A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:generateJsonModelDebug'

[newmips]

Hi, Getting the error in title when trying to create cordova android app. Executed following instructions:

cordova plugin add nodejs-mobile-cordova ----> OK cordova build android -----> KO

Message says: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:generateJsonModelDebug'.

File '/home/denis/AndroidStudioProjects/TestApp/platforms/android/app/src/com/janeasystems/cdvnodejsmobile/jni/CMakeLists.txt' specified for property 'externalNativeJsonGenerator.makefile' does not exist.

Using tools: node 8.10.0 cordova 8.0.0 gradle 3.4.1

I have currently no folder "com/janeasystems/cdvnodejsmobile/" in subdirectory "platforms/android/app/src/". Can you help to clarify what has to be done to build those files or solve this issue? Thanks for your help. Note. Maybe this issue is related to https://github.com/janeasystems/nodejs-mobile/issues/90

Hi @newmips ,

As stated in the Requirements, Cordova 8.x is not supported. That's probably where the error is coming from.

[newmips]

Ah! Thanks. I was misleading by this page https://code.janeasystems.com/nodejs-mobile/getting-started-cordova which indicates Cordova 7.0.0 or higher. Will downgrade version and test again.

@newmips , Thank you for pointing that out. Corrected the requirements in that page.

Tested again. It actually works with cordova 7.0.0. Thx @jaimecbernardo !

Hi @britishd , The path that's being looked for by cordova platforms/android/app/ was introduced by "cordova-android 7.X". Cordova 7.X would come with "cordova-android 6.X", which shouldn't have this issue, to the best of my knowledge. Was the project created with Cordova 8.X ?

One way to verify the "android" platform version is to run cordova platforms inside the project. The android platform version should be 6.X

Hi @andreddosantos , Something in the build system is introducing a flag that is not recognized by CMake. It's in the logs you've shared:

  clang: error: unknown argument: '-nostdlib++'

Is this happening on the sample you've shared in https://github.com/janeasystems/nodejs-mobile-samples/pull/10, as well?

[andreddosantos]

Hello @jaimecbernardo

Is this happening on the sample you've shared in janeasystems/nodejs-mobile-samples#10, as well?

it should be, since the configurations for that PR are the same for the app i'm working on, but the thing is, i believe that this is not ionic related, since it is cordova that generates the FS for the platform applications, all ionic files ends up in the www folder as js parsed by webpack ...

I'm going to do my debug regarding the information you just gave me, and I'll try to let you know the origin of that flag. '-nostdlib++'

BTW if you want to replicate, after having the environment set up with the versions i've already posted here, you just need to run the following commands

iOS working: ionic cordova platform add ios --save ionic cordova build ios

Android: ionic cordova platform add android --save ionic cordova build android //not working

regards André
