Jenkins-pipeline fail : No such DSL method 'androidLint' found among steps

I get a failure for the stage 'Static analysis' during my jenkins-pipeline.
Here is my Jenkinsfile :
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Compile') {
steps {
// Compile the app and its dependencies
sh './gradlew compileDebugSources'
}
}
stage('Unit test') {
steps {
// Compile and run the unit tests for the app and its dependencies
sh './gradlew testDebugUnitTest testDebugUnitTest'
// Analyse the test results and update the build result as appropriate
junit '**/TEST-*.xml'
}
}
stage('Build APK') {
steps {
// Finish building and packaging the APK
sh './gradlew assembleDebug'
// Archive the APKs so that they can be downloaded from Jenkins
archiveArtifacts '**/*.apk'
}
}
stage('Static analysis') {
steps {
// Run Lint and analyse the results
sh './gradlew lintDebug'
androidLint pattern: '**/lint-results-*.xml'
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
steps {
// Build the app in release mode, and sign the APK using the environment variables
sh './gradlew assembleRelease'
// Archive the APKs so that they can be downloaded from Jenkins
archiveArtifacts '**/*.apk'
}
}
}
}
Here is the Console Output :

I am not sure why I get "No such DSL method 'androidLint' found among steps".
I thought it's a jenkins-plugin problem, since Android Lint Plugin seems deprecated, I can't access to the link : https://plugins.jenkins.io/android-lint/
I installed the plugin : Warnings Next Generation => https://plugins.jenkins.io/warnings-ng/
that seems to contain Android Lint Plugin, and yet, I still get the error : No such DSL method 'androidLint'...
Does someone have any idea why the stage('Static analysis') fail ? Is it a missing plugin ?
Thank you.

After investigation, it seems "androidLint" is not supported by "Warnings Next Generation Plugin", and has been replaced by "androidLintParser"
the correct step with Warning Next Generation plugin is :
stage('Static analysis') {
steps {
// Run Lint and analyse the results
sh './gradlew lintDebug'
androidLintParser pattern: '**/lint-results-*.xml'
}
}

Does anyone know how to solve ?

I solved it by changing the order of the maven repositories in android/build.gradle. My allprojects looks like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
google()
jcenter()
maven {

In your platforms/android folder that contains the build.gradle file, create another file called build-extras.gradle and put the following inside of it:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
}
}
I had the same issue and this fixed it for me. I also had to update AndroidManifest.xml to point to the correct icon folder because it changed that config variable to the mipmap folders instead of the drawable folders.

Set your compileSdkVersion to 23 in your module's build.gradle file and see

Firebase Messaging Package for Unity gives problems when building with Gradle

At first I could build and install the app on my Android device but as I launched it crashed, the Logcat was saying that a Firebase library was not included in the package and advising to use the Play Services Jar Resolver. So I used it.
Now I have this error when trying to build my app. (excuse me, I had some issues understanding how to insert a code snippet :) )
CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed.
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -classpath "/Applications/Unity/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/Tools/gradle/lib/gradle-launcher-2.14.jar" org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain "assembleRelease"
stderr[
/Users/andreamarchetti/Desktop/Squarcuit/Temp/gradleOut/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:4: Error: Avoid hardcoding the debug mode; leaving it out allows debug and release builds to automatically assign one [HardcodedDebugMode]
<application android:icon="#drawable/app_icon" android:label="#string/app_name" android:debuggable="false" android:isGame="true" android:banner="#drawable/app_banner">
Explanation for issues of type "HardcodedDebugMode":
It's best to leave out the android:debuggable attribute from the manifest.
If you do, then the tools will automatically insert android:debuggable=true
when building an APK to debug on an emulator or device. And when you
perform a release build, such as Exporting APK, it will automatically set
it to false.
If on the other hand you specify a specific value in the manifest file,
then the tools will always use it. This can lead to accidentally publishing
your app with debug information.

I do not have - android:debuggable="false" -anywhere in any AndroidManifest.xml in my project.

I think the problem was that I had multiple .aar files of the same package but different versions. So Facebook SDK was conflicting with some Google Firebase stuff. I deleted the Facebook SDK .aar (which were older versions).

Gradle application variant mergeAssets not working

I'm trying to use the gradle applicationVariants mergeAssets task to remove some unused assets files from my apk.
Even though I'm able to print the line "this line is printed", when the application variant is 'run', the variant.mergeAssets.doFirst {} does not seem to be called, as I never see the output "this line is not printed" in my gradle console. The asset I'm trying to remove does not get removed either, but it seems like the code to remove it is never executed.
Am I doing something wrong? I've tried moving the entire android.applicationVariants task outside of buildTypes, I've tried nesting it in release{}.. nothing I've tried seems to work.
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), file('proguard-project.txt')
signingConfig signingConfigs.release
}
publicBeta.initWith(buildTypes.release)
publicBeta {
runProguard true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), file('proguard-project.txt')
}
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
println 'this line is printed'
variant.mergeAssets.doFirst {
println 'this line is never printed'
File fonts = file("${rootDir}/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.github.johnkil.android-robototextview/robototextview/2.0.1/assets/fonts")
if (fonts.exists()) {
for (File file : fonts.listFiles()) {
if (file.getName().contains("RobotoSlab")) {
println("delete " + file.getName() + " font")
file.delete()
};
}
}
}
}
}
Here's the gradle console output, for brevity:

The line that is printed will always be printed because it gets executed in the configuration phase. ( see Gradle User Guide )
Your gradle console output shows all the merge*Resources tasks being skipped as UP-TO-DATE. This means that the inputs and the outputs have not changed since last time the tasks were executed, so gradle does not execute them again. Unfortunately, Gradle is not yet smart enough to know that you have changed the task implementation and that it should not skip the task.
Try running a clean to force the task to run
