with the following error
:asbg:runAstParser
couldn't find logDirectory so it will be created in place:/Volumes/SERVER/root/repos/STS/App-Division/ocd-cheats/platforms/android/build-tools/android-static-binding-generator/ast-parser/logs/i.txt

• Where:
  Build file '/Volumes/SERVER/root/repos/STS/App-Division/ocd-cheats/platforms/android/build-tools/android-static-binding-generator/build.gradle' line: 53

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':asbg:runAstParser'.

  Process 'command 'node'' finished with non-zero exit value 255

Seems to be reproducible on OS X .

tns create projectname

(also tried with tns build android@next)

Temporary fix

Temporary fix : replace the build.gradle file from previous version of nativescript (1.7.1) in /platform/android

Copied from original issue: NativeScript/NativeScript#2157

Hello @Obsessive, there was indeed a problem with the static binding generator closing the running process when a flawed "safety" check passed. Logging is disabled by default there and should not affect you at all unless you wanted to debug the binding generator.

You can fetch the latest fix by doing a tns platform remove android and then tns platform add android@next

I am still getting this error. Where do I get the older version of the build.gradle file?

[petekanev]

@DaneGrinder have you tried fetching the latest (unofficial) build from tns platform add android@next? If yes, and you are experiencing these crashes, could you post a log with the error?

[DaneGrinder]

Yes, I have tried android@next. Same result.

That is a babel error, caused by babel's require. _core.js is present on my machine. Could you please try deleting node_modules altogether and running again? Also, what is the version of the babel-traverse in the package.json?

[DaneGrinder]

It works :-) Thanks a lot.
Hope it helped you guys fix the bug.
Now, really looking forward to start testing on Nativescript.

"devDependencies": {
"babel-traverse": "6.7.6",
"babel-types": "6.7.7",
"babylon": "6.7.0",
"filewalker": "0.1.2",
"lazy": "1.0.11",
"nativescript-dev-typescript": "^0.3.2",
"typescript": "^1.8.10"
}

Keep up the great work :-)
