Installation Trouble

SlowerThanSampedingT · January 6, 2021, 11:30pm

Hello,
I am having issues getting started with Gradle.

I have gradle-6.7.1 installed to C:\Gradle\

echo %GRADLE_HOME%
C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1
echo %PATH%
…;C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin;…
gradle -v

(No really, it runs for a bit but doesn’t output anything)

set DEBUG=TRUE
gradle -v
…
“C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jre-15.0.1.9-openj9/bin/java.exe” “-Xmx64m” “-Xms64m” “-Dorg.gradle.appname=gradle” -classpath “C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\lib\gradle-launcher-6.7.1.jar” org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain -v

(Again, nothing)

if “-529697949” == “0” goto mainEnd …
java -Xmx64m -Xms64m -Dorg.gradle.appname=gradle -classpath C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\lib\gradle-launcher-6.7.1.jar org.gradle.launcher.GradleMain -v

(Again, nothing but takes a hot minute)

Just hoping that it works…
Creating a gradle eclipse project
Use Local Installation Directory > “C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin”

TL;DR; Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The specified Gradle installation directory ‘C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin’ does not appear to contain a Gradle distribution.

Opening in Powershell
PS C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin> ls
-a---- 1/7/2021 8:55 AM 5758 gradle
-a---- 1/7/2021 8:55 AM 2755 gradle.bat
PS C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin> ./gradle.bat -v
(Nothing, still)
PS C:\Gradle\gradle-6.7.1\bin> ./gradle -v
(No output again)

Could use some help =D

“GradleMain” doesn’t actually exist in the jar file and I tried changing it to Main but java yelled at me. I don’t know all the CLI commands and how they work with java but I figured I’d try before asking for help.

Windows 10 (if Powershell wasn’t a give away)

I’ve tried a few different things at this point;

Tried with both Hotspot and OpenJ9
Clean install with reboots of Gradle.

Here’s an image to show what exactly I mean.

Off topic:
I’m new here, how I can edit a post so that I can not look so pretentious with my “(No really, it runs for a bit but doesn’t output anything)” the formatting didn’t quite work to show that nothing was displayed. I didn’t see the preview window behind the welcome message when first posting. “`” instead of “>” would have been better

I have a simular issue.
After some searching, I found that the most recent version I could run without issue was 6.6.1.
This is what’s displayed when I run gradle --version using gradle 6.6.1

More recent versions seem to run a bit, and than give no output at all. No error code, nothing.

Not sure if this should be discussed here, or in a github issue…

Precisely the same problem here. The script is has a really bad design, as it does not give the user any information, by default, in case of an error. In this specific case this fact makes the whole situation particularly annoying.

Issue appears with Gradle 6.8.3 & 7.0-rc-1 for me. Using version 6.6.1 is indeed a workaround. Thank you.

Apparently, this might be related to using Gradle with JDK 15:
