While I was developing small code for checking device information, after I edited our sample code downloaded from github and tried to compile app from command line as shown below, I encountered an error as $ ./gradlew clean build < Task :app:lint FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:lint'. > No value has been specified for property 'lintClassPath'.

Implementation details

* Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights. * Get more help at https://help.gradle.org BUILD FAILED in 0s 3 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 2 up-to-date Solution Which Worked : As we can see above there is no clear information regarding what went wrong in the compilation, hence last option I thought was to may be some version mismatch hence let Android Studio do some auto updates and we can try how it goes. Hence, as I opened the project from Android Studio, Studio created following two files automatically, new file: .idea/codeStyles/Project.xml new file: .idea/vcs.xml And after just opening from Android Studio and then try recompile from command line..

Gotchas and common issues

  • Permission checks - verify user access rights and sudo privileges before executing system-level operations.

  • Environment configuration - double-check path variables and dependency versions to prevent runtime failures.

  • Backup safeguards - maintain configuration backups before applying system or database modifications.

Following these steps ensures clean configuration and reliable execution for solved: no value has been specified for property ‘lintclasspath’.
