Unable to add App Engine Module - Task 'appengineDownloadSdk' not found in root project

[PrashamTrivedi]

In latest android studio buid (141.2168647) On Windows 7. I can not add new appengine module.

I am trying to add GCM endpoint module (also tried with endpoint module). The wizard on android studio completes successfully and directory created, but on building the project I am getting this error

Unable to add App Engine Module - Task 'appengineDownloadSdk' not found in root project .

And build stops, the directory is empty. Do I need to do anything else??

That should work as is.

Can you try to do a "Sync Project with Gradle Files" and see if the project appears fully formed?

[PrashamTrivedi]

There are two gradle tasks running at the time. This is the issue I receive once I finish the wizard. I have also tried "Sync Project With Gradle Files", which also did not work.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Task 'appengineDownloadSdk' not found in root project 'AppEngineTest'.
• Try:
  Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. >Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

From IDE logs it seems there are some template files which are missing, there are two stacktraces Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException for AndroidManifest.xml.ftl and build.gradle.ftl.

Is there any template files or directory which is either missing or may be overriden?

I have some templates made in Studio 1.3. And For 1.4 I have accidently did a fresh installation, and then copied some directories (templates and pluggins) from 1.3 to 1.4 manually. I suspect this can be a case, but I also doubt some templates are missing,

[loosebazooka]

Yeah, I don't know if that's the best idea.

Our plugin's template lives in

android-studio/plugins/google-cloud-tools/lib/templates
android-studio/plugins/google-cloud-tools/lib/clientTemplates

the files you're looking for should have been in clientTemplates

The files are indeed in the location you mentioned.

Looks like this issue related to Issue 183068. Because when I dig up the log further I can see these lines

I have to check with updated tools. May be this issue can be resolved after that.
