I'm developing a mobile app with Ionic 4, Capacitor and some Cordova plugins and have run into a problem when attempting to run the app on Android. Android Studio refuses to run the project and prints the following error:

ERROR: Unable to find module with Gradle path ':capacitor-cordova-android-plugins' (needed by module 'app'.)

If you cant find the folder capacitor-cordova-android-plugins inside the android project folder, you need to run a capacitor command to create it (and update plugin variables):
