Answer 1

Replace this version with new Kotlin version

project\android\settings.gradle (in plugins section)

    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.0.0" apply false

replace "2.0.0" with new version

Answer 2

I encountered a similar issue while attempting to merge two branches. The following steps resolved the issue for me:

1. Build -> Clean Project
2. Build -> Rebuild Project

Answer 3

after that

./gradlew clean assembleDebug

Answer 4

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 5

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.+)

Answer 6

Only and Only switch from java 8 to java 11

Answer 7

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)

Answer 8

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 9

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

plugins {
   ...
   id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
}

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

In you build.gradle file (Top Level) make sure you have this

plugins {
   ...
   id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.8.20' apply false
}

If not working, Check out this answer too

Answer 10

Just had the same error after upgrading to Android Studio Giraffe Canary 3. I am using JetpackCompose.

What worked for me is changing the kotlin version from id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.21' apply false to id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false within the build.gradle project file

buildscript {
    ext {
        ...
    }



}
plugins {
    ...
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
}```

Answer 11

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
}

}

Answer 12

Go to Gradle > your_project > app > Tasks > Build > assembleAndroidTest Run it and see what is the problem

In my case it was:

Upgrading version fix the problem:

composeOptions {
    kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion '1.3.0'
}

Answer 13

Adding additional code to the mainactivity of my Flutter project caused me to have a similar problem. kt file by accident, thus I believe you might have made a mistake in mainactivity. kt so compiler throws this instead of compiling the code: exception in app:compileDebugKotlin

Answer 14

Please upgrade your kotlin version in your Gradle file to

ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.10'

Answer 15

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 16

If you are having this issue when you are trying to run the app for the first time on a Physical Device: Check you have enabled USB debugging in mobile settings(visible in Developer options). and also install via USB option. Later allow the permissions.

Answer 17

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

Answer 18

I'm migrating an old personal project and this message appeared. I was using AS 4.2 stable and removing the compose buildFeature solved the issue.

Answer 19

In my case, this worked:

flutter create .

Answer 20

I had the same error, and it was related to Kotlin and java files with the same name.

The issue appeared after I converted a java file to kotlin in one branch, and then merged my branches, but both files remained in the project.

The error didn't show the duplicated file name, but after adding

kapt.incremental.apt=false to "gradle.properties" as suggested by this article:

Answer 21

If you have Hilt in your app. Make sure you have annotated your module class with

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
class AppModule

Answer 22

run gradle assembleDebug --scan in Android studio Terminal, in my case I removed an element in XML and forgotten to remove it from code, but the compiler couldn't compile and show Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'. > Compilation error. See log for more details to me.

Answer 23

In my case I forgot to add the return type to a function in my inherited class from RoomDatabase:

abstract class LocalDb : RoomDatabase() {
    abstract fun progressDao(): ProgressDao
}

The ProgressDao return type was missing.

Answer 24

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.

My Android Studio details

Answer 25

I had misleading error messages similar to the ones posted in the question:

Compilation error. See log for more details

Answer 26

in my case:: I was using kotlin extensions to access and bind my views, I had recently moved a view to another screen and forgot to remove its reference from the previous fragment that caused this error.

kotlin synthetic extensions are not compile time safe. I really loved this but apparently in big projects, if this happens again I'm surely going to get a heart attack.

Answer 27

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. Finally, in my own situation, i solved this problem by the following actions: - Close the current project and remove it from the list of projects in android studio ,and reopen it by Open an existing Android Studio project, then it may be worked. I hope that my experience will be useful for you.

Answer 28

Below changes worked for me

I change distribution URL, located in gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip

And

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
  }

kotlin version 1.2.71
