I load a project from git and build it successfully on MacBook. When I type './gradlew assembleRelease' in terminal window, I get an error:
bash: ./gradlew: No such file or directory
So I check if gradlew is under the project dir, but I can not find it. But I can still run task from 'Gradle projects' window.
What's wrong?
gradlew script is so-called Gradle wrapper, a self-contained script which allows people to run Gradle tasks without gradle installed. However it doesn't have to exist to execute Gradle tasks, it's absolutely optional.
You can generate Wrapper in your project by executing the task
gradle wrapper
Afterward, you can use ./gradlew script instead of gradle from PATH
To specify a Gradle version use --gradle-version on the command-line. Just execute the command:
gradle wrapper --gradle-version <your gradle version>
Take a look here for more exhaustive and comprehensive explanation: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html
In my case I copied gradlew file from windows(10) to linux(centos7).
So had to run
[user@server]$ dos2unix gradlew
And it worked.
Update:
If you have copied from windows as in my case.
Do one thing, open it in notepad++, Go to View -> Show Symbol -> Show End of Line.
You can notice CRLF This is the Windows EOL. Now convert it so you don't have to redo it.
To convert notepad++ -> Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Unix (LF)
That's it, while pushing to git fiddle aroung .gitattributes
Check the android directory if there gradlew exist or not.
If gradlew does not exist then execute following command.
On CommandLine tool, change directory to android
$ cd android
$ gradle wrapper --gradle-version 6.0.1 (you can keep your desired version)
This will generate everything related to gradle with default config.
