Gradle :Could not create service of type FileHasher

Question

I\'m using Gradle to build a java project. When I run any task (assemble, test). I get randomly an error :

Could not create service of type FileHasher using         


        

Answer 1

If the OS is Windows. Try this: gradlew build Find de PID Process

And in CMD execute this command

TASKKILL /F /PID  #PID

Answer 2

I just moved a project from Download folder (on Mac) to another one

Answer 3

In your terminal type this:

./gradlew build

and the outcome would be:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type FileHasher using GradleUserHomeScopeServices.createCachingFileHasher().
> Timeout waiting to lock file hash cache (/Users/zra/.gradle/caches/4.1-rc-1/fileHashes). It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.
  Owner PID: 17571
  Our PID: 26055
  Owner Operation: 
  Our operation: 
  Lock file: /Users/xxx/.gradle/caches/4.1-rc-1/fileHashes/fileHashes.lock

now do:

rm /Users/xxx/.gradle/caches/4.1-rc-1/fileHashes/fileHashes.lock

and build again.

P.S replace xxx with whatever username you've.

Answer 4

I couldn't find this info elsewhere, posting in case it helps someone:

I had the same issue while running Android Studio on ChromeOS (on Chromebook).

I had shared a Google Drive folder with Linux (by selecting a folder, right-clicking and selecting Share with Linux) and created my project there. Build failed with this error, and removing the lock file did nothing for me.

Problem was resolved for me by re-creating the project under a 'Linux folder'.

Answer 5

I had the same issue and the solution was to login with the correct user and then run gradle. I was logged in with a user that didn't had rights to run the tasks.
