Android/Windows: `sdkmanager --licenses` doesn't persist when run as non-administrator #16065

natem34 · 2018-03-29T15:50:05Z

When I run flutter doctor, "Android licenses not accepted. To resolve this, run: flutter doctor --android-licenses" is the only thing it's cranky about. When I run the command, and hit "y" to accept each license and rerun flutter doctor, it still complains about the android licenses.

I posted the same thing on the Google groups for flutter, and it was suggested this is a bug and that I should post it here.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Can you include the output of flutter --verbose doctor -v?

tvolkert · 2018-03-29T16:18:33Z

(this is the output of flutter doctor -v, which is not as verbose)

tvolkert · 2018-03-29T16:19:14Z

@cbracken suggests that this may be getting caused because you have two Android Studio installations -- Flutter detects one, and you accept licenses on another. Could that be the case?

Thanks! One more 😄 -- can you run the following and attach the generated bug report ZIP file here?

flutter doctor --bug-report --android-licenses

natem34 · 2018-03-29T16:41:06Z

Sure, thanks for your help.

Mahi-K · 2018-03-30T04:22:35Z

hi, @natem34 , yes flutter complains about this issue if you have first installed it or trying run your project for the first time on any android device, i think you could try and create an android project in AndroidStudio and accept all the licenses in AndroidStudio and then run the flutter doctor -v and see if this helps. if the framework still complains about not accepting licenses, you can run flutter doctor --android-licenses and click yes to accept. Thank you , this happened to me and i did the same and its fine now.

Herohtar · 2018-03-30T05:40:35Z

I think this is actually related to/duplicate of #16025.

natem34 · 2018-03-30T18:59:44Z

@Mahi-K, that a fact huh? Ok, I will try to create a new project from Android studio and see if I can accept the licenses from there. Seems weird that the instructions tell you to run flutter doctor during the setup, but doesn't say that it's cool to continue given certain errors. Oh well... I guess that's why it's in beta right? :)

@Herohtar I'll check that out. I did do a search for the issue, my apologies if I missed duplicates.

tvolkert · 2018-03-30T19:15:32Z

@natem34 strange - everything in the bug report looks like it behaved normally when you accepted the licenses (assuming you hit "y" when prompted). But you're saying that if you run it again, it prompts you again like it didn't record the acceptance the first time?

natem34 · 2018-04-01T18:25:03Z

@tvolkert I did hit "y" when prompted. And yes, you are correct. If I run it again (flutter doctor) it prompts me like I never accepted the licenses.

tvolkert · 2018-04-02T19:44:06Z

@natem34 I wonder if we're not piping the stdin correctly under certain circumstances or something...

Can you reproduce this by manually running the sdkmanager?

C:\AndroidStudio\sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager --licenses

If you run that yourself and accept all the licenses... then run it again... does it still prompt you to accept the licenses again? (and if not, does flutter stop complaining?)

natem34 · 2018-04-02T20:18:23Z

Okay, that brings up an interesting point... and I may have messed up the troubleshooting of this. When I browsed to the location for the sdkmanager, I then went to file (from windows explorer) and opened powershell as administrator (just running on autopilot). I went through the steps and accepted all the licenses, then (from the same powershell window) ran flutter doctor. All is well now. What I don't know is this. Did it work because I followed your step and went through the sdkmanager, or did it work because of the elevated powershell. I can't recall if I was using an administrator cmd prompt before... but I'd wager a guess I wasn't.

tvolkert · 2018-04-03T16:18:49Z

Chances are that you weren't using an administrator cmd prompt before, which meant that the process that the flutter tool spawned to run sdkmanager --licenses also wasn't running as administrator.

What's weird, though, is that the bug report you attached shows that the process acknowledged that you accepted all licenses and returned with a successful exit code, which can also be seen here:

flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/android/android_workflow.dart

Line 235 in 6c8c824

return exitCode == 0;

So it would seem that when run as non-administrator, the sdkmanager command allows you to accept the licenses, but it doesn't record that acceptance, causing it to immediately think you still haven't accepted them?

In any case, I'm going to close this since you're no longer seeing it, so our ability to debug is diminished.

Hello friends, I would like to know if you could solve this problem, I am currently installing flutter, but when running flutter doctor generates the following:

look every thing is fine you just need to set the JAVA_HOME variable with java jdk path

sahil904 · 2018-09-27T10:49:07Z

flutter doctor --android-licenses

this is the best solution for this issue

can someone tell me whats wrong with my JAVA_HOME? i cant update my sdk because of this error message
