@jw Trying to use ViewBinding in my project but while the IDE says everything is OK and show the supposedly generated files, compilation that does not work and the import tells me Unresolved reference: databinding. I can't find any error or logs and only related file is a xxx-binding_classes.json containing

{
  "mappings": {}
}

[Tolriq]

To be able to properly report the issue what logs or options should I activate as I'll probably won't be able to generate a small repro case asked by first level triage.

Are you using the correct Android Studio version? Also, is the viewBinding flag enabled in your gradle?

[Tolriq]

Yes and Yes IDE shows everything OK. (3.6RC1)

Rerun the task, it's often stuck

[Paul Woitaschek]

./gradlew app:assembleDebug --rerun-tasks

[Tolriq]

Works thanks. Is there already a bug report about that that I should follow?

[Paul Woitaschek]

I don't think so

Open an issue, I'll star it 🙂

[Giorgos Neokleous]

Good to know 😅 I have been using them for pet projects but never had any issues

[Tolriq]

Will be for tomorrow now 🙂

Seems there's already https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140955511

the IDE and CLI builds are unrelated

[jw]

you should not need to see files on disk for the IDE to work

anyway i'm on vacation until monday so no bugs are being looked at until then
