Android Studio setting node directory for build (Cause: error=2, No such file or directory)

My project build fails because it's using the incorrect directory to run Node. How do I go about setting the Node directory for these compile-time tasks?

The specific task is:

app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandDebug

And the related error:

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:recordFilesBeforeBundleCommandDebug'.
Caused by: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: A problem occurred starting process 'command 'node''
Caused by: net.rubygrapefruit.platform.NativeException: Could not start 'node'
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "node" (in directory "/Users/me/Code/appname/android/app"): error=2, No such file or directory
Caused by: java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

It is a known bug for the environment:

  • Apple chip M1
  • Android Studio arctic fox 2020.3.1 Patch 3

Upgrade to Gradle version 6.9 or above in the gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.9.1-all.zip

Add this to the build.gradle if you use React-Native

ext {    
    react = [
        nodeExecutableAndArgs:  ["/usr/local/bin/node"]
    ]
}

I had the same problem and solved by installing node.js again because the react was not able to find it.
