Nativescript 5.4.0 build fails with "couldn't find sbg-bindings.txt"

Nativescript released 5.4.0 where hmr is enabled by default. After upgrade to 5.4.0, my nativescript cloud build as well as local build started breaking with following error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Couldn't find '/home/circleci/repo/platforms/android/build-tools/sbg-bindings.txt' bindings input file. Most probably there's an error in the JS Parser execution. You can run JS Parser with verbose logging by executing "node '/home/circleci/repo/platforms/android/build-tools/jsparser/js_parser.js' enableErrorLogging".

The following is a relevant code snippet which has changed.

package.json

{
  nativescript: {
    id: "com.sample.drawer.app",
    tns-ios: {
      version: "5.4.0"
    },
    tns-android: {
      version: "5.4.0"
    }
  },

    typescript: "~3.2.2"
  },
  readme: "NativeScript Application"
}

nsconfig.json 

{
  "useLegacyWorkflow": false
}

When useLegacyWorkflow is set to true, the build works fine but I need to move away from legacy workflow. If required complete logs can be found at https://circleci.com/gh/rakeshgirase/CloudBuild/106. Earlier successful build is which uses legacyWorkflow and passes https://circleci.com/gh/rakeshgirase/CloudBuild/103.

Since I have not made any changes to the code, it seems something to do with the environmental settings.

Any thoughts?

Solution

  • The solution was the following:

    From the project root run

    ./node_modules/.bin/update-ns-webpack --deps --configs

    This updates package.json and node_modules.

    Then I removed the following folders.

    node_modules, platform, hooks

    And do a clean run

    tns run android
