Configure CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable on windows machine using WSL Ubuntu

Issue

I have a ionic angular application. When I run 'ionic capacitor build android' from WSL

I get the following errors:

[INFO] Ready for use in your Native IDE!

       To continue, build your project using Android Studio!

> capacitor open android
[capacitor] [error] Unable to launch Android Studio. Is it installed?
[capacitor]         Attempted to open Android Studio at: /usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
[capacitor]         You can configure this with the CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable.

I have android studio installed and additionally have set the system env variable for CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH with the path to its windows location.

I have also tried the suggested fixes on here CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable in Ionic 5 which also doesn't work

Wondering if anyone can help

Thanks

Solution

Had the exact same error. My Android Studio is at a different location as I use the snap.

So first figure out where studio is:

which android-studio

And then add the variable to your .bashrc (or e.g. .zshrc):

echo export CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH="/snap/bin/android-studio" >> ~/.bashrc

Restart your terminal and it should work.
