NativeScript 2.0 [1.7.1] build is failing at 'processF0DebugResources' when gulp related dependencies are added to 'devDependencies' section

Question

NativeScript 2.0 (I'm using NativeScript-Angular) build is [tns build android] failing at 'processF0DebugResources' when gulp related dependencies are added to 'devDependencies' section.

This is happening since 1.7.1 too, but, I was of the impression that it would be fixed in 2.0 release. It looks like the devDependencies are getting built too.

I also tried gradlew -debug which showed no errors and there is no .apk file generated too when this error occurs.

Here is the exception:

:processF0DebugResources FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':processF0DebugResources'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process ' command 'C:\Android\android-sdk\build-tools\23.0.3\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Here is my package.json:

Resolved!!

Instead of using npm install, I used tns install, which built all the devDependencies correctly and I was able to deploy my app successfully.

Thanks to Hristo Deshev for helping me out on this.

I had to delete the "node_modules" and "platforms" folders before running tns install as I had already run npm install. But this solved the issue for me as well - Thanks! – Bremser

Also remove "hooks" folder as you can bump into the following error after this one Cannot find module 'nativescript-unit-test-runner/lib/after-prepare' – Hemocyte

gets me everytime :/ – Katabasis
