I had exactly the same error, when I was using the google plus plugin. I tried to move the project to a smaller path and it worked.

Searching a bit more about it, it seems that Google has a 240 characters size limitation to the path. Another possible solution, is to add to your platforms/android/build.gradle, inside allprojects, this line:

buildDir = "C:/tmp/${rootProject.name}/${project.name}"

Now your build file will be moved to a smaller path and the problem will disappear.

Please change path of your project folder previous path have to long Example d:projects/tfs/demos/ionic/projects/project_Name to projects/project_name folder

or

by using "subst" command in command prompt like below

d:projects/tfs/demos/ionic/projects/project_Name folder :subst i: . it will make "i" drive in PC, "i" drive open your project and build it
