Ionic build android, Error: spawn EACCES

rubenlop88 · April 29, 2017, 9:05pm

If I follow this steps to create a new app:

Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ rlopez$ npm install -g cordova ionic
Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ rlopez$ ionic start myApp tabs
Rubens-MacBook-Pro:~ rlopez$ cd myApp
Rubens-MacBook-Pro:myApp rlopez$  ionic platform add android@6.2.2 //6.1.x has a bug
Rubens-MacBook-Pro:myApp rlopez$  ionic build android

I get this output:

Error: spawn EACCES

Running ionic info gives the following:


Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0 
Ionic Framework Version: 3.1.1
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.3
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.1
Ionic App Scripts Version: 1.3.6

ios-sim version: 5.0.13 
OS: OS X El Capitan
Node Version: v6.10.1
Xcode version: Xcode 7.3.1 Build version 7D1014

What am I doign wrong? Is this a bug in Ionic?

[Edit]

Running ionic build android --verbose gives the following output:

Changing the permissions of /Applications/Android Studio 2.4 Preview.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.4.1/bin/gradle solves the problem.

EACCES is a permission failure, so it would help to know what it was trying to access when the error happened. Is there anything like that in the console output?

rubenlop88 · April 30, 2017, 2:46am

That’s the problem. There’s nothing else in the console. Every other question I found on the Internet has at least some other output or stacktrace but not in this case.

mdanics · June 14, 2017, 9:04pm

i’m getting the same thing. were you able to fix this?

rubenlop88 · June 14, 2017, 11:56pm

Yes I was. I made an edit to the post detailing how I fix it. Changing the permissions of /Applications/Android Studio 2.4 Preview.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.4.1/bin/gradle solved the problem for me.

@rubenlop88 what was the permissions you’ve changed ( from -> to ) ?

I am getting a similar error with ionic 3

sudo ionic cordova build android --verbose

produces

[DEBUG] New daemon pid: 700

✔ cordova prepare - done!

Hey I figured this error out. Read here
Github fix for Error: spawn EACCES

kennyalmendral · November 13, 2017, 11:41am

Try changing the permission:

chmod +x /Applications/Android\ Studio\ 2.4\ Preview.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.4.1/bin/gradle

Then run ionic build android again.
