Cordova cannot add Android failed with exit code ENOENT

Question

I am trying to create an Android project with Cordova, however i am getting an ENOENT error although i followed the tutorial step by step very carefully, this is getting me

Answer 1

I had a similar issue when trying ionic platform add android.

result; partial build with ENOENT error titled "cordova-plugin-console" on the same child process as mentioned above superspawn.js

After trying reinstalling etc.. without resolution I changed my path variables around. ANDROID_HOME was placed in user variables --

C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk

PATH was updated in the system variables to remove previous entries for SDK and added at the end; %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Users\XXXXXX\Node\;C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;

Restart pc, tested with new app ionic start tabs cd to the folder created, test it runs with ionic serve --lab exit with q then try to add the platform. ionic platform add android

now it works..

Please note********* now when i run 'android' in the CMD from my user dir... C:\Users\XXXXX>android

i do not see the xcopy not found displayed to my screen. android SDK manager always loaded before and still now after i changed my paths.

Hope this helps p.s I run these cmds from my user acc which is not the admin acc as i never log in as or use my pc as an administrator.
