Centering

Can you also post whatever is in the log? – Lusatian

hey, sorry. Actually I don't know where I should look for log. Can you help me that also @Lusatian – Centering

@Lusatian I have look up in under message section but there is no log available – Centering

@Lusatian I have added the log – Centering

You should probably file an issue in the Kotlin bugtracker. – Florentinaflorentine

@Ankur_009, I have same issue. Did you find solution? – Racket

did you tried the option that I have mentioned in the question? @SattarHummatli – Centering

Yes, i've tried. The same result. @Centering – Racket

I don't know specifically what was the reason but I had created the new project. But I think it occurs when copy another project activity class to the new project. Try to restart the system (lame answer. as I don't know the exact solution) @SattarHummatli – Centering

I ran into this problem today. Doing a Gradle clean then restarting Android Studio seemed to resolve the issue. – Consist

Sometimes may help to update gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file – Fingering

When I ran the build again, it worked, per this question: https://mcmap.net/q/110768/-java-rmi-unmarshalexception-error-unmarshaling-return-header/897007 – Candlelight

Answer 1

I got such error after a simple try of code refactoring. It has happened nor after some library was connected neither any changes in gradle. It looked like something in my code was wrong but the compiler could not find the issue. That's why I double checked all changes that I did and found that I had somehow changed method signature in the interface but had not changed it in class that implements it. I got this error twice during one day and decided to share my experience. I hope that it is a temporary compiler bug.

Solution 1 Possible solution is to go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment --> Compiler -> and add "--stacktrace --debug" to Command-line Options. Read log and try to found the answer of what went wrong.

In new Android Studio 3.1.+, you can enable/disable console log details by pressing "Toggle View" on "Build" tab. There you can find the details. Pay attention that both modes can be useful for investigation of the problem's reason. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49717363/

Solution 2 Click on Gradle (on the right side bar) then under :app choose assembleDebug (or assembleYourFlavor if you use flavors). Error will show up in Run tab. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51022296

Solution 3 As a last resort. In the android studio, try Code -> Inspect Code -> Whole project > Done. Wait until the inspection is over and then correct errors in "General" section and possible ones in other sections.

Note The kapt3 can be a source of such bugs. I removed apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt' and added kapt { generateStubs = true } into android {} section of build.gradle. It seems that the previous version of the kapt generator is bugs free. (Update. It looks like a bug with kapt is gone on kotlin version 1.2.+)

Jeer

@newbie I hope one day we will get updates with fixes for such issues. – Jeer

I have try moving to backward, I back to use apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt', and my android studio back get error. but I try debug with terminal like this ./gradlew build I have no error, and compile is successful. hmmm it's very weird. – Federalize

I mean why android studio and terminal making different of result? and what code android studio to compile gradle? – Federalize

@Federalize it's difficult to find out why this happens. I have an explanation for all cases: android always contain a piece of magic =) – Jeer

Well this solution in last Update somewhat works for me. remove the kotlin-kapt and add in kapt{generetaStubs = true} – Intermit

The original (old) kapt is deprecated and will be removed completely soon after Kotlin 1.2. If you experience any problems with apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt', please file an issue to kotl.in/issue. – Mammilla

@Mammilla After the original kapt will be removed we will see how the new one will work. Maybe problem will gone at all with this update. – Jeer

@Mammilla It looks like truth. With kotlin v1.2+ and new kapt I have not faced such issue for a long time. – Jeer

Tried Solution 1. Nothing came in log and still issue persists. – Compliment

@MalwinderSingh Check the updated answer. AS 3.1 can be the reason why you do not see log details. – Jeer

@IgorGanapolsky In android studio try Analyze -> Inspect Code -> Whole project. Wait until inspection is over and then correct errors in "General" section. – Jeer

I am using Android studio 3.3 and kotlin version 1.3.20 Solution 3 helped me. Thanks so much. – Kokanee

Weird...simply adding the compiler flags "fixed" the problem for me... – Unstop

Solution:

I solved it by

1. Clicking on Gradle (on the right side bar) ->
2. Then under :app
3. Then choose assembleDebug (or assembleYourFlavor if you use flavors)

In Picture:

1 & 2:

3:

Error will show up in Run: tab.

Selfseeker

Thank you. Found the issue using this. One thing to note, is that the original gradle error that doesn't help much shows up first when scrolling back through the logs, keep scrolling back and you will find the original error. Easily identifiable by the blue link to the source file causing the issue. – Foust

I don't see "assembleDebug" if list – Sherleysherline

"./gradlew assembleDebug" at the project root will do the job – Morita

@user7856586 me too, did't find assembleDebug – Micturition

@VikasPandey I forgot how I solve this problem. Maybe it's depends on AS version – Sherleysherline

":app/Tasks/other/assembleDebug" is the current path – Pines

Perfect solution! – Donndonna

Answer 3

If you are using AS 3.1 the new build graphical console isn't very helpful for finding out the source of the problem.

you need to click on toggle view and see the logs in text format to see the error and if needed to Run with --stacktrace

Thanks!! I had to do this after a couple of hours of debugging.. one thing I want to add to your answer is that the error might be some lines above the one that contains the "Compilation error. See log for more details" message. – Avouch

thanks! it's more explicit to see the text errors. after hours of debugging, I found the right error. For me it was because of the @inject of the viewModel, I forgot to put the annotation on the viewModel constructor also – Inference

Funny enough, this is the only way to catch Dagger-related error. Ridiculous! – Theocracy

Answer 4

This error shows up when there is Kotlin Compilation Error.

Run the below command to find where there is Kotlin Compilation Error,

gradlew clean assembleDebug (for Windows)
./gradlew clean assembleDebug (for Linux and Mac)

It will show you the exact location on which line there is Kotlin Compilation Error.

Answer 5

On Mac :

go to Android Studio > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle-Android Compiler

On Windows :

go to File > Settings > > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler

Now, in the Command-line Options field , add following three flags :

--stacktrace --info --scan

like shown below

Now , open the Build window from the bottom of Android studio

Then, there is a button on the left side of the Build window:

press this button , you will see detailed logs with exact code that is preventing the project from compiling

Answer 6

1 - Check if kotlin version is same across project

Declare this in your project level gradle file

buildscript {
ext {
    kotlin_version = '1.5.10'
}

And make sure kotlin gradle plugin has the same version

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

2 - Run build with parameters like --stacktrace --debug --info --scan one by one

Read the error carefully and check if it mentions any of your files

3 - Export logs from build and read them

Run this command

./gradlew build --stacktrace > logs.txt 2>logErrors.txt

4 - Inspect Code And Fix Any Problems You May Find

Go to Analyze -> Inspect Code in Android Studio

5 - Invalidate Caches , Clean & Rebuild Project

If this does not fix your problem , you might have a dependencies issue , check them carefully , make your 1 is satisfied with all dependencies

Uncovenanted

my case ,i ve just update to : ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.50' – Excavator

in my case, running ./gradlew build --scan revealed the error: e: This version (1.1.1) of the Compose Compiler requires Kotlin version 1.6.10 but you appear to be using Kotlin version 1.7.10 which is not known to be compatible. – Tjon

Answer 7

In such case look at gradle console it will show the issue in detail with exact location which led to this compilation error.

In my case I was using Butterknife in one of my class and I had auto-converted that class to kotlin using android studio's utility

As in my log it clearly shows issues are with declaration of variables with butterknife. So I looked into this issue and was able to solve it.

In my opinion it's better to use kotlin extensions instead of butterknife. But nevertheless thanks for sharing your experience. It can be helpfull for many people. – Jeer

@Jeer kotlin supports many of the android frameworks now thats why I gave it a try look at kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/android-frameworks.html – Filter

You are right! But if we talking exactly about view initialization by @BindView in butterknife I discovered that kotlin extensions provide much more easy way to get views instances in code. Just take a look, you'll love it) kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/android-plugin.html – Jeer

@Jeer Thanks for the link it's a lot easier than butterknife. – Filter

Answer 8

I changed my project to use Androidx, so I used the migration tool but some files(many files), didn't change automatically. I opened each file (activities, enums, fragments) and I found so many errors. I corrected them but the compile still show me incomprehensible errors. After looking for a solution I found this answer that someone said:

go to Analyze >> Inspect code

Whole Project:

It took some time and then showed me the result below:

As I corrected the errors I thought were important, I was running the build until the remaining errors were no longer affecting the build.

Answer 9

I had a similar problem. The problem was that I incorrectly wrote the properties of the model in the attributes of the view:

<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@{ferm.coin.value}"/> 

This part was wrong:

@{ferm.coin.value}

When I wrote the correct property, the error was resolved.

Please upgrade your kotlin version in your Gradle file to

ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.10'

Uppercase

Answer 11

For me, updating the kotlin version to the latest in app level build.gradle file and then syncing the project worked.
So the gradle file looks like the following (at the time of writing the answer):

buildscript{
    ...
    ...
    dependency{
        classpath "com.android.tools..."
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31"
    }
}

Answer 13

in my case I accidentally changed version="1.0" to xml version="1.0" in my XML file.

I only had to change it back.

if you have the same problem and the solutions above didn't work for you. open Gradle Console and scroll to Run with --debug option click it and it will show you more useful info about your error.

some notes:

this error doesn't appear directly after I make the change in XML it appear only after I change some java code. I think it has something to do with the instant run and build cash.

I faced the similar problem in no reason, i think it was caused by IDE(android studio). I have tried all of above solutions but not worked.

Answer 18

I Had the same issue and finally discovered the reason. In my case it was a badly written Java method:

@FormUrlEncoded
@POST("register-user/")
Call<RegisterUserApiResponse> registerUser(
        @Field("email") String email,
        @Field("password") String password,            
        @Field("date") String birthDate,
);

Note the illegal comma after the "date" field. For some reason the compiler could not reveal this exact error, and came with the ':app:compileDebugKotlin'. > Compilation error thing.

Answer 23

If you are experiencing this error, it is because your build.gradle file is missing the kotlin plugin, most answers recommend changing the kotlin version but in some cases, you don't even see the plugin under dependencies, maybe it's a react native thing since I experienced it with react native.

Go to your_project -> android -> build.gradle file and inject the kotlin dependency with the code below under dependencies

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.21"

replace the 1.7.21 at the end with the latest version of kotlin.

Your buildscript should look like the code below

buildscript {
ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    compileSdkVersion = 30
    targetSdkVersion = 30
    ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"
}
repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2")
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.5'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.7.21" // change 1.7.21 to the latest kotlin version
}

}

I had a same problem. To solve this problem just open your all files(recent working files) in Which you made the changes and check did you forget to delete some which should be deleted.

In my case the problem was with the Unreferenced code which I was using in one of my file and that code is present in that file which should not be present in that file because I was using an interface which I have deleted from my project but I forget to deleted from one of my file).

My scenario:

old Kotlin dataclass:

data class AddHotelParams(val destination: Place?, val checkInDate: LocalDate,
                      val checkOutDate: LocalDate?): JsonObject

new Kotlin dataclass:

data class AddHotelParams(val destination: Place?, val checkInDate: LocalDate,
                      val checkOutDate: LocalDate?, val roundTrip: Boolean): JsonObject

The problem was that I forgot to change the object initialization in some parts of the code. I got a generic "compileInternalDebugKotlin" error instead of being told where I needed to change the initialization.

changing initialization to all parts of the code resolved the error.

I faced the same problem with 3 errors (flamingo version)

- Task :app:kaptGenerateStubsDebugKotlin FAILED
- A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWo
rkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction
- Compilation error. See log for more details

I've tried clean project, rebuild and validate cache and still. I used inspect tool to get all the warnings but i confused from the number of warnings.

my solution was to comment every file in kotlin and resources and let only MainActivity then run the code and that worked very very well then began to uncomment file after another till I found the problem was in navigation file include an argument with a different package name (when I moved the data class to another package it didn't change in navigation file so caused the error)

This error occurred when I migrated my Java files to kotlin. Few things to look for:

In your build.gradle file (app level) make sure you have kotlin plugin support

}

android {
   ...
   kotlinOptions {
      jvmTarget = '1.8'
