>  You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project
1>MDAVSCLI : error : cmd: Command failed with exit code 1
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

So I ran the "build.bat" file by CMD and it gave me more information:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
> No installed build tools found. Please install the Android build tools version 19.1.0 or higher.

and when I installed build tools from Android SDK Manager the problem vanished.
