app declares a dependency from configuration 'compile' to configuration 'default' which is not declared in the descriptor for project

Question

I am importing a library module named \"wear\" in my project and while building, I am getting this:

Error : A problem occurred configuring project \':app\'.

This error usually occurs when Gradle cannot find a particular component. I experienced this when trying to use the Salesforce React Native Android example.

The error message you get looks like the one you posted ... in my case it was

Project :app declares a dependency from configuration 'compile' to configuration 'default' which is not declared in the descriptor for project :libs:SalesforceReact.

I found my Gradle settings file ( called settings.gradle ) in the projects android directory. The start of it looked like this

rootProject.name = 'SmartSyncExplorerReactNative'

def libsRootDir = new File( settingsDir, '../node_modules/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android/libs' )
include ':app'

include ':libs:SalesforceReact'
project( ':libs:SalesforceReact' ).projectDir = new File( libsRootDir, 'SalesforceReact' )

In this case, the path given in libsRootDir did not exist (as these libraries actually came from a different repository which I cloned and then pointed this path to!).

Once I had corrected the path, save the settings file and reran, everything worked smoothly.

I hope this helps, Jonathan.
