Ionic build android, Error: spawn EACCES

Question

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 [email protected] //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

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

[Edit]

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

Solution 1

Got the same error today. Thanks to the comments above, here is how I fixed it.

Ran:

cordova build android --verbose

and it showed me where it got the "Permission Denied" error... In my case it was:

Running command: /usr/libexec/java_home
Command finished with error code 0: /usr/libexec/java_home
ANDROID_HOME=/Users/mj/phonegap/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home
Running command: "/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.2.1/bin/gradle"
 -p /Users/mj/EduceMobile/app/platforms/android wrapper -b /Users/mj/EduceMobile/app/platfo
rms/android/wrapper.gradle

To fix, ran:

sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.2.1/bin/gradle

...and

...
...
:cdvBuildDebug

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Hope it helps.

Solution 2

Above solutions didn't work for me. I solved error with this command:

chmod 755 platforms/android/gradlew

Solution 3

Only for OSX --- Go to Applications Folder from finder and Simply rename Android Studio App Package name by removing space between.

Before : Android Studio After: AndroidStudio

There is no issue of permissions by default just the space was the problem.

Cheers !

Solution 4

For those who gets similar error after updating Android Studio to version 3.x, you can run the following command to fix it:

sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-4.1/bin/gradle

Hopefully it helps!

Solution 5

Just encountered the same issue, and I don't think it has anything to do with sudo - that command is simply missing the execute permission

chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js

Same. I missed setting the execute permission to one of my custom hooks

[Charlie Ang]

I got similar error after I updated my Android Studio to version 3.x. In this case, I ran the following command to fix it: sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-4.1/bin/gradle. Hopefully it helps!

[SolveSoul]

I had to chmod +x to fix the issue.

[Ashish Karpe]

On Mac laptop got : [error] Unable to find hooks add

[Ashish Karpe]

After chmod do we need to cordova rm platform ios & add it again ? ....chmod is not working for me

[Vijay Chauhan]

You don't need rm platform.

[SoVinceble]

@CharlieAng That worked perfectly well! You should add as an actual answer rather than a comment so it can help more people.

[Charlie Ang]

@TheVinceble Posted it as an actual answer just now. :) Glad to hear that it works well for you.

[Jason Wheeler]

this answer is a duplicate of several already existing answers and should probably be removed

[Bruno The Frank]

Works like a charm!

[Victor Ramos]

worked like a charm. to elaborate on my situation. it seems that from the last time I ran cordova build android it spun up a daemon. therefore i'm guessing the last daemon was still running which didn't allow cordova build android to run this next time.

Make sure to enclose the whole path in double quotes in case there's a whitespace in any of the directory names.

[vr_driver]

Or, as ionic changes so much, it could be "ionic cordova platform add [email protected]"

[Marc Alexander]

This worked for me. I had the same problem with ios where I had to do [email protected]
