the cause probably on

[amccaleb]

I can repro the NPE using CircleCI and using Android Gradle Plugin 3.4.0, so this doesn't seem entirely tied to the Gradle plugin version.

[amccaleb]

Tried to work around the issue by using the customColorRibbons and specifying the textRatio myself. This just moved the NPE to a different area:

This is basically the same issue I am seeing on the "original" ribbonizer project:
maskarade/gradle-android-ribbonizer-plugin#31

Some change in the Circle CI base image triggered this.

I'll remove ribbons alltogether for now...

[Alqasrawi]

Any updates on this issue ? I have the same problem with the latest Android gradle plugin and CircleCi

[bartsidee]

encountering the same issue, it seems related to openjdk installation on alpine docker images:
docker-library/openjdk#73

I was able to solve it by installing fontconfig to the docker image used:
RUN apk --update add fontconfig ttf-dejavu

[bopbi]

thanks for sharing @bartsidee will try it

[anujmiddha]

@bartsidee Thanks for sharing. Can you also share where in the circleci config file this goes?

[lksnmnn]

I believe he is using a custom docker image based on alpine. So the line he posted is added to his Dockerfile. You can then refer to your custom image in the CircleCI config.

[anujmiddha]

Ah got it. Thanks @lksnmnn

[adrinieto]

I'm having the same problem. Any updates on this?

[tlb-miyagiyuki]

I solved this problem in the CircleCI config. thanks to #37 (comment).
I added the following command to job.

  steps:
    - run:
        name: add fontconfig for easylauncher
        command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y fontconfig ttf-dejavu

I'm using circleci/android:api-29 docker image.
