Aapt2 issue with jenkins build Android

Question

I'm using Jenkins to build my android application. I have an issue with Aapt2 when I'm trying to build task "assemble".
I have added the android.enableAapt2 = true but I still have the issue.

Error :

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
> java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: Android resource compilation failed

I haved add the log error. The issue is with the task app:mergeDebugResources — Younes Ben Tlili
I have resolve the issue by creating a new env. var GRADLE_USER_HOME. It is used to update the path of gradle cache. — Younes Ben Tlili

Looks like aapt2 is having trouble parsing the file path (it's too long). You can either try upgrading to the newest android gradle plugin which has better support for long paths, or you can try moving your gradle cache closer to the C: root.
