I want to run my unit test with this command
gradlew.bat connectedInstrumentTest
But it tries to download https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
And my corporal network blocks it. Hence, I want to setup the zip manually, I already downloaded it from browser.
The ways I failed are listed below
- Pasting it in Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\
gradle-2.2.1 didn't work
- File -> Settings -> Build execution, Deployment -> Build Tools and
defining the gradle home directory didn't work
Any suggestions except these will be much appreciated. Thanks.
In your command you're using the Gradle Wrapper. The Gradle wrapper is a thin wrapper around the real Gradle bin. It's intended to be checked in to your source control and it then downloads the version of Gradle you've defined in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
. The advantage here is the version of Gradle used in the build is directly tied to the source control.
You have 2 options:
- use the
gradle
command instead of gradlew
- this will use the gradle
that's installed on the local machine (assumes that 'gradle' is on the PATH). The drawback here is you have to have installed Gradle somewhere before the build will work.
- change
distributionUrl
in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
to point to a different URL and host that file yourself somewhere. You get all the advantages of the wrapper but fix the problems you're having downloading it.
Solution :
1). Delete the C:\Users\username\.gradle folder
2). Download http://downloads.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
3). Create a new project in android studio.
4). When this time it stucks at gradle building, Force close the android studio.
5) Now go to C:\Users\username\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-2.2.1-all\c64ydeuardnfqctvr1gm30w53 (the end directory name may be different)
6) Delete gradle-2.2.1-all.zip.lck and other files from this directory.
7) Paste the new downloaded gradle-2.2.1-all.zip here.
8) Run the android studio. :)
