gradlew: Permission Denied

I am attempting to run gradlew from my command line, but am constantly facing the following error.

Brendas-MacBook-Pro:appx_android brendalogy$ ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace
-bash: ./gradlew: Permission denied

I am already running this command from my project directory. Need to run this command as I am facing the same (nondescriptive) error on Android Studio 0.2.x as encountered here: Android studio and gradle build error

Am I doing something wrong and how do I get around this?

Try to set the execution flag on your gradlew file:

chmod +x gradlew

Could also be fixed with

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew

You need to update the execution permission for gradlew

Locally: chmod +x gradlew

Git:

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
git add .
git commit -m "Changing permission of gradlew"
git push

You should see:

mode change 100644 => 100755 gradlew

You could use "bash" before command:

bash ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace

Jenkins > Project Dashboard > (select gradle project) Configure > Build

x Use Gradle Wrapper

Make gradlew executable x

2

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew

This command works better especially on non-unix system.

Just type this command in Android Studio Terminal (Or your Linux/Mac Terminal)

chmod +x gradlew

and try to :

 ./gradlew assembleDebug

0

on android folder cmd run

chmod +x gradlew

and run

./gradlew clean

and root project run

react-native run-android

With this step set permission to gradlew

steps { echo 'Compile project' sh "chmod +x gradlew" sh "./gradlew clean build --no-daemon"
}

This issue occur when you migrate your android project build in windows to any unix operating system (Linux). So you need to run the below command in your project directory to convert dos Line Break to Unix Line Break.

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix

If you dont have dos2unix installed. Install it using

In CentOs/Fedora

yum install dos2unix

In Ubuntu and other distributions

sudo apt install dos2unix

if it doesn't work after chmod'ing make sure you aren't trying to execute it inside the /tmp directory.

Try below command:

chmod +x gradlew && ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace

I got the same error trying to execute flutter run on a mac. Apparently, in your flutter project, there is a file android/gradlew that is expected to be executable (and it wasn't). So in my case,

chmod a+rx android/gradlew

i used this command and execute the project

For Linux Only

View > Tool Windows > Terminal

before

./gradlew.bat tasks

after

./gradlew tasks

eg

./gradlew dokkaHtml
