android update project -p .
Error: . is not a valid project (AndroidManifest.xml not found).

cool, the android manifest is actually a couple directories deep. ill skip this for now

next step


gradle build
:buildSrc:clean
:buildSrc:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:buildSrc:compileGroovy

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:compileGroovy’.
Cause: You must assign a Groovy library to the groovy configuration!

* Try:
Run with –stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with –info or –debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 2.374 secs

well that went well. Probably because I have a super old version of gradle by default with ubuntu that doesnt include the groovy configs by default.

Installing the latest and greatest gradle fixed it. Overall I enjoy apt-get but this seems to be a recurring problem!
