Is this a regression? If yes, which version of Gradle do you know it last worked for?
2.12

Hi Jim,

A couple initial questions that would help me address this:

  • Is this failure consistent or sporadic on Gradle 3.0?
  • Are you able to reproduce this failure on a different OS? (ok if you aren’t able to test that, just curious if this is Solaris-specific)
  • Does this same failure occur on Gradle 2.14.1?

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Eric,

It appears to be Solaris-specific. I haven’t seen it on Linux, Windows or Mac.

It is reproduceable simply by issuing the gradle --stop or gradle --status commands (at least that one NPE). Also, I noticed that if you are (accidentally) in a directory without a build.gradle or settings.gradle, you can also get it.

We jumped from 2.12 to 3.0, so I don’t know about 2.14. Also, I never personally tried this on the solaris box until this problem arose, and I’m sure I would have heard about if it had been a problem.

Thanks for the additional info, Jim.

I have raised https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-3539 for us to look into soon. It seems like the Gradle Daemon isn’t really usable on Solaris until we fix this.
