What happens if you try something like:

$ ./gradlew assembleDebug

[GithubRyze]

the same error!! but when remove the getVersionName in build.gradle , its build success!! Dose git environment setup have some problems in my PC??

[grbIzl]

It seems, that git is not installed\added to PATH: "A problem occurred starting process 'command 'git'' Check in command line git --version. If it doesn't find git, add it manually or simply install from https://git-scm.com/download/win and restart studio.

[pk-development]

I'd the same issue on windows 64bit machine only way I could get this error fixed was to temporary disable this code. I've also updated Android Studio and Gradle

inside the build.grade file

git is also installed and shows from command line. Hope this helps cheers

We only ever work on UNIX (GNU/Linux and OSX) so it is not surprising that there are issues on Windows. We rarely encounter bug reports even from Windows. That code snippet just needs git in the PATH somewhere, which is possible on Windows too. Perhaps its easier to use Cygwin or WSL or something, but I'm just guessing. Patches are welcome for making that work on Windows.

[percy-g2]

in logs i see "java.lang.IllegalStateException: compileSdkVersion is not specified.", go to project structure -> click on haven module in bottom left then check for properties of compile sdk and click ok.

[pk-development]

@eighthave I usually have linux but last laptop died, and work I'm doing at the moment I've to use windows.

(Update: The above issue works fine now and I've included the code back in, Must have been an issue with git). Not really sure what I did but compiling fine.

Just add Git path to your system variables with name PATH and set the SDK path in settings of android.
