Ionic Command cordova build android runs forever

[knnithyanand]

I am using the Ionic Command task with cordova build android as argument, in my logs I notice that the build was successful and has even generated the apk file however the task does not complete.

My simple ionic app only has the following tasks:

1. npm install
2. Ionic Command cordova build android

Below is the last few lines of my log:

2018-03-10T07:42:33.4634086Z BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 3m 9s 2018-03-10T07:42:33.4634247Z 49 actionable tasks: 49 executed 2018-03-10T07:42:34.1416259Z Built the following apk(s): 2018-03-10T07:42:34.1416710Z D:\a\1\s\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk 2018-03-10T07:50:10.0281984Z ##[error]The operation was canceled. 2018-03-10T07:50:10.0323295Z ##[section]Finishing: Ionic Command cordova build android

I just ran into this, too. In my case, it seems related to the Gradle daemon, despite --gradleArg=--no-daemon?

I have the exact same problem. The ionic build finishes successfully and gets stuck at the end. The log shows that grade daemon is started. It appears that there must be a fix for this but it does not work: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-cordova-tasks/blob/2249ced3ee44b8eeda9faef20bdb09fd8b05774c/Tasks/CordovaBuild/lib/cordova-task.js#L203

Seems to be the same issue as https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-cordova-tasks/issues/82

For what it's worth, my build started working by switching to a macOS agent; only Windows hangs with the Gradle daemon. Oddly, the Gradle Daemon seems like it's still starting on macOS:

Update: Or maybe the build is succeeding but not actually working? Still exploring...

I'm going to close this as it's a dupe of https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-cordova-tasks/issues/82 - I'm discussing closing it with others there, but you may want to get on the conversation.
