Ran into a weird error invoking kotlin toolchain today triggered by something in my path, not sure what. 🧵
Here’s the error I was getting:
Copy code
$ kotlin package --module host
WARNING: Found a project.yaml in '/Users/wphillips/Development/brevity/brevity-integration-tests/build/BrevityExecutionTester/primitives', but the wrapper script is missing; using Kotlin Toolchain v0.12.0.

Internal error: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /Users/bphillips

Please check the build logs for the full stacktrace, and if possible file a bug report at <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=AMPER>
This is in the scenario described here: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C062WG3A7T8/p1788376267888869?thread_ts=1788376166.626229&amp;cid=C062WG3A7T8 …lots of autogenned projects being run
The weird thing about this error (and the reason I was flummoxed for a bit) is that 
bphillips
is not actually my home directory on this machine:
Copy code
$ echo $HOME
/Users/wphillips
It was my home directory on an older machine, however, which I had copy-pasted my dotfiles from.

Hi Bridget! Thanks for letting us know your troubles (and sorry you're facing internal errors!). Do you still have access to the build logs from this error? They should be in 
<projectRoot>/build/logs/amper_<date>_...
I would just like to see the stacktrace to know at which point we're trying to access this 
/Users/bphillips
directory

I believe these were the offending env vars before I fixed them:
Copy code
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/games:/Users/bphillips/devtools/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:/Users/bphillips/devtools/android-sdk-macosx/tools:/Users/bphillips/bin:/usr/lib:/Users/bphillips/devtools/android-ndk-r8b:/Users/bphillips/devtools/android-ndk-r8b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin:/Users/bphillips/bin/apache-maven-3.0.4/bin:/Users/bphillips/devtools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/tools:/Users/bphillips/devtools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools:/Users/bphillips/Downloads/MacVim-7_2-stable-1_2:~/bin

export PATH="$PATH":/usr/games:~/devtools/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools:~/devtools/android-sdk-macosx/tools:~/bin:/usr/lib:~/devtools/android-ndk-r8b:~/devtools/android-ndk-r8b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/darwin-x86/bin:~/bin/apache-maven-3.0.4/bin
export PATH="$PATH":/Users/bphillips/devtools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/tools:/Users/bphillips/devtools/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools
No clue why changing all these to 
wphillips
fixed the issue, but apparently it did
Yes, let me go look

Ok I see
Thank you!
So basically we detect your Android SDK installation based on 
ANDROID_HOME
, or default to 
$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
(on macOS), and we then create the directory hierarchy if it's missing. If your 
$HOME
variable was messed up with an obsolete name, we tried to create this dir and were refused access
Not sure what we could do here, besides throwing a nicer error if we're not allowed to create the dir
b
Yeah, that would explain it. I must not have used 
ANDROID_HOME
on my home machine in a long time - I think it’s only used by ADB now?
Studio has a self contained install now which skips it
I have that installed through JetBrains Toolbox
j
It could be either 
ANDROID_HOME
or just 
HOME
causing this issue AFAICT
