How to solve gradle build failed error

Question

I am trying to install blockchain. I have installed gradle but when I run the following command:

gradle -b build.gradle clean

I get this exception:

org.gradle.internal.service.ServiceCreationException

and the stack trace is as follows:

Exception is: org.gradle.internal.service.ServiceCreationException: Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory(). at 
org.gradle.internal.service.DefaultServiceRegistry$FactoryMethodService.invokeMethod(DefaultServiceRegistry.java:797) at

org.gradle.internal.service.DefaultServiceRegistry$FactoryService.create(DefaultServiceRegistry.java:747) at
org.gradle.internal.service.DefaultServiceRegistry$ManagedObjectProvider.getInstance(DefaultServiceRegistry.java:574) 

How to solve this?

Answer 1

It looks like this directory doesn't have permission:

org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Failed to create parent directory '/home/cvllp3/mychain/fabric/.gradle' when creating directory '/home/cvllp3/mychain/fabric/.gradle/4.2/fileHashes'

You can add permission using the chmod command

You can find the solution here: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/an-error-happens-when-gradlew-assemble-command-is-run-on-linux/4962

Answer 2

Change the permission of the file:

chmod 777 <file name>

How do you do that?

If you had the same error, in the error log you will see the name of the directory that does not have permission. Use chmod and change the permission of that directory. It would be if you posted your error log.

Answer 3

I had a similar problem. The solution for me was to add the command in a sh file and then execute the sh file. Hope this works

Comments

Hey. What command did you add?

---

I added the following command in a bash file and then executed:

gradle -b build.gradle clean

---

I did that. I added that command in grad.sh file and execute it using the following command:

$ ./grad.sh

But I am getting permission denied error. Please help

---

After creating the file, you will have to give permissions to the file. Run the following command to give permissions:

$ chmod 777 grad.sh

And then execute the file

Answer 4

First disable gradle daemon and then run it

Answer 5

Error could be due to parallel running. Try this

GRADLE_USER_HOME=.gradle ./gradlew build

Answer 6

Try removing GRADLE_HOME and PATH and then run the command

Answer 7

Try cleaning like this:

gradlew clean dist

Answer 8

Make sure you have your jdk updated and the jars you are using are compatible.

Answer 9

I faced the same error. I dont know what happened but a system restart solved my problem

Comments

First solution for every tech problem: Restart :D Worked for me too.

Answer 10

I migrated the project to a different location and added jars again. The error was solved.

Comments

I think some settings might have been in the previous project which lead to the error.

---

Yes. I had made few changes, but couldn't set the configurations back to default. Had to migrate the project to get it working.
