Perhaps a smidge of context?

off-topic

As a Java-dev it turns my guts insight-out seeing this completely wrong reflections call just to call on start-up method from another. I hope noone using gradle writes code that's as ugly as this start-up code itself. If you even think about reflections you certainly don't need them as you try to do what should not be done!
For anyone who want's to know how to propetly work with dynamic loadables like "plug-ins": Have a look at the ServiceLoader api - it's designed for exactly such use cases.

sure, usually I use maven,but I received new project based on gradle. I had gradle installed on my machine. When I tried to use it from console, it failed to start. Maven works just fine, but gradle. System is up to date.

Gradle version in extra repo is 8.8 and has only asm 9.7 .
Output of

pacman -Qikk gradle

?
What command are you running that gives that output ?

hmm, those outputs look normal to me.
The change time is probably when you updated gradle to latest version (8.8) .

Delete or move away ~/.gradle , then rerun gradle from console .

Already tried to delete this folder, this method does not work

Lone_Wolf · 2024-06-04 07:51:46

Is there a gradle build present in the folder you are running the command from ?

If yes, run gradle from a folder without any gradle files present.
(create a new empty one if needed )
Does that give the same error ?

ASM 9.1 was the first version with jdk 17 support, maybe that is related .

With root rights run archlinux-java set java-22-openjdk .

run gradle and post full output.
(there should be more then just the error message).

nothing changed, message the same

java often has issues with wayland.

Are you using X or wayland ?
Which WM/DE/compositor ?

Run

$ gradle --info > gradle-info-log.txt 2>&1
$ gradle --debug > gradle-debug-log.txt 2>&1

Check both files , if they don't give more information :

Let's try to figure out if the issue is systemwide or in user config.
create a new linux user (for testing) . configure as little as possible and run gradle as that user.

I created user "tgradle" assign groups users and wheel, set password. I changed user with commmand su userName. It shows the same message under mentioned user with different home dir. Any other ideas ?

Lone_Wolf · 2024-06-05 09:44:19

logging out as your normal user and logging in as the new user is preferred method , as su gives a mixed environment .

I hope you did add --login to the su invocation ?
If not, try with another fresh user.

Did gradle-info-log.txt and gradle-debug-log.txt from your normal user give more info then just the error message ?

Looked again at the outputs in #8 and I was wrong : they do look weird .

/usr/bin has 4755 permissions . the 4 corresponds to the setuid-bit which has no effect on directories at all !
Default permissioin for /usr/bin should be 0755 .

stat /usr/share/java/gradle/lib/plugins

Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: ( 1000/       v)   Gid: (    0/    root)

folders in /usr/share have no business being owned by users !

post the outputs of

$ stat /usr/bin /usr/share /usr/share/java /usr/share/java/gradle /usr/share/java/gradle/lib /usr/share/java/gradle/lib/plugin
# pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

(the second one must be run with root rights to reduce number of messages .

Especially the 2nd output could still be long , see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … ted_client for methods to upload text outputs to public storage.

Maybe I missed it: Have you tried to uninstall gradle by pacman -R gradle and clean everything left behind? Maybe some earlier update failed and the issue is caused by inconsistencies.
