Use adb in path by default

Describe the bug adb must be passed to bundletool, is it possible that it could use the adb executable in my path.

Bundletool version(s) affected Version: 0.6.0

Stacktrace [BT:0.6.0] Error: Unable to determine the location of ADB. Please set the --adb flag or define ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

To Reproduce Use bundletool without providing an adb

Expected behavior It would default to the adb on my path

Environment: OS: Linux

Is there a simpler way to resolve this ANDROID_HOME path error?

For instance, I’m attempting to use Android’s bundletool but am receiving the error:

Unable to determine the location of ADB. Please set the --adb flag or define ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

Attempted Command

bundletool-all-0.6.0.jar build-apks --bundle=/path/app.aab --output=/path/app.apks --ks=/path/coinverse-release.jks --ks-pass=file:/path/keyname.pwd --ks-key-alias="appname-release" --key-pass=file:/path/keystores/key.pwd --connected-device

Current Solution By defining the ANDROID_HOME path in my .bash_profile for my Macbook Pro resolved the issue as described in this Stackoverflow post.

1. cd ~
2. ls -a (look to make sure .bash_profile is in the folder you are in)
3. vi .bash_profile
4. Add the following lines: export ANDROID_HOME={androidSdkPath} (ie: /Users/adamhurwitz/Library/Android/sdk/) export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Note: When attempting to use –adb in the path it does not work with the following error.

com.android.tools.build.bundletool.exceptions.CommandExecutionException: Failed to start ADB server.

Could you set the environment variable ANDROID_HOME with the path to the SDK? Then, bundletool would be able to find adb in it.
