[Android] GenerateAutolinkingNewArchitecturesFileTask still emits invalid add_subdirectory entries on 0.83.1 when JNI codegen dirs are missing

[sagnik2001]

Description

Description

This still reproduces for me on React Native 0.83.1 with New Architecture enabled.

The generated Android-autolinking.cmake contains unconditional
add_subdirectory(...) entries for JNI/codegen directories under dependencies, e.g.

node_modules/<package>/android/build/generated/source/codegen/jni/

During ./gradlew clean, some of those directories do not exist, and CMake fails with:

add_subdirectory given source ".../jni/" which is not an existing directory

This prevents clean/build from completing.

A local fix is to update
GenerateAutolinkingNewArchitecturesFileTask.kt
so generated CMake:

• wraps add_subdirectory(...) with if(EXISTS ...)
• only appends the library to AUTOLINKED_LIBRARIES if that directory was actually added

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable New Architecture
2. Install dependencies
3. Run ./gradlew clean
4. Observe failure in generated Android-autolinking.cmake

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 10.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/9.0.0/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

BUILD FAILED in 4s

MANDATORY Reproducer

https://github.com/Sagniknewme09/React-native-gradle-plugin-test

Public reproducer repo:
https://github.com/Sagniknewme09/React-native-gradle-plugin-test

Repro steps:

1. npm install
2. cd android
3. ./gradlew clean

Observed:
Generated Android-autolinking.cmake contains unconditional add_subdirectory(...) entries for missing build/generated/source/codegen/jni directories, and clean fails.

Expected:
./gradlew clean should succeed even when those generated JNI directories do not exist yet.

Missing reproducer: We could not detect a reproducible example in your issue report. Reproducers are mandatory and we can accept only one of those as a valid reproducer:

• For majority of bugs: send us a Pull Request with the RNTesterPlayground.js edited to reproduce your bug.
• If your bug is UI related: a Snack
• If your bug is build/upgrade related: a project using our Reproducer Template

You can read more about about it on our website: How to report a bug.

[sagnik2001]

Added a public build reproducer and updated the report.

Repo:
https://github.com/Sagniknewme09/React-native-gradle-plugin-test

This is a build/autolinking regression repro, not a Snack/RNTester case.
Could you please review the issue again with the attached reproducer?

[sagnik2001]

I was able to work around this locally by patching
GenerateAutolinkingNewArchitecturesFileTask.kt.

What I changed:

• wrap each generated add_subdirectory(...) entry in if(EXISTS "...")
• only append a library to AUTOLINKED_LIBRARIES if that native directory was actually added
• initialize AUTOLINKED_LIBRARIES as empty first, instead of unconditionally listing every generated target

Why this fixes it:
Android-autolinking.cmake currently assumes every autolinked JNI/codegen directory exists.
During ./gradlew clean, many of those directories are absent, so CMake fails immediately on
add_subdirectory(...), and then target_link_libraries(...) also fails because those targets
were never created.

With the guard in place:

• existing JNI/codegen dirs are included normally
• missing dirs are skipped safely
• ./gradlew clean succeeds

I verified this locally:

• unpatched: ./gradlew clean fails with missing build/generated/source/codegen/jni/ directories
• patched: ./gradlew clean succeeds

If this direction looks correct, I can open a PR with the change.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve added a proper reproducer using the template here: https://github.com/Sagniknewme09/React-native-gradle-plugin-test

What I changed: - wrap each generated add_subdirectory(...) entry in if(EXISTS "...") - only append a library to AUTOLINKED_LIBRARIES if that native directory was actually added - initialize AUTOLINKED_LIBRARIES as empty first, instead of unconditionally listing every generated target Why this fixes it: Android-autolinking.cmake currently assumes every autolinked JNI/codegen directory exists. During ./gradlew clean, many of those directories are absent, so CMake fails immediately on add_subdirectory(...), and then target_link_libraries(...) also fails because those targets were never created. With the guard in place: - existing JNI/codegen dirs are included normally - missing dirs are skipped safely - ./gradlew clean succeeds I verified this locally: - unpatched: ./gradlew clean fails with missing build/generated/source/codegen/jni/ directories - patched: ./gradlew clean succeeds If this direction looks correct, I can open a PR with the change. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#56334 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/B7GEOJNQVG7IBPZDOA5T3AL4UKVT5AVCNFSM6AAAAACXNNUXXSVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHM2DCOBZGM3TKMZUHA> .
