Gradle build null console object
问题 I'm trying to get my gradle builds to prompt at the console for a password using examples from stack overflow When I have a statment such as: def password = System.console().readLine("Enter keystore password ") When I run I get the error Cannot invoke method readLine() on null object It seems console is coming out as null . What I've read this requires java 6 which if I go to a command prompt and type java -version I'm running Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07). This issue
