gradle fails with Problems reading data from Binary store error

Question

I have a Gradle file that runs the tests. It does not build anything. All it has is a unzip task that extracts all jars in a Gradle configuration into a particular directory and then runs the task of type Test. This test task points the testClasses directory to the location where the previous copy task has extracted the configuration into.

My build fails with the error message:

Problems reading data from Binary store

When I run 'gradle dependencies' it does not show any error/warning When I run the copy task individually, it runs very well fine. Only when I run everything it fails with error :

> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':testConfig'.$    > Problems reading data from Binary store in /tmp/gradle8793563212642185736.bin (exist: false)$ 

I see the file /tmp/gradle8793563212642185736.bin does not exist. What could be the reason for this?

Answer 1

In my case setting org.gradle.parallel=false flag fixes the issue, but it's not a solution for my project, flag increase CI build time from ~15min to ~45min.
