My build works fine on Linux, but on Windows the “clean” task fails with the error:
Could not normalize path for file ‘C:\javaProjects[project directory]***’
This also occurs when I run “clean” without any other task. Other tasks alone or combined with seem to work ok (to the extent that they don’t need “clean” of course).
I don’t know enough about the “clean” task to understand what is happening. Does anybody have any suggestions or pointers? Thanks!
This is gradle 3.3 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1. Here is the stack trace:
