Task 'assemble' not found in root project

Question

I am trying to import a project in android studio 3.1 but when I try to build the project it says "Task 'assemble' not found in root project". I searched for this error but didn't find straight forward answer and exist answers like This didn't work for me. any solution please?

[SOLVED]: The problem was because of missed settings.gradle file! just added it manually to the main project folder

Answer 1

This is not a solution but a possible explanation of this error. It could happen if you named your flavor using camel case typo. Example: normal accepted, normalBis not accepted.

Answer 2

make sure that settings.gradle file contains include ":app"

Answer 3

Try this command in the terminal tab of android studio:

gradlew assembleDebug

Terminal tab can be found in the bottom panel, where you have Logcat.
