Buck - name 'project_config' is not defined. How to solve it?

I don't know why, but Buck has been always painful to set up. I was trying to do the Getting started tutorial directly from Facebook page for Android in macOS. The issue is that I'm getting an error when I try to execute the following command: buck build demo_app_android

The error:

Note: I cloned the fbsamples/bucksamples repository at GitHub

This is the BUCK file:

android_binary(
  name = 'demo-app',
  manifest = 'AndroidManifest.xml',
  keystore = '//android/keystores:debug',
  deps = [
    '//android/java/com/facebook/buck/demo:lib',
  ],
)

project_config(
  src_target = ':demo-app',
)

Why is it failing if project_config is defined?

Solution

  • project_config was removed some time ago. Try to remove it from the BUCK file and run buck build again.
