How To Fix "couldn't Follow Symbolic Link" In Android Studio?

I'm now running an Android App project on Windows and running into the condition Error:Could not list contents of 'D:\source\App\src\main\res\drawable'. Couldn't follow symboli

Solution 1:

Next time to save time you can run the following command:

find . -type l -exectest ! -e {} \; -delete

Solution 2:

Still do not know the real reason but problem solved by re-checkout source. Clean build did not work so I guess there's just something wrong in the project build-up steps.

Solution 3:

Removing .bin did not work, but rm -rf node_modules && npm install did the trick.

Solution 4:

Navigate to node modules folder of particular package, and delete the .bin folder

Eg:

Task :app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'.

  Could not list contents of '/home/centillion/Documents/CMC/cmc-mobile-repo/node_modules/react-native-image-slider/node_modules/.bin/flow'. Couldn't follow symbolic link.

For this case, navigate to node modules/react-native-image-slider/node modules and delete .bin folder and rerun. NOTE: To view hidden folders, press CTRL + H

Solution 5:

I have always resolved this issue by using unlink followed by the path where it's not finding symbolic link.

example: unlink ./bin/uuid
