Gradle sync failed: Cause: error=2, No such file or directory

Question

I am trying to get the latest revision number of mercurial repository dynamically and have it in the versionName of the android app.

This is what I have in the grad

Answer 1

The issue I had with this was that I'd messed up the path contained in my ~/.profile file.

I solved it by running export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH in my terminal to get back my ability to use vim. Then I just pasted the same command: export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH into my ~/.profile.

Invalidated the cache from Android Studio, and it worked like a charm.

I hope this helps someone!
