From time to time, Gradle Wrapper fails with exception:

Exception in thread “main” java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/teamcity/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.14-bin/76oc0mnc3ieqtsukq90mp0rxk/gradle-2.14-bin.zip.lck (No such file or directory)

What this bin.zip.lck is for, and what can cause the issue?

Gradle Version: 2.14  
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04

Hi,

thank you for your Bug report.

After looking into this I suppose this happens when the user running Gradle does not have write access to the Gradle home directory (`/home/teamcity/.gradle` in your case).

Have you been able to fix the problem, yet?

Regards,  
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

This problem appears from time to time on TeamCity’s cloud agent. Next time I see the erorr, I will check the permissions and come back with more information.
