Could not setcwd() (errno 2: No such file or directory)

Question

After running my project I encounter following error in android studio.

Do you know the reason?

10:04:15 PM: Executing task 'installDebug'...

Could not set process working directory to '/Users/mahdir/.gradle/daemon/4.8/:app': could not setcwd() (errno 2: No such file or directory)
10:04:15 PM: Task execution finished 'installDebug'.

Answer 1

I guess the module is not properly selected in the run/debug configuration. Before you try the whole unlink/link roundtrip just do:

1. Open the Run/Debug Configuration dialog for the config in question by

• clicking on the dropdown to the top left (see Run/Debug Configuration Dropdown)
• clicking on Edit Configurations... (see Configuration Dialog)

2. Click on the icon right next to the Gradle project field and re-select the module of your choice (see Gradle project selection)
3. Try running the run/debug configuration again.

Answer 2

For me

1. Close the project and remove it from recent project list.
2. Go to the project directory and remove .gradle & .idea directory.
3. Import this as existing project again.
