Gradle init fails

[l-g]

I am following the instructions here ​https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/java

After installing Gradle MacPorts suggest that I set the GRADLE_HOME variable to

/opt/local/share/java/gradle

, which I did. I also added

/opt/local/share/java/gradle/bin/

to my PATH.

I then run

gradle init --type basic

as per the instructions on the linked page. The result is a failure:

$ gradle init --type basic
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().
> Could not create service of type FileHasher using BuildSessionScopeServices.createFileSnapshotter().

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

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 2s

I then tried running it as root since some googling indicated that gradle needs permission to write in the GRADLE_HOME directory but that also failed even though the error message was a bit different

$ sudo gradle init --type basic
Password:

Is the problem gradle or MacPorts? If the problem is with gradle, I still think the instructions showed at the end of the installation are wrong, they should mention that root is required.

Do you need some more information? Such as stacktraces or other debug information from the init process.

[amake (Aaron Madlon-Kay)]

I am unable to reproduce.

The message about GRADLE_HOME in the portfile predates my involvement, and ​appears to be obsolete or incorrect—you don't need it (I don't have it set and gradle works fine for me).

Second, you don't need to add /opt/local/share/java/gradle/bin/ to your path, as the gradle binary there is symlinked to /opt/local/bin, which should already be on your path.

As for the error message you are getting, I once got a similar message when trying to run gradle a) in a directory that had a space in the path and b) on an external volume that was formatted with a case-sensitive filesystem. Does that at all describe your situation?

I ended up reformatting my disk to be case-insensitive, and I also removed the space from the path, so I can't remember which fixed it.

Another thing to note: You definitely should *not* be running gradle with sudo.

[l-g]

I have removed both GRADLE_HOME and PATH but still get the same error.

None of your caveats apply, I run it from /Users/lg/ so no spaces and it is a laptop with just one drive APFS and according to Disk Utility "Is case-sensitive : No".

Here is the stacktrace

$ gradle init -s --type basic

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

The currentDir at the end of this line looks suspect:

What is your pwd when you run the gradle command? Are you trying to run gradle from /opt/local/bin? Because you should be running it from the root of your project.

[amake (Aaron Madlon-Kay)]

Sorry, I had missed that you said you run it from your home. I can also reproduce it from there.

Don't do that. Run it from the root of your project. gradle init is like git init; you usually make a dir for your project, cd into it, and then run it from there.

Aah, thank you.

Just for future reference: creating a new directory and moving the client_secret.json into that directory, cd into this new directory and then running gradle init fixed this issue.
