Daemon stuck: "Waiting to acquire shared lock on daemon addresses registry"

I just updated my Android project to use Gradle 2.14.1 (from 2.14), and also the Android Gradle build tools to 2.1.3 (from 2.1.2). I then tried to build with the following command:

./gradlew clean assembleDebugAndroidTest

It gets stuck on this line:

> Building 91% > :app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug

When I run with the --info and --debug flags, I see the following output:

If I sit and wait, I see it re-acquire and re-release the lock over and over again. Nothing I’ve done can resolve the problem. I even tried deleting my $HOME/.gradle/ directory for a fresh start – nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening?

The message you are seeing is related to the daemon’s health check running in the background. You’ll notice that it runs on a consistent interval and finishes rather quickly. This is normal and not actually related to your problem. This issue appears to be something to do with the dexing task itself. You can see from the output that the garbage collector isn’t doing much (i.e. “GC rate: 0.0/s”) so it doesn’t appear like a memory-related issue. Probably the best way to diagnose it would be to get stacktrace (using jstack or something similar) and see what the dexing task is doing while its in this state.

Thanks for the reply. I ran the jps command:

jps
8163 GradleWrapperMain
468 
8230 Jps
7996 GradleDaemon

I assume it’s the PID of GradleWrapperMain I want, so next I ran jstack:

jstack 8163

Honestly, I’m not really sure how to parse this. Any ideas?

The gradle command I ran to achieve this state was: ./gradlew installDebugAndStart, which is a custom task that is defined thus:

task installDebugAndStart(type: Exec) {
    dependsOn 'installDebug'
    commandLine "${project.android.adbExe} shell am start com.project/com.project.Activity".split(' ')
}

Basically, it installs the APK and then launches it.

Actually, you want a stacktrace from the “GradleDaemon” process.

I am also facing simillar issue , where gradle s not releasing lock on shared file

Have followed so many posts like below , but no luck

https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2795

Ah, thank you and my apologies. I appreciate your help – I have no idea what I should be looking for.

The stack trace is actually too long to paste here, so I’ve thrown it up on hastebin.

So the very first thread (line 18) is likely the culprit. Its down in com.android.dx.rop.code.LocalVariableExtractor in the dexing code. Taking a quick glance at that class I see there’s a for loop in there - possibly it’s not exiting properly? In any event, the issue is outside of Gradle (and my expertise) - I’d raise this with the Android tools team (and share this stack trace with them).

Will do. Thank you very much.

For completeness’ sake, here is the link to the bug report I’ve filed with the Android tools team: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=220611&thanks=220611&ts=1471888230

Hey Gary_Hale

Glad to know that you guys were able to troubleshot trobalik’s issue :slight_smile:

However , I am still facing this hang issue , I have captured stacktrace of GradleWrapperMain process . It would be nice if you can look this jstack & suggest me any solution for this

Update
bebugging above JStack , I came to know that it was [org.eclipse.jgit] causing problem …

I was using old dependency of [org.ajoberstar], which in turn was using old version of above [org.eclipse.jgit] dependency .
Upgrading version of [org.ajoberstar] solved my problem
