When I ‘Run’ my project in Android Studio, in the ‘Messages’ window, I get:

Gradle: 
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':play01:compileDebug'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

It says > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
So where is the «compiler error output»? And/Or how do I run with --stacktrace option?

For Android Studio 3.1, select the icon below the Build one in the Build window.

Android Studio 3.1 raw log toggle button

By Android Studio 3.3 (possibly in 3.2.1), the icon has changed, though the location is the same:

Android Studio 3.3 raw log toggle button

The build window should open when you run a build action (e.g. from the Build menu). If you don’t see it, you can try the «Build» button along the bottom of the window (also visible in the above screenshots), or through the menus View → Tool Windows → Build.

It’s really straightforward to set up! Just go to the Compiler settings at Android Studio 2.2.3 and set the --stacktrace command:

Compiler settings to add --stacktrace command

Then run the app again

Are you on Windows? Launch cmd, find your project folder and run «gradlew build». This should already give you more output than the IDE, you can also use —info, —stacktrace and —debug there.

In my case I prefer to open the Terminal window on the bottom left, and run gradlew build --info :

You can also see the error in the Build window by clicking on the toggle button.

For Android Studio v4.0

As others have mentioned, the «Messages» window that was evidently present in AS 3.* no longer exists in 4.0 (or else it’s hidden very, very well). After wasting far too much time on this, I’ve found another way to view those compile errors:

  1. Open your Gradle tool window. By default, it’s on the right edge toward the top:

enter image description here

If you don’t see it there, use View > Tool Windows > Gradle.

  1. In the Gradle window, open your app’s root option and run Tasks > build > build:

enter image description here

  1. The Run tool window should open automatically, where you’ll see details about the cause of the build error:

enter image description here

If it doesn’t open automatically, you can access it through View > Tool Windows > Run.

Hopefully that gives you all the info you need. If not though, try:

  1. Go to File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler. In the Command-line Options, add --scan.

enter image description here

Apply and OK, then try the Gradle build over again.

In android studio 2.2.3 you can find output in the gradle console as shown below

I am building on what Jorge recommended.
Goto File->Settings->compiler.

Here you will see a field to add compiler options where you plug in —stacktrace

Run

gradlew --stacktrace 

in a terminal to see the full report

for me it was

Task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED
javacTask: source release 1.8 requires target release 1.8

so i added

 compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

in app.gradle file / android
and the build completed successfully

Just click on the «Build» node in the Build Output

enter image description here

From some reason the «Compilation failed» node just started being automatically selected and for that the description window is very unhelpful.

If you are in android studio 3.1, Verify if file->Project Structure -> Source compatibility is empty. it should not have 1.8 set.

then press ok, the project will sync and error will disappear.

In my case i had a findViewById reference to a view i had deleted in xml

if you are running AS 3.1 and above:

  1. go to Settings > Build, Execution and Deployment > compiler
  2. add —stacktrace to the command line options, click apply and ok
  3. At the bottom of AS click on Console/Build(If you use the stable version 3.1.2 and above) expand the panel and run your app again.

you should see the full stacktrace in the expanded view and the specific error.

Follow these steps!

  1. Go to File

  2. Then click on Settings

  3. Then under «Build, Execution, Deployment» go to Compiler

  4. Add this in «Command-line Options» and press OK
    enter image description here

  5. Now normally run your test/app again and when you will encounter error this time, you will see highlighted messages like this :
    enter image description here

  1. Clicking on «Run with —scan» or «Run with —stacktrace» will give error in more detail.

I solved this error «Compilation failed to see the compiler error output for details»

The solution is very Simple: Add in a Gradle below a line of code

implementation ‘com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0’

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Figure 1: The Error

Well, let’s fix this error and get you up and working in no time, just follow the below methods chronologically and it will be a breeze!

Method: #1 Try updating your buildToolsVersion to “23.0.1” as follows

GeekTip: Please download the buildTools for this version with SDKManager as a hint if you haven’t already.

and then just change these in your build.gradle file

compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

then sync the Gradle file and rebuild!

Method: #2 A wrong Java Home Location or Config

Sometimes, it might be the slightest error in your $JAVA_HOME configuration which is tabbing this error, just fix it like this:

export JAVA_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home"

GeekTip: Make Change this in the .bash profile

Method: #3 Fixing those extra .jar dependencies

Double-check the build of your app. gradle. It adds an extra.jar file as a dependency that didn’t exist in your project. As a result, remove that and you’re back on track!

Method: #4 For the newer versions of Android Studio

If you happen to be running the latest version of Android Studio or the Canary Flavor of the IDE then maybe the issue is there with the certain sdkVersions of your project. Change it this way:

Navigate to File > Project Structure

then

change the compileSdkVersion to any value (like 24) which works with your project like

compileSdkVersion 24

Method: #5 If you’re rocking the RETROLAMBDA Build Script

If you’re using the retrolambda build script then you may change its configuration in the build.gradle and your error might be resolved

retrolambda {
    jdk System.getenv("JAVA_HOME")
    oldJdk System.getenv("JAVA7_HOME")
    javaVersion JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

GeekTip: You can also establish a new environment variable named JAVA8 HOME that points to the correct JDK location.

That’s it if you followed the methods given in this article you would’ve resolved this issue and would be back on the track with that project building perfectly as intended!

When I ‘Run’ my project in
Android Studio, in the ‘Messages’ window, I get:

Gradle:

FAILURE: Build failed with an
exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ‘:play01:compileDebug’.

> Compilation failed; see the
compiler error output for details.

* Try:

Run with —stacktrace option to get
the stack trace. Run with —info or —debug option to get more log output.

It says >
Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
 So where is the «compiler error
output»? And/Or how do I run with 
--stacktrace option?

Answer :- 1

One thing you can do is
deactivate the external build. To do so click on «compiler settings
icon» in the «Messages Make» panel that appears when you have an
error. You can also open the compiler settings by going to File -> Settings
-> Compiler.

Uncheck «Use External
build»

And you will see the
errors in the console

Answer :2

For Android Studio 3.1,
select the icon below the Build one in the Build window.

By Android Studio 3.3 (possibly in 3.2.1), the icon has
changed, though the location is the same:

The build window should open when you run a build action
(e.g. from the Build menu). If you don’t see it, you can try the
«Build» button along the bottom of the window (also visible in the
above screenshots), or through the menus View → Tool Windows → Build.

Answer :3

In my case i
had a findViewById reference to a view i had deleted in xml

if you are
running AS 3.1 and above:

  1. go to Settings > Build,
    Execution and Deployment > compiler
  2. add —stacktrace to the command
    line options, click apply and ok
  3. At the bottom of AS click on
    Console/Build(If you use the stable version 3.1.2 and above) expand the
    panel and run your app again.

you should see
the full stacktrace in the expanded view and the specific error.
