Introduction

This repository contains the details on how to regenerate the android-studio bug #180424.

Steps to replicate the bug

1. create the directory structures debug/java and main/java under app/src directory

   now the directories should look like this

   <root>
   |...
   |--app
      |...
      |-- src
          |...
          |--debug
             |--java
          |--main
             |--java
          |--release
             |--java
      |...
   
   

2. create the class bugs.as.linkedresourcesbug.StringProvider in the release folder. make a link of the same in the debug folder.

   Now if you check, StringProvider.java should be listed under the folder debug/bugs/as/linkedresourcesbug Open both the files in the editor, and edit one (say one in debug variant), the other will not be updated until the file is synchronized.
