Gradle Could not create service of type InitScriptHandler using BuildScopeServices.createInitScriptHandler()

Question

I used gradle build command in Centos 7 terminal and I got output:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What we         


        

Answer 1

If you using wrapper gradlew, in root make directory .gradle_new

mkdir .gradle_new
chmod -R 777 .gradle_new

and run gradlew with arguments:

--project-cache-dir .gradle_new

Answer 2

Restarting the machine solved the issue.

Answer 3

This can happen if you run Gradle commands from separate terminals at the same time - I assume Gradle somehow locks ~/.gradle when it is running to prevent any problems.

Answer 4

I had that same error, while running gradle with java 14 (openjdk) as my default java implementation. Setting default java back to java 8 solved the issue

sudo update-alternatives --auto java

Answer 5

In my case I had bad credentials to private Maven repository. JIdea does not show the inner exception but running gradle build reveals the problem immediately.

Answer 6

I got this error when running code in IntelliJ Idea, and

gradle --stop

really not helped, as it said that "No Gradle daemons are running."

But simple kill of all gradle processes helped:

ps aux | grep gradle
kill -9 $PID
