react.gradle doesn't create index.android.bundle - Android

I created a sample project using ‘react-native init project’ on Mac OS.

When I run ./gradlew assembleRelease no index.android.bundle file gets created. Plus no react related tasks appear in Android Studio.

It seems like the command: commandLine "node", "node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js", "bundle", "--platform", "android", "--dev", "${devEnabled}", "--entry-file", entryFile, "--bundle-output", jsBundleFile, "--assets-dest", resourcesDir doesn’t run. When I run the same command manually everything works smoothly.

Not sure how relevant this is but the command :```

            doFirst {
                   jsBundleDir.mkdirs()
                  resourcesDir.mkdirs()
            }

Also doesn’t work, unless I take both commands outside the “doFirst”.

Any suggestions ?

You said exactly right. In Android Studio, go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler, the option Configure on demand is checked by default for speeding up builds, uncheck it then everything is ok now.

I face the same problem , and I did not add org.gradle.configureondemand=true in my gradle.properties, assembleRelease does not run bundleReleaseJsAndAssets task.
