Repro steps:

(1) Compile chrome_public_apk_incremental on tip of the tree:
nice ninja -C out/gn-dbg/ -j2500 -l20 chrome_public_apk_incremental

(2) Add a new layout in chrome/android/java/res/layout/new_layout.xml

(3) Try to use it in a .java file:
...
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
...
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_layout, container, false);
...

(4) Compile again as in step (1)



Expected: All works.

Actual: The compiler claims that R.layout has no member called new_layout. Somehow, the android_resources rule does not seem to reflect on the changed content of chrome/android/java/res/layout.

Workaround: Delete out/gn-dbg/toolchain.ninja and recompile.


Note: I have non tried the non-incremental build.

Note: My gn configuration:
is_debug = true
use_goma = true
enable_nacl = false
is_component_build = true
disable_incremental_isolated_processes = true
target_os = "android"

Note: I was compiling this on a Linux machine.
