[GitHub] [cordova] nhhockeyplayer opened a new issue #209: ionic cordova platform add - fails to update build.gradle with proper android gradle plugin

URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/209
 
 
   # Bug Report
   ionic cordova platform add - fails to update build.gradle with proper android gradle plugin
   
   ## Problem
   causes build to fail permanently
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   when adding a new plaform, build.gradle should reflect the appropriate android gradle plugin not some hardwired guess like 3.3.0
   
   
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   version 3.3.0 is what lands inside the platforms/android/build.gradle instead of 3.6.2 which syncs the gradle version with the version of android studio I am using which is in fact 3.6.2
   
   weeks have been spent troubleshooting this and is rued the build process
   
   
   ## Information
   android studio 3.6.2
   gradle plugin 3.6.4
   
   
   very disimpressed with the handling of gradle version and the dependent plugin version with adding platforms
   
   this is a show stopper for build process and issues rampant all over the internet no one knows what to do
   
   some of us like to build 10% completely with the command line and never even launch android studio AND THIS IS FEASIBLE and has been
   
   I shouldnt havee to launch webstorm to tell me the cordova platform archetype missed the version on the android gradle plugin

   I have isolated this to the following
   
   cat platforms/android/build.gradle | grep 3.
   
   always shows that 
   
   ionic cordova prepare android 
   
   is hardwiring the build.gradle to 3.3.0 for the android gradle plugin

   ok correction here
   I just performed 
   
   ionic repair
   ionic cordova prepare android --no-build
   meanstack@meanstacks-MacBook-Pro myapp % cat platforms/android/build.gradle | grep 3.
           classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
         defaultBuildToolsVersion="28.0.3" //String
   meanstack@meanstacks-MacBook-Pro myapp % 
   
    it was the prepare command that reset the gradle version back to malevolent version 3.3.0
   can someone provide some assist on this
   its stopping builds everywhere and the issues are persistent year after year
   
   this is what my cache looks like
   
   meanstack@meanstacks-MacBook-Pro myapp % ls .gradle .idea ~/.gradle
   ls: .idea: No such file or directory
   .gradle:
   5.6.4			buildOutputCleanup
   
   /Users/meanstack/.gradle:
   caches		daemon		native		notifications	wrapper
   meanstack@meanstacks-MacBook-Pro myapp % ls .gradle .idea ~/.gradle/caches

   last july i identified gradle source file in the archetype hardwired to gradle version 4
   completely wiping out android studio and its upgrade gradle mechanisms by corrupting and downloading artifacts and confusing the whole underlying build system
   
   this looks and seems to be another BUG of hardwiring
   
   we can do better

   why isnt 
   cordova platform add android
   or
   cordova prepare android
   
   doing a gradle sync 
   and then a android gradle plugin update
   
   so it can update the android gradle plugin inside build.gradle
   
   ?
   
   more gradle wrapper bumps this is extremely frustrating

   pinned is a nice catch phrase
   i can spot hardwiring after 30 yrs of industry no offense but it pulls out the legs on automation and obviously a chronic build problem countless engineers cannot build fluidly
   forking to fix is another unacceptable avenue
   its too much work
   I have seen engineers on projects that do not even survive and get trampled by the armies
   I find the whole design unacceptable and the amount of crash stop bugs impossible to even track there are so many and its impossible to get a build
   thank you for the feedback

   Try this:
   1) Go to android folder(platform/android)
   2) go to build.gradle file
   3) Modify the line:  dependencies {
           // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
           // in the individual module build.gradle files
   
           classpath: << Insert  your version here>>
   
   4) Do a build and run

   my whole idea is we shouldnt have to go into the manhole and even touch the build.gradle file
   
   whats wrong with that
   
   for a working product
   
   no assembly required?
   
   it should be smart enough
   
   if you try
   
   ionic cordova prepare
   
   you will see that lonic is resetting and hardwiring the build.gradle file to version 3.3.0 of the android gradle plugin and that p[resents a show stopper for android studio and the build process iself

   why cant it just work
   
   so the hardwiring will stay put and there will be no gradle sync
   its all bottom up and been that way for long time
   
   I think a top down redesign needs to be looked at for GRADLE & PLUGINS because this is only serving the committers at this point

   @nhhockeyplayer 
   - Your messages sound quite rude
   - This is not an ionic support forum or bug tracker
   - If you think you found a problem with Cordova, add the exact commands to reproduce your problem
   - Do not hesitate to edit the actual issue with the relevant information instead of posting comments that correct the previous statements
   - The supported way to build your app is to use Cordova's CLI (as in `cordova build android`)

   No one wants to be sucked into he android studio plethora of build errors
   manually or with capacitor
   at least I dont
   its never ending and agony
   
   running the archetypes form command line (if they did what they were suppsose to do) would be a clean product
   
   I aware someone will take offense
   is anyone aware of the endless amount of build errors and issues that are miles long and the numerous amounts of same on the internet that span years and years
   
   Im trying to help
   
   no on wants to be caught up in build hell and its been this way forever

URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/209#issuecomment-611632827
 
 
   On android studio 3.6.1, I'm able to add and build a simple android cordova project successfully, with the gradle plugin set to version 3.3.0.
   
   I'm currently unable to update to 3.6.2 because this version was just recently released and is currently not in the package repository for my OS. But I'd be pretty surprised if Google would introduce a breaking change in a patch bump.
   
   Cordova doesn't simply just accept the latest version of its dependencies because you could also run into this exact same type of scenario if dependencies just arbitrary update. Versions are pinned because they have demonstrated repeatedly that version consistently works with the latest versions available at the time of release. Do note that google does not follow traditional semver syntax. The version x.y.z, if x **or** y changes, they consider that a major release that can include breaking changes. So hard wiring versions is **not** a bug, it is completely intentional to avoid unintentional breaking changes.
   
   When 3.6.2 releases is propagated to the release channels for my OS, I'll rerun my tests on version 3.6.2. You may need to ping me in about a week if you don't see a response. If by the weekend I still don't see the 3.6.2 update, I'll just download from the website and install & configure a 3.6.2 environment so that I can test. I just can't spend the time to do that right now.
   
   In the meantime, couple of potential workarounds I can see are:
   1. fork cordova-android, and update the `build.gradle` file to pin the gradle plugin against 3.6.0 (current latest). Do note this [requires](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#3-6-0) you to have at least gradle 5.x, so this means you may have to use 9.0.0-dev, as well as have build tools 28.0.3 installed. Then you can install the your version of the platform over git.
   2. If the issue is indeed with AS 3.6.2, then reverting back [3.6.1](https://developer.android.com/studio/archive) may also be a workaround.
