Gradle daemon process has a different context than expected

Old Forum Archive Bugs

Gradle daemon is not happy, if your JDK home is actually a symlink to some remote location and reported following error:

My gradle.properties have following entry:
org.gradle.java.home=/usr/local/packages/jdk7

$ ./gradlew clean
Starting a new Gradle Daemon for this build (subsequent builds will be faster).

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    The newly created daemon process has a different context than expected.
    It won’t be possible to reconnect to this daemon. Context mismatch:
    Java home is different.

This is how my JDK is setup:

$ ls -ld /usr/local/packages/jdk7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61 Jul 25 2013 /usr/local/packages/jdk7 -> /ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/JDK7_MAIN_LINUX.X64.rdd/LATEST/jdk7

$ readlink /usr/local/packages/jdk7
/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/JDK7_MAIN_LINUX.X64.rdd/LATEST/jdk7

$ ls -ld /ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/JDK7_MAIN_LINUX.X64.rdd/LATEST
lrwxrwxrwx 1 stvobadm svrtech 21 Jul 14 13:15 /ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/JDK7_MAIN_LINUX.X64.rdd/LATEST -> 150608.1.7.0.85.0B015

You say the link is pointing to a “remote” location. I take it this is an NFS mounted filesystem?

3

Yes, ’ /usr/local/packages/jdk7’ points to a NFS mounted location.

But ‘/usr/local/packages/jdk7’ & ‘/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7’ are actually the same JDK location.

If you try to get the absolute path of ‘/usr/local/packages/jdk7’ then it will resolve to ‘/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7’ itself.

Can you try adding the following to your build script and verify the result?

assert new File("/usr/local/packages/jdk7”).canonicalFile == new File("/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/1 50608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7”).canonicalFile
5

Added below given statements in my build.gradle

println new File(“/usr/local/packages/jdk7”).canonicalFile
println new File(“/usr/local/packages/jdk7/bin/java”).canonicalFile

println new File(“/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7”).canonicalFile
println new File(“/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7/bin/java”).canonicalFile

assert new File(“/usr/local/packages/jdk7/bin/java”).canonicalFile == new File(“/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7/bin/java”).canonicalFile

assert new File(“/usr/local/packages/jdk7”).canonicalFile == new File(“/ade_autofs/gd29_3rdparty/nfsdo_generic/JDK7/MAIN/LINUX.X64/150608.1.7.0.85.0B015/jdk7”).canonicalFile

My first ‘assert’ statement is working fine, but the second one is failing.

Output:

  • Where:

  • What went wrong:
    A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘emdi’.
