Android Studio and Gradle build error

Question

I\'ve been using the new preview of android studio and really like it. But recently my project won\'t build. I get the following error:

Gradle: 
FAILURE: Bui         


        

Answer 1

If you are using the Gradle Wrapper (the recommended option in Android Studio), you enable stacktrace by running gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace from the command line in the root folder of your project (where the gradlew file is).

If you are not using the gradle wrapper, you use gradle compileDebug --stacktrace instead (presumably).

You don't really need to run with --stacktrace though, running gradlew compileDebug by itself, from the command line, should tell you where the error is.

I based this information on this comment:
