Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory

Question

My gradle has stopped working all of sudden. Current configuration is that:

• Environment variable as GRADLE_HOME, pointing to Gradle-3.2.1

Simply ran the command gradle in command prompt, and I get following message:

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().

Running with debug gives the following additional message:

Tried to search around those two exceptions, but to no avail as of yet. Any suggestion or ideas?

Answer 1

Setting gradle version from 4.7 to 4.8 fixed this issue for me. In gradle-wrapper.properties, use this line instead of old one:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.8-all.zip

Answer 2

I probably broke gradle 4.7 by installing Java JDK 11. The solution was to upgrade gradle.

As I'm using MacOS and as I have installed gradle using homebrew, I've upgraded it like so:

brew upgrade gradle

Now I have gradle 5.0 and it's working perfectly.
