[win10] Appium cannot find bundletool.jar in the PATH with node-which and where command

The problem

appium-doctor 1.9.0 cant find my local bundletool-all-0.8.0.jar

Environment

windows 10 os version 17763.348 appium 1.11.1 appium-doctor 1.9.0 nodejs 10.15.1 npm 6.4.1 android sdk

Details

The hard one was the bundletool.jar - here are the steps I followed for that:

Searched for ‘bundletool.jar’ and found a place to download it from Google - I got ‘bundletool-all-0.8.0.jar’ from https://github.com/google/bundletool/releases

I renamed this file to just ‘bundletool.jar’ and placed in my Android SDK folder, under its own sub-folder called ‘bundle-tools’ - full path: D:\Android\android-sdk\bundle-tools\

Added the ‘bundle-tools’ folder to Path with the following addition in my PATH

Now running which ‘bundletool.jar’ is happy and finds it in the ‘bundle-tools’ folder I created (see step 2)

Running ‘appium-doctor’ is now satisfied - and doesn’t report any missing dependencies

I can use bundletool like this

@KazuCocoa I guess your operating system is mac

So you don’t have a system environment to verify this.

Appium is very easy to install and use under Mac and ubuntu.

But there are always many strange problems under Windows.

I recommend that testing be strengthened in three systems environments before release

After adding .JAR to PATHEXT , my appium-doctor can then report bundletool.jar installed. Also, node-which bundletool.jar can find it too.
