Unable to start the daemon process due to java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Help/Discuss
1

I have a Gradle-based Android project that is built on a Jenkins server.
Since yesterday, it stopped working by throwing the exceptions below.
I’m running command ./gradlew clean assembleStagingPrRelease -x lint --stacktrace
Tested on my localhost, it works fine.

The error message does not tell much and I’m now stuck. Your help is highly appreciated!

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: http://gradle.org/docs/2.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at http://gradle.org/docs/2.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html

I’m not sure what your problem is, but I know for certain that you shouldn’t be using the daemon for automated builds on shared servers. That’s intended only for use by a single developer on their workstation.

David, thanks for your reply.
I tried to disable daemon on Jenkins by specifying org.gradle.daemon=false in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties but still get the same error.
I also tried to run ./gradlew clean --no-daemon --stacktrace --debug NO LUCK.
if I ran ./gradlew --stop it told me no gradle daemons are running.

I’m confused :frowning:

And if you look at the process listing, you don’t see a process that looks like the daemon?

5

I don’t really know how to tell if a process “looks like the daemon” but seems not.

UPDATE: changing -XX:MaxPermSize to default size fixed my problem. It was 512m and now it’s 256.
Still, I don’t know what is the root cause :frowning:
