Caused by: com.android.build.gradle.tasks.ResourceException: [string/app_name] C:\Android Work\projectName\build\generated\res\resValues\tst\values\generated.xml [string/app_name] C:\Android Work\projectName\build\generated\res\resValues\tst\values\gradleResValues.xml: Error: Duplicate resources

Same file is in generated.xml and gradleResValues.xml 

<!-- Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY -->

<!-- Values from build type: tst -->
<string name="app_name" translatable="false">Test</string>

It's saying there's a same string in these both files, how to avoid this exception?

By the way it's only happening to my test build, debug build is working fine!!

    Does this answer your question? Gradle resValue causes duplicate string resources Commented Mar 31, 2020 at 18:01
  • no, i don't have any app_name in strings.xml and debug.setRoot('build-types/debug') is not defined in my build file. Yes, I have tried Invalidate and restart. no result. Commented Mar 31, 2020 at 19:47
