I can’t build my Android project in TeamCity. I get an error:
No value has been specified for property ‘lintClassPath’.

But when I build the project in Android Studio a build is built successfully.

@albka1986 @dvoaviarison – Just wanted to add that I could resolve my issues when switching back

classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0’

to

classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0-beta03’

I’ve tried downgrading to 3.5.0-beta03, I’ve tried different gradlew distributions, I’ve tried updating build variants, etc. to no effect. I’m working on a completely vanilla Android project with the most basic configuration, and this error is just so clear and plain, really just trying to understand what we’re missing.

Stacktrace:

> Task :app:lint FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:lint'.
> No value has been specified for property 'lintClassPath'.

I was able to resolve this issue by moving forward in dependencies. Although this will require using some alpha releases and your results may vary.

Update your build tools to:

classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0-alpha12’

This will force an update to Gradle itself downloading:

gradle-5.6.1-all.zip

Also, if you are using Android Studio it will want you to jump to 3.6, I am using Canary 12 and no issues so far.

I had the same problem with Jenkins.
Make sure that the ANDROID_HOME environment variable is set for the CI user and that it has read access to the SDK directory.

Thanks. Setting ANDROID_HOME and putting the platform tools on my path cleared this error for me:

export ANDROID_HOME=/path/to/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
