Jenkins Gradle app:mergeDebugResources Unable to open PNG file

Question

I am able gradle build from Android Studio and cmd. But this issue is only coming in Jenkins while building. This issue didn't come in Mac Jenkins setup, but is coming in my Windows setup.

Below is my gradle setting.

:app:mergeBetaDebugResources

AAPT: \\?\C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\.android\build-cache\671e94b2d47b0ef7a24e43f8814a29b911cc4872\output\res\drawable-ldrtl-mdpi\abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha.png ERROR: Unable to open PNG file

Answer 1

This error is because of the new feature of build-cache. It is using the default build-cache folder which is a long path. You can disable build-cache by adding android.enableBuildCache=false to you gradle.properties or set the build-cache path. See https://developer.android.com/studio/build/build-cache.html

Answer 2

:app:generateReleaseResources those who encountered the error must add following line to gradle.properties after gradle3.x

android.enableBuildCache=false
android.enableAapt2=true
