Android Studio 3.0 Compile Issue (Cannot choose between Configurations)


Issue with latest 3.0 build (Beta 2) My project has 1 sub module by a 3rd party so I only have access to their build.gradle.

My project has 3 flavours, snap, uat, production. Each has 2 build types, debug and release. When I try build I get this.

Error:Cannot choose between the following configurations of project :lp_messaging_sdk:
  - debugApiElements
  - debugRuntimeElements
  - releaseApiElements
  - releaseRuntimeElements
All of them match the consumer attributes:
  - Configuration 'debugApiElements':
      - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.VariantAttr 'debug' but wasn't required.
      - Found org.gradle.api.attributes.Usage 'java-api' but wasn't required.
  - Configuration 'debugRuntimeElements':
      - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.VariantAttr 'debug' but wasn't required.
      - Found org.gradle.api.attributes.Usage 'java-runtime' but wasn't required.
  - Configuration 'releaseApiElements':
      - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'release' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.VariantAttr 'release' but wasn't required.
      - Found org.gradle.api.attributes.Usage 'java-api' but wasn't required.
  - Configuration 'releaseRuntimeElements':
      - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'release' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' but wasn't required.
      - Found com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.VariantAttr 'release' but wasn't required.
      - Found org.gradle.api.attributes.Usage 'java-runtime' but wasn't required.

I read there was issues with sub modules and build types but then read it was fixed. You had to add the same build types or something to the sub modules build.gradle and then add

buildTypeMatching  'debug', 'release'

When I do this however, I get this error,

Error:Could not select value from candidates [debug, release] using AlternateDisambiguationRule.BuildTypeRule.

Does anybody know how I can solve this issue? Thanks


Solution

  • Try

    implementation project(path: ':lp_messaging_sdk', configuration: 'default')

    Note:

    You can avoid this bug by update gradle to 4.3 check this.

    Explanation :

    Using Dependency Configurations makes it easy to define and specify what to use in sub-project.

    In my answer, we used default configuration and this will publish and expose only the "release" flavor to other Android projects and modules.

    Assume you need to include this flavor only with demo flavor or with release flavor, it would be like :

    configurations {
      // Initializes placeholder configurations that the Android plugin can use when targeting
      // the corresponding variant of the app.
      demoDebugCompile {}
      fullReleaseCompile {}
      ...
    }
    dependencies {
      // If the library configures multiple build variants using product flavors,
      // you must target one of the library's variants using its full configuration name.
      demoDebugCompile project(path: ':lp_messaging_sdk', configuration: 'demoDebug')
      fullReleaseCompile project(path: ':lp_messaging_sdk', configuration: 'fullRelease')
      ...
    }
    

    And so, in your case, you may use your build flavors, and that's what appeared in the error log.

    Cannot choose between the following configurations of project :lp_messaging_sdk
    

    And that's mean, that your lp_messaging_sdk have various build configurations:-

      - debugApiElements
      - debugRuntimeElements
      - releaseApiElements
      - releaseRuntimeElements
    

    And android-studio telling you, that "I can't choose one configuration from these various, Would you define one for me?"

    You can read more over here.
