Travis CI failed because cannot accept license Constrain Layout

Before i write this question, i already search same question about this, they did export license because still use alpha version of constrain layout. But now android already release stable version of constrain layout. I tried a lot of setup but still failed..

my latest .travis.yml

language: android

jdk: oraclejdk8

android:
  components:
    - platform-tools
    - tools # to get the new `repository-11.xml`
    - tools # see https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/6040#issuecomment-219367943)
    - build-tools-25.0.0
    - android-25

    # Additional components
    - extra-google-google_play_services
    - extra-google-m2repository
    - extra-android-m2repository

  licenses:
    - 'android-sdk-preview-license-52d11cd2'
    - 'android-sdk-license-.+'
    - 'google-gdk-license-.+'

script:
   - ./gradlew clean build

and this is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.package.my"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 6
        versionName "1.3.1"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.0'
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
    compile 'org.sufficientlysecure:html-textview:3.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.2.0'

}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

with this setup i got this error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> You have not accepted the license agreements of the following SDK components:
  [ConstraintLayout for Android 1.0.1, Solver for ConstraintLayout 1.0.1].
  Before building your project, you need to accept the license agreements and complete the installation of the missing components using the Android Studio SDK Manager.
  Alternatively, to learn how to transfer the license agreements from one workstation to another, go to http://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/export-licenses.html
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

is there any solution without workaround using export license ?

Solution 1:

Updated response

is there any solution without workaround using export license?

Yes, you can use the new sdkmanager to install the constraint library and accept the license:

  - echo yes | sdkmanager "extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout;1.0.2"
  - echo yes | sdkmanager "extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout-solver;1.0.2"

Otherwise, the missing component will be detected by gradle and downloaded without accept it:

  # Show version and download Gradle Wrapper if it's not already cached
  - cd ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/${DIR} && ./gradlew --version
  # Clean project and download missing dependencies and components
  - cd ${TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR}/${DIR} && ./gradlew clean build

In that case, as explained below, you need to accept the license the first time via the workaround.

The new Emulator options are explained in Start the Emulator from the Command Line

avdmanager explained here replaces android avd since SDK tools version 25.3.0

sdkmanager explained here also enhanced to view and accept all licenses from the command line

Previous response: Since sdkmanager replaces android script

I'm a little outdated about Travis-ci and seems extra work is required now, so it's better you check:

• As tir38 noticed, android tool is no longer supported. Instead, use sdkmanager...

• Open issue and workarounds for this topic:

In your .travis.yml file add:

before_install:
  - mkdir "$ANDROID_HOME/licenses" || true
  - echo -e "\n8933bad161af4178b1185d1a37fbf41ea5269c55" > "$ANDROID_HOME/licenses/android-sdk-license"
  - echo -e "\n84831b9409646a918e30573bab4c9c91346d8abd" > "$ANDROID_HOME/licenses/android-sdk-preview-license"

Do not forgot to accept all the licences on the main android object:

android:
  components:
    # ...
  licenses:
    - android-sdk-license-.+
    - '.+'

• Another related issue and workaround:

If you are getting "Please install the missing components using the SDK manager in Android Studio." error you can just install the missing component with the sdkmanager command line tool:

echo y | sdkmanager "extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout;1.0.0-beta4"
echo y | sdkmanager "extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout-solver;1.0.0-beta"

• This article explaining contraint-layout problem for Circle-ci and Travis-ci

• Documentation about sdkmanager provided in the Android SDK Tools package (25.2.3+)

Outdated solution: Before android script deprecation

I don't use the default Travis-ci script to install Android components and accept licenses, from here:

# Install and update SDK
function install-and-update-sdk {
    # Keep SDK packages up-to-date (only missing suggested updates are installed).
    ( sleep 5 && while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; echo y; done ) | android update sdk -u -t \
        ${UPDATE_PKGS:-'platform-tools,tools,extra-android-m2repository,extra-google-m2repository'}
    # Install or reinstall SDK packages (if empty, all packages are installed).
    ( sleep 5 && while [ 1 ]; do sleep 1; echo y; done ) | android update sdk -a -u -t \
        ${INSTALL_PKGS:-'build-tools-23.0.3,android-23'},${TARGET_PKGS:-}
}

You can accept all the licenses at the same time if you do it like this:

# THE SETUP STAGE
# ---------------
# If you comment out this section, Travis CI will install for you the components you define here.
# Check your project requirements and the components included by default on Travis-ci VM images.
# Check required: https://github.com/google/iosched/blob/master/doc/BUILDING.md
# Check defaults: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/android/#Pre-installed-components

android:
  components:
    # Check Android SDK tools: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/tools-notes.html
    # Check Android SDK Platform-tools: http://developer.android.com/tools/revisions/platforms.html
    # Comment the lines below if the latest revisions of Android SDK Tools are included by default.
    # - tools
    # - platform-tools
    # ...
  licenses:
    # Check licenses: http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/android/#Dealing-with-Licenses
    # By default Travis will accept all the licenses, but it's also possible to define a white list:
    # White list current android-sdk-license revision.
    # - 'android-sdk-license-5be876d5'
    # White list all android-sdk-license revisions.
    # - 'android-sdk-license-.+'
    # White list all the licenses.
    - '.+'

Solution 2:

The simplest solution that worked for me was to copy the SDK licenses to my project from SDK and then tell Travis to copy them to itself while building.

There's already a closed issue for this on Travis's Github page and one of the mentioned solutions on it is definitely working currently.

Solution

1. Copy the licenses folder found in Android SDK's root directory.
2. Paste it in the root directory of your own project on the same hierarchy where .travis.yml file is.
3. Add these commands to your .travis.yml's before_install block:

.travis.yml:

before_install:
- mkdir "$ANDROID_HOME/licenses" || true
- cp ./licenses/* "$ANDROID_HOME/licenses/"
