Okbuck gradle 3 compatibility issue

Aug 4, 2017 09:14 · 195 words · 1 minute read

When i am using okbuck to speed up my build time, the build is always failed and on the console it show:


buck-out/gen/app/res_debug#resources-symlink-tree/res/values/styles.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar'.

first i think it have some issue with the Android AppCompat, and when i try to perform an installation it show


error: unresolved reference: support
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
               ^

well that mean i the appcompat dependency is not exist on the okbuck

this is my dependencies on my build.gradle:


dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestImplementation ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
}

Well i noticed the dependencies is now using implementation rather than compile, the implementation is introduced on Gradle 3, reference https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44493378/whats-the-difference-between-implementation-and-compile-in-gradle

i try to change the implementation to the compile so my build.gradle file will be like:


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-v7:26.0.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
}

now on the console it show that the okbuck is importing the dependencies

well it seem the okbuck hasn’t yet support the implementation, androidTestImplementation, and testImplementation
