Almost 2 months later and this is still broken

Since there is no progression, I wanted to share our quick-fix for the issue.

#sdkmanager --package_file=${PATH_WORKSPACE}/packages
while read p; do echo "y" | sdkmanager "${p}"; done <${PATH_WORKSPACE}/packages

This has been fixed on master today (internal ref: ag/2945015) and will be available in the next SDK release.

Any ETA on next release?

Still broken and not updated? --package_file argument is not usable in it's current form on 26.1.1 straight from the developer site.

rt...@google.com <rt...@google.com> #10Oct 3, 2018 11:21PM

Comfirmed that this seems to still be broken. Can we have an update please?

```

26.1.1

(15:58:17) C02W513SHTD8:files aso$ /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/bin/sdkmanager --install --package_file=package_file
Warning: Unknown argument --package_file=package_file

Hi, is there any update to this issue? Thanks.

Hi Google. You claim it's been fixed on master, but we haven't had a new release since the broken version 26.1.1. Can you please release the fix?

Yeah, still not fixed --'

jr...@squareup.com <jr...@squareup.com> #14Jan 20, 2019 02:30AM

Can't believe this still isn't fixed 2 years later for a command line utility that sits on the main dev site.

ku...@google.com <ku...@google.com> #15Mar 5, 2019 10:18AM

Marked as fixed.

Any updates on this? The help for this command clearly states this argument is supported.

Status: Assigned (reopened)

Has anyone re-tried it? We switched back to RUN sdkmanager --package_file=$ANDROID_HOME/packages.txt in our Dockerfile back in March of 2021.

im...@google.com <im...@google.com> #17Mar 5, 2019 11:07AM

For what it's worth, I did a quick test with the latest CLI: 11076708 (https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads) on OSX and tried it with a simple:

./sdkmanager --sdk_root="../sdk" --package_file=deps.txt

Deps.txt:

platform-tools
extras;google;instantapps
build-tools;35.0.0-rc3

So perhaps this is now resolved? I haven't tried it with more packages

This is going to cause a lot of headache with namespaced resources for anyone using Butter Knife, as it will cause the build to fail

jo...@happy.co <jo...@happy.co> #19Feb 1, 2021 11:00PM

It sure is. We're having to rewrite the package & namespace now we've upgraded to Bazel 4.
