[[troubleshooting]]
= Troubleshooting builds

The following is a collection of common issues and suggestions for addressing them. You can get other tips and search the link:https://discuss.gradle.org/c/help-discuss[Gradle forums] and link:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/gradle[StackOverflow #gradle] answers, as well as Gradle documentation from link:https://help.gradle.org/[help.gradle.org].

[[sec:troubleshooting_installation]]
== Troubleshooting Gradle installation

If you followed the <<installation.adoc#installation,installation instructions>>, and aren’t able to execute your Gradle build, here are some tips that may help.

If you installed Gradle outside of just invoking the <<gradle_wrapper.adoc#gradle_wrapper,Gradle Wrapper>>, you can check your Gradle installation by running `gradle --version` in a terminal.

You should see something like this:

----
❯ gradle --version

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 6.5
------------------------------------------------------------

Build time:   2020-06-02 20:46:21 UTC
Revision:     a27f41e4ae5e8a41ab9b19f8dd6d86d7b384dad4

Kotlin:       1.3.72
Groovy:       2.5.11
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.7 compiled on September 1 2019
JVM:          14 (AdoptOpenJDK 14+36)
OS:           Mac OS X 10.15.2 x86_64
----

If not, here are some things you might see instead.

=== Command not found: gradle

If you get "command not found: gradle", you need to ensure that Gradle is properly added to your `PATH`.

=== JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory

If you get something like:

----
ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of your Java installation.
----

You’ll need to ensure that a link:{jdkDownloadUrl}[Java Development Kit] version {minJdkVersion} or higher is link:https://www.java.com/en/download/help/index_installing.xml[properly installed], the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable is set, and link:https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml[Java is added to your `PATH`].

=== Permission denied

If you get "permission denied", that means that Gradle likely exists in the correct place, but it is not executable.
You can fix this using `chmod +x path/to/executable` on *nix-based systems.

=== Other installation failures

If `gradle --version` works, but all of your builds fail with the same error, it is possible there is a problem with one of your Gradle build configuration scripts.

You can verify the problem is with Gradle scripts by running `gradle help` which executes configuration scripts, but no Gradle tasks. If the error persists, build configuration is problematic.
If not, then the problem exists within the execution of one or more of the requested tasks (Gradle executes configuration scripts first, and then executes build steps).

[[sec:troubleshooting_dependency_resolution]]
== Debugging dependency resolution

Common dependency resolution issues such as resolving version conflicts are covered in <<viewing_debugging_dependencies.adoc#,Troubleshooting Dependency Resolution>>.

You can see a dependency tree and see which resolved dependency versions differed from what was requested by clicking the _Dependencies_ view and using the search functionality, specifying the resolution reason.

The link:https://scans.gradle.com/s/sample/troubleshooting-userguide/dependencies?expandAll&filters=WzFd&toggled=W1swXSxbMF0sWzAsMF0sWzAsMV1d[actual build scan] with filtering criteria is available for exploration.

[[sec:troubleshooting_performance]]
== Troubleshooting slow Gradle builds

For build performance issues (including “slow sync time”), see <<performance.adoc#,improving the Performance of Gradle Builds>>.

Android developers should watch a presentation by the Android SDK Tools team about link:https://youtu.be/7ll-rkLCtyk[Speeding Up Your Android Gradle Builds].
Many tips are also covered in the Android Studio user guide link:https://developer.android.com/studio/build/optimize-your-build.html[on optimizing build speed].

[[sec:troubleshooting_build_logic]]
== Debugging build logic

=== Attaching a debugger to your build

You can set breakpoints and debug <<custom_plugins.adoc#sec:packaging_a_plugin,buildSrc and standalone plugins>> in your Gradle build itself by setting the `org.gradle.debug` property to “true” and then attaching a remote debugger to port 5005.

----
❯ gradle help -Dorg.gradle.debug=true
----

In addition, if you’ve adopted the Kotlin DSL, you can also debug build scripts themselves.

The following video demonstrates how to debug an example build using IntelliJ IDEA.

=== Adding and changing logging

In addition to <<command_line_interface.adoc#sec:command_line_logging,controlling logging verbosity>>, you can also control display of task outcomes (e.g. “UP-TO-DATE”) in lifecycle logging using the <<command_line_interface.adoc#sec:command_line_customizing_log_format,`--console=verbose` flag>>.

You can also replace much of Gradle’s logging with your own by registering various event listeners. One example of a <<logging.adoc#sec:changing_what_gradle_logs,custom event logger is explained in the logging documentation>>. You can also <<logging.adoc#sec:external_tools,control logging from external tools>>, making them more verbose in order to debug their execution.

[NOTE]
Additional logs from the <<gradle_daemon.adoc#gradle_daemon,Gradle Daemon>> can be found under `GRADLE_USER_HOME/daemon/<gradle-version>/`.

=== Task executed when it should have been UP-TO-DATE

`--info` logs explain why a task was executed, though build scans do this in a searchable, visual way by going to the _Timeline_ view and clicking on the task you want to inspect.

.Debugging incremental build with a build scan
image::troubleshooting-task-execution-build-scan.png[]

You can learn what the task outcomes mean from <<more_about_tasks.adoc#sec:task_outcomes,this listing>>.


[[sec:troubleshooting_ide_integration]]
== Debugging IDE integration

Many infrequent errors within IDEs can be solved by "refreshing" Gradle.
See also more documentation on working with Gradle link:https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle.html[in IntelliJ IDEA] and link:http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGradle/article.html[in Eclipse].

=== Refreshing IntelliJ IDEA

**NOTE:** This only works for Gradle projects link:https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle.html#link_gradle_project[linked to IntelliJ].

From the main menu, go to `View` > `Tool Windows` > `Gradle`. Then click on the _Refresh_ icon.

=== Refreshing Eclipse (using Buildship)

If you're using link:https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.buildship[Buildship] for the Eclipse IDE, you can re-synchronize your Gradle build by opening the "Gradle Tasks" view and clicking the "Refresh" icon, or by executing the `Gradle` > `Refresh Gradle Project` command from the context menu while editing a Gradle script.
