Describe the bug

On running the command ns doctor, I get this message

× The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set or it points to a non-existent directory. You will not be able to perform any build-related operations for Android.

However, I have the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT env var set which is equivalent to ANDROID_HOME.

To Reproduce

Run ns doctor

Expected behavior I expected it to detect the Android SDK using the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT env var.

Sample project

Additional context

https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/variables#envar

The ANDROID_HOME env var is deprecated. Refer to the link above.

Please guide me on how to fix this.

You could pack the doctor package with npm pack and in the CLI npm install /path/to/nativescript-doctor....tgz.

Not sure how you are running the CLI, the quickest way that I’ve been using lately is npx grunt watch:ts and then run the CLI with the full path to it /path/to/nativescript-cli/bin/nativescript.js doctor for example.

Either way is fine, don’t think it matters too much.

Just to keep it as it is now, look for ANDROID_HOME and then fall back to ANDROID_SDK_ROOT for now - we can always switch this out in the future if we need to.
