How to solve linter crashing during build analysis?

Question

I have installed an Android Studio, export project and project is building correctly. But I am trying to build the same project in terminal. I run ./gradlew build in terminal, and gets errors.

> Task :UniterModule:lintDebug FAILED
Lint found 20 errors, 129 warnings. First failure:

/uniter/repo/repo_pull/mobile/UniterModule/src/main/java/com/uniter/mobile/ui/activities/BaseActivity.kt: Error: Unexpected failure during lint analysis of BaseActivity.kt (this is a bug in lint or one of the libraries it depends on)


The full lint text report is located at:
  /uniter/repo/repo_pull/mobile/UniterModule/build/intermediates/lint_intermediate_text_report/debug/lint-results-debug.txt

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':UniterModule:lintDebug'.
> Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.
  
  Fix the issues identified by lint, or create a baseline to see only new errors:
  ```
  android {
      lint {
          baseline = file("lint-baseline.xml")
      }
  }
  ```

Building in terminal is successful when i use ./gradlew -x lint

Settings on Android Studio are:

Gradle JDK

Android Gradle Plugin

Modules

Settings on PC:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 7.3.3

I set in .bashrc path to Android SDK

ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/home/kamil/Android/Sdk/"
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

Could You tell me where is the problem.

The build is failed because there are problems in the project which were found by the static analyser (lint).

You can:

fix the reported issues (the report file path can be found under the "The full lint text report is located at:" line in the output)
ignore issues by using the @SuppressLint annotation or specifying them in the lint.xml file
ignore the lint status during build by specifying the following flag in the build.gradle file:

android {
...
  lintOptions {
    abortOnError false
  }
}

specify a baseline with the current lint status in the build.gradle file:

android {
...
  lintOptions {
    baseline file("lint-baseline.xml")
  }
}

See https://developer.android.com/studio/write/lint for further details.

I don't want to suppress issue, as I wrote there is no issue when building by android studio, building project is successful. I would like to know hot to set linux to build project like android studio. – Kamil Sz May 12 '22 at 14:17
The static analysis (lint) is not part of the Android Studio build by default. Android Studio does not use the "gradle build" command but "gradle assembleDebug" or something similar. You can run the checks manually inside the IDE from the Code > Inspect Code... menu.

I came across a similar issue.

In my case, a custom class such as BaseActivity.kt here could be, was missing the package information at the top of the file.

Setting the package and running linter again fixed the issue instead of simply bypassing the error/warning.
