'cordova run android' does not deploy the app to emulator

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Problem

‘cordova run android’ doesn’t deploy the app to the emulator. It just gets to a point that it loops over and over

What is expected to happen?

It should deploy and launch the app on the emulator

What does actually happen?

The output below is what I get using the --verbose option.

As you can see, it is just looping and not doing anything.
The same project runs just fine on another machine. It works like it should when I import the platforms/android folder to Android Studio and run the project. Tried ‘adb logcat’, doesn’t show anything.

Command or Code

cordova run android --verbose
