Answer 1

Same error occurred for me also.

In build.gradle previous code like

exec {
        commandLine 'git', 'describe', '--tags'
    }

then I added 'cmd' before 'git'

and that error gone.

below is code after adding the code

exec {
        commandLine 'cmd', 'git', 'describe', '--tags'

    }

Answer 2

exec {
    commandLine "git", "submodule", "update", "--init", "--recursive"
}

Then I added cmd before git.

and that error gone.

exec {
    commandLine "cmd","git", "submodule", "update", "--init", "--recursive"
}

Answer 3

This happen if git not configured properly with the Android Studio project.
And nobody seems experienced this before. Because I google thousand times and solutions not work.

What is just work for me:

• Solution for Gradle Build Android Studio Project
• Clone the project from git. Or Upload your project to git and clone Fresh in empty folder of your PC. (This is for configure git properly, other way did not work properly to my project)
• Delete if any .idea folder exists.
• Open as existing Android Studio project.
• Let it roll. If it require any dependency, continue with that.

Answer 4

new ByteArrayOutputStream().withStream { os ->
    def result = exec {
        executable = 'git'
        args = ['log', '-1', '--pretty=format:%ct']
        standardOutput = os
    }

    return os.toString() + "000"
}

Change to the following code

new ByteArrayOutputStream().withStream { os ->
    def result = exec {
        executable = 'cmd'
        args = ['log', '-1', '--pretty=format:%ct']
        standardOutput = os
    }

    return os.toString() + "000"
}
