debug: file not found in Android 1.0

Question

Today I updated to Android Studio v 1.0 and I'm getting the following error when trying to compile whatever project.

....\app\build\intermediates\classes\debug: file not found

The thing is that before updating it I had no problems. Here is the code I'm actually trying to compile.

build.grade

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "razvitrance.testnavdrawerplz"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.3'
}

build.gradle (for the project)

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

And the activity code is a simple Navigation Drawer. Thank you for helping.

This is the erorr i'm getting. Error after 1.0 update

I tried deleting and creating the project many times. I think the problem is the NavDrawer and the libraries or the update. — Razvi, Dec 12 '14 at 19:49

Check this and this answers.

Generally, you will need to delete your grandle file and let Android Studio generate the one it thinks that it is correct, as it is being mentioned in the given posts. Happened to me too when i upgrated to newer version and that solved my problem.

if none of the above works for you, consider unistalling and re-installing the _Android Studio_. You won't need to install `sdk` since you should have it in a separate folder from Android Studio, so you will not loose big amount of time. – Menelaos Kotsollaris Dec 16 '14 at 20:32
I just re-installed all the android studio itself, the error still persists. I changed the workspase, i deleted the .gradles, I don't know what else to do. – Razvi Dec 16 '14 at 20:34
Have you tried instead of `minifyEnabled` to use `runProguard`? – Menelaos Kotsollaris Dec 16 '14 at 20:40
After 8000 thousand of hours I got it done. I changed the pathname so it contains no strange symbols. Ingeniería became ingenieria and contraseñas became contrasennas. Now it works. I just have no idea why before 1.0 it worked with #Ingeniería but now it only works with Ingeniera. Thanks for helping me :) – Razvi Dec 16 '14 at 20:49
Yeah avoid using any other language but English because it can get you in really big trouble out of nowhere. Cheers! – Menelaos Kotsollaris Dec 16 '14 at 20:56

It seems that Android Studio does not recognize non-alphanumeric symbols in path (cyrillic, for example). I had the same problem, and it was solved with creating project in another folder not containing cyrillic symbols in its path. In your case it may be '#' synmbol that makes a trouble
