Caused by groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException Could not get unknown property 'android' for project ':lib1' of type org.gradle.api.Project

Question

To solve my problem here: Applying JaCoCo to all Android Studio gradle modules, I applied the solution here. This works fine so far for modules with

plugins {
    id("com.android.library")
}

As soon as I add the required apply from: '../jacoco/modules.gradle' into a module labeled as a Java library

plugins {
    id("java-library")
}

I get a

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not get unknown property 'android' for project ':lib1' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I would like to add the apply from to the java library, so that JaCoCo reports were generated for them as well. What am I missin here?

Answer 1

I assume you have also applied the snippet from the “Improvements” section of the solution you have linked to your ../jacoco/modules.gradle file? In that case you could replace that snippet with the following:

project.afterEvaluate {
    if (project.pluginManager.hasPlugin('com.android.library')) {
        android.libraryVariants.all { variant ->
            tasks.create(…)
        }
    } else {
        tasks.create(…)
    }
}

If that doesn’t solve it, then I’d recommend to run the build with Gradle’s --stacktrace option. That should give you more details on where exactly the missing property was found.

Without more information on your exact build setup it’s hard to really say more.

For Cordova - some outdated packages cause it - see https://github.com/google/cordova-plugin-browsertab/issues/43 & https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/821, such us cordova-plugin-browsertab.

There are multiple ways to solve this, it's even an example from Cordova docs.

That one working for me - add cdvMinSdkVersion=21 inside gradle.properties. Haven't tried the other ones, but as per cordova-plugin-browsertab#43 (comment), it should work at least with exporting as environmental variable.
