1.7-rc1: gradle wrapper is broken

Old Forum Archive

Hello,

I am trying out 1.7-rc1 (I am especially interested in TestNG’s parameterized test support) and also use the wrapper.

I modified my build file to read:

wrapper {

gradleVersion “1.7-rc1”;

}

Unfortunately it fails to download at all:

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://downloads.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-1.7-rc1-bin.zip

at org.gradle.wrapper.ExclusiveFileAccessManager.access(ExclusiveFileAccessManager.java:78)

Attempting to browse downloads.gradle.org indeed shows that the file does not exist; what is more strange is that in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, this line is wrong:

distributionUrl=http://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-1.7-rc1-bin.zip

There should be no ‘-snapshots’ here. But if I fix the file, it doesn’t help, it still tries to use downloads.gradle.org :confused: Full output after fixing the file:

Update: it works if you ‘rm -rf gradle/ gradlew’ before running ‘gradle wrapper’…

There should be a hyphen between the “rc” and the number. 1.7-rc-1

Yup, I found out after some while… Not used to such a versioning scheme! And I’ve had it under the eyes too. No excuse.

Anyway – the “real” solution is to just remove wrapper from build.gradle since it does things automagically…
