Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found.

Hi there. I am attempting to build my Android project through GitLab CI/CD. It builds fine on Windows but not on this Linux image. Specifically, I receive this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script '/builds/project/frontend/node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/platforms/android/include.gradle' line: 95

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.
> Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found.

Here is the configuration I am using:

frontend_android_build:
  stage: build
  image: node:10
  variables:
    ANDROID_COMPILE_SDK: "28"
    ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS: "28.0.3"

    - npm install nativescript -g --unsafe-perm
    - tns doctor
  script:
    - cd frontend
    - tns install
    - tns build android

I know that my CI configuration is not the responsibility or problem of the maintainers of this repository, I am just looking for help if anyone is able to offer it. I appreciate any help at all.

I am slowly narrowing down the issue and have noticed the following difference between the working and non-working builds:

Working:

Project successfully prepared (android)

Configure firebase

Copy D:\...\project\frontend\App_Resources\Android\google-services.json to D:\...\project\frontend\platforms\android\app\google-services.json.

Building project...

Non-Working:

Project successfully prepared (android)
Building project...

The “Configure firebase” and copying of google-services.json just never seems to happen. I imagine this has something to do with gradle and post-install scripts.

Full build logs:

$ tns doctor

Unfortunately I cannot provide my repo source code since this is for a school project and is closed source until I graduate; however I can provide any configurations needed. Like I said though, it builds just fine and runs fine on Windows, and MacOS too. This seems like a Linux/Docker problem. Thanks for any advice!

#278 This is old issue.

Remove node_modules and platform.

yarn install
tns build android

[MitchTalmadge]

I solved this by adding the following line to my configuration, after npm install and before tns install:

(cd node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase && npm run setup)

Basically you navigate into the nativescript-plugin-firebase directory created during npm install and then run the setup script manually.
