I try to build Unity project to Android platform via Jenkins.
When I build the project in Unity Editor, it works well - succesfully get my APK.
But if I build the same project in same condition on CLI, it always occurs error like below.

****CommandInvokationFailure: Gradle build failed.

Does anyone experience this kind of error before?
Iā€™ll apperciate if someone reply me with a solution how to resolve the error.
Version of Unity Iā€™m using is ā€œUnity 2019.2.6fā€ and Gradle version is 5.6.3.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem, do you have a solution?

I am also facing the same problem. my Unity version is 2018.4.9f1.
There was no problem in the 2018.3.5f1 version.
There seems to be a compatibility issue with Gradle 5.1.1 version

Iā€™m still suffered from the issue.
@ho-dragon Gradle version Iā€™m using to build is 5.6.1. I replaced Unityā€™s default Gradle(5.1.1) to 5.6.1 version, but still get the same error.

Iā€™ve tried many solutions from other forums, but always get the same error message.
Today, I just begin to have a doubt that the issue caused by Jenkins build environment. Because the message ā€œDaemon startup failedā€ seems like Jenkins has a problem with launching Gradle daemon.

By the way, anyone who resolve the issue, please reply the thread. Itā€™ll save my day. Thanks.

I am using Jenkins. I also suspect the Jenkins Unity plugin. I am trying various things to solve the problem. Iā€™ll let you know if you find it.

I have found a solution.
But I donā€™t know if this solution is perfect.
Open the ā€˜mainTemplate.gradleā€™ file in a text editor and change build.gradle3.4.0 version to 3.2.0.

ā€˜mainTemplate.gradleā€™ Path is
ā€œC:\Program Files\Unity2018.4.9f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Tools\GradleTemplates\mainTemplate.gradleā€

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'}

Change it like below

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'}

I will be happy if it helps you.

I set the classpath value as you wrote above, but still it emit the same error. Anyway thanks to your advice @ho-dragon

Besides your solution, I found another solution to fix the issue.

  1. In my Unity auto build script, I set like
    buildPlayerOptions.options = BuildOptions.AcceptExternalModificationsToPlayer;.
    The option I set means that Iā€™ll export the Unity project as gradle build project.
  2. After fixing my autobuild script, I set Gradle build workflow on my Jenkins just after Unity build plugin with options like below image.

    image.png1405Ɨ720 26.9 KB

Now Jenkins works like below steps.

  1. Export Gradle build project from Unity
  2. Build Gradle project and create release APK.

It works at last!!!

Still I definitely donā€™t have any idea why internal Unity Gradle build fails in Jenkins, but Iā€™m relieved to find the way to bypass the issue.

Thanks.

Hi @zootyducky,

Iā€™m facing a similar issue. Would you mind sending me, or attaching here some documentation regarding the first and second step, anything that can give me more info in regards on how to setup the build options in regards to the unity context and the above issue.
Iā€™m a bit nervous in regards of building with gradle, judging by the screenshot youā€™ve attached, I see that you only attached one task in the gradle pipeline script, is this enough is that command the usual one, or is some custom command?

Thanks
