Build "compilation error" but the inspector picks up nothing

Question

I've been stuck for a few hours, and can't get it released.

It gives me the regular Compilation error. See log for more details Usually I'd be finding an error in the code somewhere, or just run the inspector on the app module and it picks up the error, and after it's fixed, the build works.

This time, neither I or the inspector pick up any errors in the code.

It happened after I tried to integrate Algolia. But I've tried to revert all the I've done and the error persists. How to I get out of it?

Edit: I see now the kotlin compiler gives me errors. It says for a few functions: Calls to static methods in Java interfaces are prohibited in JVM target 1.6. Recompile with '-jvm-target 1.8'

In my settings kotlin is set to compile wit 1.8 and in my app gradle I have these:

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

After building the eventLog shows this (even though it failed)

26-Jun-19
16:53   Executing tasks: [:app:assembleDebug]

16:53   Gradle build finished in 11 s 543 ms

Edit: After adding this to my gradle

android {
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
}

thanks to an answer in a thread suggested by Shivam, the error now changed to the following:

com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'META-INF/ktor-client-serialization.kotlin_module'

This error actually existed about an hour ago, and then it disappeared. Now it's back. It feels like Android Studio keeps changing what bothers it in the code. I will try to look more into this error now.

This is how it looks

org.gradle.api.GradleException: Compilation error. See log for more details

try Build-> rebuild project and if that does not work, file->invalidate caches and restart — Kushan, Jun 26 '19 at 06:40
I have had similar issues when xml´s have double `````` tag at the begining of the file. — reixa, Jun 26 '19 at 06:41
@Slaw I've edited the question to show what I see. I'm not sure what you mean, does this answer your question? If not please tell me what you need and I'll get it. — Tsabary, Jun 26 '19 at 06:43
@ShivamOberoi honestly, I never really got what the logs are? I'm a beginner of course. I always thought that what I've attached ARE the build logs. If not, where are the logs? The logcat shows nothing relevant as far as I can tell. — Tsabary, Jun 26 '19 at 06:44
@ShivamOberoi I've updated my question to show the eventLog, it doesn't really show any information. Is there something I need to click to see this information? Tried to click the different errors in the build output but t remains the same — Tsabary, Jun 26 '19 at 06:57
It generally says change your java version nothing else try rebuilding the project after checking whole project has java 1.8 — Shivam Oberoi, Jun 26 '19 at 06:58
@ShivamOberoi where else should I be looking for the java 1.8? As you can see in the image I've attached my gradle is already set to build with 1.8, and in my settings in Kotlin compiler the Target JVM version is also set to 1.8 — Tsabary, Jun 26 '19 at 07:00
try this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48601549/why-kotlin-gradle-plugin-cannot-build-with-1-8-target — Shivam Oberoi, Jun 26 '19 at 07:03
I was actually looking for the "raw" output from Gradle. In IntelliJ IDEA, this would be displayed in the "Run" tab when executed through a run configuration. Android Studio may do things slightly differently. Anyway, your images show multiple "_Calls to static methods in Java interfaces are prohibited in JVM target 1.6. Recompile with '-jvm-target 1.8'_" errors. The link given by Shivam may help you. — Slaw, Jun 26 '19 at 07:06
I added some code based on the answer in the thread Shivam suggested. Now the error had changed, or actually reverted to an error I had about an hour or so ago that suddenly disappeared. Guess it's still there. Going down the rabbit hole. I've added the details in the question — Tsabary, Jun 26 '19 at 07:13

Regarding your new (or not-so-new) error, consider asking a new question if you can't find a solution. However, there appears [to be a decent number of questions](https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bandroid%5D++is%3Aquestion+More+than+one+file+was+found+with+OS+independent+path) with similar errors. — Slaw, Jun 26 '19 at 08:37

sometimes android studio gets stuck stupidly on such things

I'm not quite sure exactly what you mean, and it sounds a bit risky for me as a beginner to play with. If you could be more clear that would help. – Tsabary Jun 26 '19 at 06:58
Just show image and remove i selected folder in i already gave image and run your app – Hitech P Jun 26 '19 at 07:02

I ended up finding this:

   packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/*.kotlin_module'
    }

in this article and it fixxed it. Not sure here this even came from but I'm happy it's done..
