I am trying to build Chromium for Android on an Ubuntu 16.04(LTS) machine as an Android Studio project.

I have followed all the instructions from below url: this is successfully done

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/android_build_instructions.md#Installing-and-Running-Chromium-on-a-device/

and then to create the Gradle for android studio, I followed the below.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/android_studio.md

and when I hit the below command in terminal. I got the below error.

build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py --output-directory out/Debug

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py", line 955, in
main() File "build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py", line 860, in main build_vars = _ReadPropertiesFile(os.path.join(output_dir, 'build_vars.txt')) File "build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py", line 111, in _ReadPropertiesFile with open(path) as f: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/user/chromium/src/out/Debug/build_vars.txt'

Please, anyone, guide me to fix the error.

check your build_vars.txt file path

~/code/chromium_80.0.3987.132/src$ find -name build_vars.txt

./out/Default/build_vars.txt

change the command to

./build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py --output-directory out/Default/
