Ionic cordova build does nothing after lint finished running

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Whenever I run ionic cordova build android --verbose, it stops after linting. Building for iOS works fine without any hiccups though. I also tried uninstalling Android Studio and reinstalled it, updating to all packages (ionic, cordova, npm) to the latest version but to no avail.

Any points would be much appreciated. Thanks.

After hours of hair pulling, I practically uninstalled every thing and reinstall them. The culprit seems to be Java. After installing a fresh Java JDK, everything just works out now.

I already was able to solve that by reinstalling npm. Old version was 5.8.0, new is 5.10.0, which now works.

I got the same problem recently. Its worth mention that this problem isn’t obvious the same for everyone. Which cause by different/older version of npm or ionic or even android and java.

In my case, it was simple as closing down some earlier terminal window (using iTerm2) and restart it again.
And everything work perfectly. Which indicate there’s a bug somewhere in iTerm2.

But I still using older versions. And it works perfectly building.
