Cache It is currently in use by another Gradle instance

Question

I don't understand why this is happening.

Gradle sync failed: Timeout waiting to lock buildscript class cache for build file '/Users/user/Documents/android-studio-pubble/App/build.gradle' (/Users/user/.gradle/caches/2.2.1/scripts/build_bqh4uod6cat7u5cm5qkoye2ky/ProjectScript/buildscript). It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.

general gladle is:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url '/Users/user/Documents/sdk/extras/android/m2repository' }

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:deprecation" << "-Xlint:unchecked"
    }
}

App gradle file is:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

            keyPassword 'testapp'
            storeFile file('/Users/user/Documents/sdk/testapp.keystore')

        }
    }

It used to work and then i wanted to add a new module and it all went downwards after that. Does anyone had this problem and solved it? I don't even know what is wrong..or how i made this.

Answer 1

The easiest way to solve this is to be delete a cache.

For Windows it's under C:\Users\Administrator\.gradle\caches

For Mac OSX it's ~/.gradle/caches

Try to execute the following command:

find ~/.gradle -type f -name "*.lock" | while read f; do rm $f; done
