Gradle error when releasing version number in cordova config.xml
The config.xml file of my ionic / cordova project has the following set
Android-VersionCode = "201504231751" KCH-CFBundleVersion = "201504231752"
When I try to build android using "corova build android" gradle throws an error:
FAILURE: Build failed with exception. * Where: Script 'E: \ Workspaces \ xxx \ xxx \ platform \ android \ CordovaLib \ cordova.gradle' line: 128 * What went wrong: There was a problem evaluating the "android" of the root project.
For the input line: "201504231750" * Try: Run with the --stacktrace option to get a stack trace. Run with the --info or --debug option to get more log output.
Line 128 on \ CordovaLib \ cordova.gradle is ParseInt. My guess is that the string cannot be converted to an integer and hence the problem.
When I change the string to a simple integer it works.
I need a time stamp version. How to overcome this error?
I'm on a windows 7 machine. It's weird that the same codebase is generated for android on a mac machine.

I ran into this problem and "solved" it with a hack, which makes me a little awkward, but that works. I noticed that the line in the error message has a null appended to the end (for example, I set the version code 2015073001, but the error message contains 2015073001 0 ).
To be honest, I don't know what this code does (or even what language), but it seems a little strange to me to change the input provided. I changed the code starting at line 177 platforms /android/build.gradle:
defaultConfig {
versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0")
if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion
}
}
to
defaultConfig {
versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode"))
if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion
}
}

@smaira
I was getting the same error too.
201504231750 is not a valid int in java, it exceeds the bounds of int.
I would recommend using unix timestamp instead. I'm doing something similar to the following in my bash script (on layout, don't know what the Windows equivalent is):
timestamp=$(date +%s)
cordova build android -- --gradleArg=-PcdvVersionCode=$timestamp

@Al Jacinto I tried to override the property but I think I am not doing it right.
In cordova.gradle,
I replaced
privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest = { name -> doExtractIntFromManifest(name) }
from
privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest = { name -> dontExtractIntFromManifest(name) }
Then I duplicated the extractIntFromManifest method, renamed dontExtractIntFromManifest and removed parseInt from the return value as follows
def dontExtractIntFromManifest(name) {
def manifestFile = file(android.sourceSets.main.manifest.srcFile)
def pattern = Pattern.compile(name + "=\"(\\d+)\"")
def matcher = pattern.matcher(manifestFile.getText())
matcher.find()
return matcher.group(1)
}
but when i tried to build it i got the same error. However, I figured out that the error was coming from build.gradle while I was changing cordova.gradle. So I opened build.gradle and changed defaultConfig
defaultConfig {
//versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0")
//SMI:Trying to get rid of the error
versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0"
if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion
}
}
but that didn't help either. Now I am getting another error message which is
`* Where: Create a file '/Users/IOMEDIAMAC5/Developer/workspace/smi/jsp-rem-001-gipro-patient-app/platforms/android/build.gradle': 180
