Problems building cca android app on mac

Question

I've recently updated a few dependencies on my mac after a while not doing much cca development and now the "cca run android" command is no longer working on my machine.

I get the following strange error:

BUILD FAILED
<my project path>/platforms/android/build.xml:90: Cannot find  /usr/local/tools/ant/build.xml imported from <my project path>/platforms/android/build.xml

Total time: 0 seconds

<my project directory>/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/q/q.js:126
                throw e;
                 ^
Error code 1 for command: ant with args: debug,-f,<my project directory>/platforms/android/build.xml,-Dsdk.dir=/usr/local

It's looking for a build file that doesn't exist. I'm concerned about the section that says -Dsdk.dir=/usr/local. Clearly it should be looking at my android home directory, which seems to be set properly:

$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
/usr/local/opt/android-sdk

And if that variable was being set properly, it would find one:

ls $ANDROID_HOME/tools/ant/build.xml /usr/local/opt/android-sdk/tools/ant/build.xml

Has anyone run into this recently using recent versions of cca with android? Hoping there's some obvious mistake I'm making that can be easily remedied.

Answer 1

I got a response from the MobileChromeApps developers on their github issue tracker. It turns out that the sdk.dir was not being set by the $ANDROID_HOME variable, but instead by the $PATH variable that matches the first android executable. By fixing my path to move $ANDROID_HOME before anything else in the path it fixed the issue, and they filed a bug to prioritize $ANDROID_HOME in a future build.
