1432649 - mach bootstrap (artifact mode) ignores mozconfig android sdk path override

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1221253

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

i.e. I have:

ac_add_options --with-android-sdk="..."

In my mozconfig, but `mach bootstrap` will only install android SDK dependencies to .mozbuild/. Since bootstrap is the only way to automatically install dependencies, I have to install them by hand if I want to use a custom path (e.g. the Android Studio default at ~/Library/Android/sdk), which is tedious.

|mach bootstrap| doesn't know anything about your mozconfig, and even can run without any parts of a build or checkout on your device.

I'd like bootstrap to "just work" with Android Studio SDK versions -- better experience overall -- but it's not trivial: see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221253.

You can install the android-packages.txt from the tree using whatever SDK's version of sdkmanager you want; that should generally "just work".

I'm fine covering the defaults with bug 1221253 - thanks Nick.
