> Task :compileGenericDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

[FrancoFasano]

Actual behaviour

• I clone the android project, import in android Studio 3.4 and try to build a debug generic version. Unfortunatly the build failed because of an error:

Task : compileGenericDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

Expected behaviour

• a successfull genericDebug build

Steps to reproduce

1. clone git project
2. open in android studio 3.4
3. build the project

Youp, I can confirm. This is probably due to a change in library.

@tobiasKaminsky is it the lib again? :)

[sysxda]

same for me

[ezaquarii]

@tobiasKaminsky @AndyScherzinger Library is not in sync with app again. Can we fix it ASAP, as it blocks the world?

I tried to use the source version, but it still complains about missing symbols - I suspect that you have some commits that were not merged yet.

Gradle script references master-SNAPSHOT wich is - I believe - a daily build of the library. The trouble is that we're consitently having issues with keeping app master and library master in sync and snapshot tend to regularly break all PRs that are being worked on, by forcing world to use newest library version that is incompatible with the app code (or the other way around).

For an OSS contributor like me, that just happens to have time today to work on something, this basically stops a business for a week, even if you fix it tomorrow morning.

What I want to say is those breakages are very disruptive for all external contributors.

There are couple of solutions we could try to improve the situation:

1. pin the library version on app master to some rc or daily build that works
2. merge app and library into a monorepo that would be kept in sync and build library out of it
3. keep the snapshot, but still provide timestamped library builds, so I can switch to something that works for me in case of breakage
4. use git submodules and default to source library

Currently the newest tagged version is 1.5.0-rc2 witch doesn't work with app master.

[AndyScherzinger]

keep the snapshot, but still provide timestamped library builds, so I can switch to something that works for me in case of breakage

dependencies {
	        implementation 'com.github.nextcloud:android-library:-1.2.0-g8f57cbd-196'
	}

should do the trick

[tobiasKaminsky]

I created also a discussion here: #4259
Fix is nextcloud/android-library#322 and will be merged asap.

As I also wrote some ideas in #4259, I'll c&p @ezaquarii ideas there and answer.

For an OSS contributor like me, that just happens to have time today to work on something, this basically stops a business for a week, even if you fix it tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear that. I really appreciate all the work you and other contributor do and of course this is big problem.

[tobiasKaminsky]

Master should now build again.
(still with master-snapshot, but this will be changed soon).
