Error building android project with gradle using teamcity

Question

Using team city to build and android app. keep getting an error.

[16:59:38] [Step 1/1] Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. org.gradle.internal.UncheckedException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: Android resource compilation failed Output: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\appcompat-v7-28.0.0.aar\3467ebf6f9d1bb66db4bdb226db55512\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\abc_ic_menu_share_mtrl_alpha.png: error: file not found.

Command: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\aapt2-3.2.1-4818971-windows.jar\8a1ce91548f2547bb27874a553d3981d\aapt2-3.2.1-4818971-windows\aapt2.exe compile --no-crunch \ --legacy \ -o \ C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\7028d0f31da34ed0\Workshop\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug \ C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\appcompat-v7-28.0.0.aar\3467ebf6f9d1bb66db4bdb226db55512\res\drawable-hdpi-v4\abc_ic_menu_share_mtrl_alpha.png Daemon: AAPT2 aapt2-3.2.1-4818971-windows Daemon #1

The file it says it can't find is definitely there. I'm a .net developer with hardly any experience of android development so I have no idea what to look at next in order to fix this. please help.

Have you tried deleting the file, which seems to be an image, and adding it back to the project? Maybe it is an issue of references. — tomerpacific, Dec 14 '18 at 10:04
do you have this image abc_ic_menu_share_mtrl_alpha .png in your drawable-hdpi-v4?? @user1450877 — Asteroid, Dec 14 '18 at 10:04
Clean the project and Run, the file which is showing is coming from v4 libs. — King of Masses, Dec 14 '18 at 10:07
I don't have a drawable-hdpi-v4 folder as part of my project. but the folder and file does exist on the path the error message shows — user1450877, Dec 14 '18 at 10:10

AAPT2 still seems to have some trouble with long paths on Windows. Try moving your gradle cache closer to C:\ to shorten the file path.

Here's an answer on how to change the cache location: How to set gradle cache location?
