Hi,

This is not enough information for us to make any use of.

What is your build trying to do at the time that this occurs?

vipin · January 2, 2013, 4:56pm

you can repro this easily by building this source http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/wiki/BuildApktool

aspack · January 16, 2013, 2:35pm

The same problem, just:

git clone git://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool.git cd Apktool gradlew.bat build

and you’ll see the internal exception. The full error text is here:

luke_daley · January 16, 2013, 3:31pm

There’s not much we can do about this. We could improve the error message though.

In the meantime, you can work around this by shortening the file paths by moving the Gradle user home directory. The simplest way to do this is to set the environment variable ‘GRADLE_USER_HOME’.

e.g.

set GRADLE_USER_HOME=c:\mygradlehome

aspack · January 16, 2013, 3:46pm

Sorry, it doesn’t work. The result path is still very long.

luke_daley · January 16, 2013, 3:49pm

Please run with ‘-s’ and post the exception trace.

I just noticed the path it is trying to normalise is actually a semicolon separated list of paths:

C:\gradle\caches\artifacts-15\filestore\org.antlr\antlr\3.2\jar\6b0acabea7bb3da058200a7778057e47e25cb69\antlr-3.2.jar;C:\gradle\caches\artifacts-15\filestore\antlr\antr\2.7.7\jar\83cd2cd674a217ade95a4bb83a8a14f351f48bd0\antlr-2.7.7.jar;C:\gradle\aches\artifacts-15\filestore\org.antlr\stringtemplate\3.2\jar\6fe2e3bb57daebd155494818909f9664376dd6c\stringtemplate-3.2.jar;C:\gradle\caches\artifacts-15\filestore\org.antlr\antlrruntime\3.2\jar\31c746001016c6226bd7356c9f87a6a084ce3715\antlr-runtime-3.2.jar

This suggests that the plugin you are using is not designed to work on Windows I think.

aspack · January 16, 2013, 8:17pm

It seems the error occurs inside the gradle code that checks cached libraries (jars), so it’s internal gradle structure to store filenames. Am I right?

daz · January 17, 2013, 12:26am

Not necessarily. The fact that the files are sourced from the Gradle cache is not important. The issues appears to be that a compound file path is being passed to a method that assumes a single file.

‘org.gradle.api.internal.file.AbstractFileResolver.resolve(Object)’

So it’s a matter of working out why this method is being called with these parameters. It’s a bit suspicious since it appears to be failing during the uptodate check. Can you try running with ‘–rerun-tasks’?

aspack · January 17, 2013, 10:08am

The same exception. So, the same script works under Windows 8, Ubuntu 12.10 but doesn’t work under Windows XP and Windows 7. Interesting thing that it works on the friend’s XP.

One more time how to reproduce the problem under Windows XP:

git clone git://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool.git cd Apktool gradlew build

aspack · January 17, 2013, 12:12pm

Ok, something happens (I’ve reinstalled jdk) and the building process works on my Windows XP. Going to test on Windows 7 at home.

aspack · January 17, 2013, 9:01pm

Update.

Tested on Windows 7 x64:

Installed jdk1.7.0_04 - exception as described above, ever with Gradle 1.4-rc-1.
Installed jdk1.7.0_11 - all works just fine.
