[Android Studio] Errors after Capacitor update in Android Studio

See original GitHub issue

[X] I would to submit a bug or support question

Current behavior

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or just something I should ignore, but each time I update capacitor in my existing test project, build, copy and then open Android Studio I face the following errors (first error popup straight after Android Studio open, the other one after automatic build)

16.03.18 15:02 Unsupported Modules Detected: Compilation is not supported for following modules: assets-capacitor-android-plugins~1, capacitor-android-plugins. Unfortunately you can’t have non-Gradle Java modules and Android-Gradle modules in one project.

15:02 Unregistered VCS root detected The directory /Users/me/Documents/projects/lab/capacitor-camera is under Git, but is not registered in the Settings. Add root Configure Ignore

15:03 Gradle sync started

15:03 Error Loading Project: Cannot load module assets-capacitor-android-plugins Details…

15:03 Platform and Plugin Updates: The following components are ready to update: Android Emulator, Google Play services

15:03 Project setup started

15:03 Gradle sync failed: java.lang.NullPointerException (41s 709ms)

Expected behavior

No error I guess, but like I said, maybe I do something wrong

Current way to solve this

To solve this, each time I remove the “platform”

rm -r android

and then add it again

npx cap add android
npx cap sync
npx cap open android

Steps to reproduce

npm remove --save @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
npm install --save @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
ionic build --prod
npx cap copy
npx cap open android

p.s.: all the above steps are successful and produce no errors
