Error: spawn EACCES

I currently have the following environment:

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.9.0
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.9.0

global packages:

    Cordova CLI : 7.0.1

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 2.1.3
    Cordova Platforms  : android 6.2.3 ios 4.4.0
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.6.0

System:

    ios-deploy : 1.9.1
    ios-sim    : 5.0.3
    Node       : v6.10.0
    npm        : 5.3.0
    OS         : macOS Sierra
    Xcode      : Xcode 8.3.3 Build version 8E3004b

iOS is building just fine but for some reason android is not working at all.

please help with this one, I have been bashing my head for the past 5 hours.

Could you please post the real command you are executing with its full output and error? The one you posted is not possible.

munyanyika · August 16, 2017, 8:09pm

Hi

Apologies for this, that was a case of poor copy and paste.
I have reposted the output along with the correct command i am running.

Sujan12 · August 16, 2017, 9:02pm

You are posting at an Ionic forum, so you should use ionic cordova run android to make sure the Ionic app is built first.

You should also not need to add sudo in front of the command - if you have to this is a sign that stuff is broken and wrong.

The error message Error: spawn EACCES confirms this. The gradle command can’t be run because of some permission problem I think.

Additionally, run cordova requirements please.

munyanyika · August 16, 2017, 11:08pm

Hi , thanks for the feedback

I had issues with my permissions, hence why i was using sudo, however the ionic app seems to be building fine as per the output below from the second command.

I have run the 2 commands as advised following commands:

1: $ cordova requirements

Requirements check results for android:
Java JDK: installed 1.8.0
Android SDK: installed true
Android target: installed Google Inc.:Google APIs:23,Google Inc.:Google APIs:22,Google Inc.:Google APIs:21,Google Inc.:Google APIs (x86 System Image):19,Google Inc.:Google APIs:19,Google Inc.:Glass Development Kit Preview:19,Google Inc.:Google APIs:18,Google Inc.:Google APIs:17,Google Inc.:Google APIs:16,Google Inc.:Google APIs:15,Google Inc.:Google APIs:10,Google Inc.:Google APIs:8,android-25,android-24,android-23,android-22,android-21,android-20,android-19,android-18,android-17,android-16,android-15,android-10,android-8
Gradle: installed /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.4/bin/gradle

Requirements check results for ios:
Apple OS X: installed darwin
Xcode: installed 8.3.3
ios-deploy: installed 1.9.1
CocoaPods: installed

2: $ ionic cordova run android -verbose

You have this backwards. Using sudo caused your permission problems.

munyanyika · August 16, 2017, 11:33pm

Okay…at this point i have no idea what the root cause is.

i went as far as creating a blank project without using sudo and i am still encountering the same issue.

What would you suggest i do?

rapropos · August 16, 2017, 11:38pm

I would start by uninstalling and reinstalling Android Studio. But, and I simply cannot stress this enough, when you run something under sudo, even once, there is nothing general anybody can say about what damage it has done and how to reverse it. So either you use tools like strace to track down and repair permissions on specific files, or you may end up having to simply nuke everything from orbit and reinstall the OS from scratch.

munyanyika · August 16, 2017, 11:47pm

Well i don’t even use Android studio though, i had it before

Nuking the entire operating system seems a bit too drastic for me.

rapropos · August 17, 2017, 12:06am

Your stacktrace begs to differ with you about that.

munyanyika · August 17, 2017, 7:08am

I have uninstalled it, and i am still having the same issue

rapropos · August 17, 2017, 7:11am

How is that possible, when the initial report specifically mentions Android Studio?

Sujan12 · August 17, 2017, 8:20am

Not really, your stuff is fucked up and you have to find a way to fix it or your will spend the next few months with random errors like this one.

Get rid of Ionic, Cordova, npm, node, Android Studio, Android SDK.
Install nvm and install a new node.
Install Ionic and Cordova globally again.
Run cordova requirements and install everything it needs.
(Never use sudo here)

munyanyika · August 17, 2017, 10:29am

Thank you for your help, i think i found a solution.
See my updated question with the solution there.

Sujan12 · August 17, 2017, 11:07am

Please post the solution as a reply so it can be selected as “this resolves the issue” and the topic be marked as “solved”.

munyanyika · August 17, 2017, 12:16pm

SOLUTION

The issue had to do with the version of gradle i was running.
Thank to @rapropos for pointing me in the right direction, I was starting to lose my mind.The key was in the information i posted in the thread below:

Basically what i did was:

Uninstalled Android Studio to remove gradle version was being used to build my app
Reinstalled a new version of Gradle and updated my brew by running: brew update && brew install gradle
In my project, i then forced a rebuild of my sass as the 2 were out of sync: npm rebuild node-sass --force
Rebuilt the project, by running : ionic cordova build android

I hope this solution helps someone else and saves a few hairs in the process!!

munyanyika · August 21, 2017, 7:07pm

This helped me as well…sudo is another name for the devil…lol
I got rid of all of them and did the following on my project folder:

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/
cd into <<AppFolder>> Parent
run: chown -R $USER <<AppFolderName>>

Maybe this was overkill but i wasnt taking any chances.
Perhaps this can help someone else

rapropos · August 21, 2017, 10:27pm

I would vote this a very bad idea. Instead, use nvm to manage node installations.
