Description

I followed the instructions for creating my first cordova app on https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/index.html 

I am running Debian 9.3 (Stretch), Node 9.7.1 and npm 5.7.1. I can build an android app using my Android Studio setup, but I cannot build a Cordova app.

$ cordova requirements
Android Studio project detected

Requirements check results for android:
Java JDK: installed 1.8.0
Android SDK: installed true
Android target: installed android-27,android-26,android-24
Gradle: installed /opt/android-studio/gradle/gradle-4.1/bin/gradle

 

I ran into the issue described here https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2835 and when I changed the permissions of my gradle file, I no longer got the "spawn EACCES" error. I do get a different error though:

$ cordova build android
Android Studio project detected
ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I'm not really sure where InvokerHelper is located. Are there additional dependencies that are not included in the tutorial that would fix this failure?

Thanks,
