Build failure for helloworld project on nativescript.org

[sancteor]

I setup the environment as instructed by the page: http://docs.nativescript.org/angular/start/ns-setup-win
And then I try to build the hello world project on nativescript.org: http://docs.nativescript.org/angular/tutorial/ng-chapter-1. But I was given the error below:

:preBuild UP-TO-DATE

Same error as above

Hey @sancteor,

Can you build normal Android projects using Android Studio? It seems that Android SDK is corrupted - you may need to reinstall it.

[sancteor]

Thank for your reply @enchev,
Yes, I can. My old project still work. And new simple project is working too.

[enchev]

In this case, as far as I understand, you are all set now?

[sancteor]

@enchev, Yes! but I don't know why I still got errors.

[enchev]

Hey @slavchev @Plamen5kov @blagoev do yo know why the build is failing here?

This looks like mine.
Another clue is in that I answered in this link.
but that time I had wrong AVD configuration so I don't know if that succeeded or not.

Hi @sancteor
Couldn't reproduce the problem, I did:

• git clone https://github.com/NativeScript/sample-Groceries.git
• cd sample-Groceries
• git checkout angular-start
• tns run android

[sancteor]

@Plamen5kov Thanks!
Today I tried it again. The result is, Running four lines of commands, First time is pretty good. The emulator started and appeared but it could not run the program. Then I only ran $tns run android, got that error again.

Let me share my case. I've been stuck with this error for three weeks. Trying to solve it with several methods i.e. update Android SDK, use older Gradle and NativeScript, copy all necessary files from a working PC, change attributes and permissions of project's and files' folders, update Windows to support long folder's path but none did work.

The only solution I accomplished for Windows is to set Region/Format (in Control Panel) to English (US) and that's all. Hope this could help.

@usurapong please provide steps to reproduce and I'll try and help.
