Gradle can't connect to maven repo through corporate proxy - need to configure through Sencha/Cordova

Question

I\'m trying to build a Sencha Touch app for android using Cordova. However, after the gradle build kicks off I get a connection error when trying to connect to the maven rep

You'll need to configure Gradlew to use a proxy server. This is done by creating a gradle.properties file with the following contents:

systemProp.http.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.http.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.http.proxyPassword=password
systemProp.http.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost  

systemProp.https.proxyHost=www.somehost.org
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8080
systemProp.https.proxyUser=userid
systemProp.https.proxyPassword=password
systemProp.https.nonProxyHosts=*.nonproxyrepos.com|localhost

This is an example taken from Chapter 19.3 of the User Guide. Make sure you include both the HTTP and HTTPS values in your file.

You'll place this gradle.properties file in either of these locations:

1. In your "cordova/platform/android" folder for your mobile project

OR

2. In your Gradle home folder. For Windows, this is likely %USERPROFILE%\.gradle\ (Ex: C:\Users\username\.gradle\).

I would recommend putting it in Gradle home so that other projects pick it up and you don't have to worry about putting it under source control.

I had the same error, but it was after i installed git which in turn changed my environment variables. I went back there to remove the added path and it worked
