getting error "Cannot locate tasks that match ':app:generateBenchmarkReleaseBaselineProfile'" error when running baseline profiler

Question

After creating a new BaselineProfile module, I tried to execute the task:

and I'm getting the following error:
Cannot locate tasks that match ':app:generateBenchmarkReleaseBaselineProfile' as task 'generateBenchmarkReleaseBaselineProfile' not found in project ':app'.

I'm not seeing any configuration instructions for this in the online docs for baseline profiles. Any clues?

Answer 1

The error is because you are using benchmarkRelease build variant. Instead, just use release build variant and try again
