"jvm-abi-gen.jar" Error while building the project with Bazel

[sandy99405]

I'm facing an error while running Bazel.
I was trying to run the following commands from D:/git/oppia-android folder

set REPIN=1 bazel run @unpinned_maven//:pin

bazel run //scripts:generate_maven_dependencies_list -- $(pwd) third_party/maven_install.json scripts/assets/maven_dependencies.textproto scripts/assets/maven_dependencies.pb

but it's building the bazel output in :

  C:\Users\ASUS\_bazel_ASUS\uzib7o6s\execroot 

it says that the following .jar is missing

external/com_github_jetbrains_kotlin/lib/jvm-abi-gen.jar

in the execroot folder, the build is creating a file with the name DO_NOT_BUILD_HERE. which has the content as : D/git/oppia-android.
(Which is where I ran the commands from)

** @Rd4dev or @theMr17 or anyone Please help me with this error if you have encountered it before**.🙏

Hi @sandy99405, I've been using the Gradle build for my development. However, I recently installed Bazel during a discussion. I believe I can give the Bazel build a shot and contribute positively. I'll keep you posted on my progress soon.

Yes @MohitGupta121 I've been using Jio fiber net.......and I've also tried VPN of U.S but it didn't work

[sandy99405]

@MohitGupta121 can you please confirm which country VPN works ?

[MohitGupta121]

Use any random vpn on your computer, for me in mac, I used Turbo vpn.

@sandy99405, could you please add your solution as a comment on this thread?

@adhiamboperes The problem was that I did it directly in Windows Command Prompt which Oppia did not recommend. I solved it by using WSL.
