Gradle Location is incorrect. here is pic.

When I go to the path C:\Users\Sir John Qadir\ there is no any gradle1.6 folder in there. How to resolve this?

Answer 1

When using homebrew, instead of (as suggested in other answers):

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

It's better to use:

/usr/local/opt/gradle/libexec

It's a symlink and will survive brew upgrade.

Answer 2

Point to the folder <gradle root folder>/libexec. Things should start working.

Answer 3

If you use brew to install gradle on mac, then use /usr/local/Cellar/gradle/4.0.1/libexec

Answer 4

If you have installed your gradle with brew then it would be:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/<version>/libexec/

Answer 5

Try using this path:

For Windows

C:\Users\MyHome\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-1.6-bin\<some random folder>\gradle-1.6

For UNIX (Debian, Mac etc.)

~\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-<a-version>-<bin or all>\<some random folder>\gradle-<a-version>

Answer 6

Create a build.gradle with:

task getHomeDir << {
    println gradle.gradleHomeDir
}

Then run it with:

gradle getHomeDir

You should see something like:

/usr/local/Cellar/gradle/1.6/libexec

You can use that to populate the Gradle plugin, and you’re off.
