Cordova-Android build fails on Azure pipeline whereas the same project work perfectly fine on local build

[EeshaRoy]

Hello Cordova build android pipeline on Azure DevOps is throwing error with old cordova version or latest version. But grunt build android is running perfectly fine on my local project. So I believe this is some problem with new version of some tasks. Could you look and fix it ?

Thanks,

What is expected to happen?

Build is supposed to finish successfully by running all scripts the same project work perfectly fine on my local build

What does actually happen?

Information

You can see the list of plugins with versions

Command or Code

Cordova build Android

Environment, Platform, Device

This issue is happening on Azure pipelines and even if I use cordova android version 8.1.0 the issue is same build fails on cordova build android script or cordova prepare android script. The same pipeline used to work with cordova 6 version previously but from june first week it started failing, so tried updating all plugin versions and cordova version to latest and local build work perfectly fine I am able to get debug apk. But to deploy changes release apk is failing at those shown scripts

Version information

Checklist

• - I searched for existing GitHub issues

• I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version

• I included all the necessary information above

Like Norman already said in your other issue:

Based on the stacktrace, the issue appears to be inside taco-team-build package.

Unfortunately, we can't help with issues that are coming from cloud providers. I assume you need to seek support via Azure/taco-team-build.
