gradlew assemble failing on Travis-CI

Question

I'm trying to get a private build to behave on Travis-Ci Pro but it keeps complaining because ./gradlew assemble is failing. Here's the full log:

Your build has been stopped.

I'm not really sure what to do. I followed the gradle setup for a project per the Travis documentation and it should work fine... Here's my travis config file

language: java
jdk:
  - oraclejdk8
  - oraclejdk7
  - openjdk7

before_script:
- chmod a+x gradlew

sccript: ./gradlew build

If I build locally via IntelliJ IDEA or by the following:

• gradle build
• chmod a+x gradlew && ./gradlew build

it works flawlessly. Any hints?

Answer 1

For anyone passing by my issue was in my .gitignore file. I inadvertently added this entry:

gradle/

Which was causing gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar to not be included in my repo. Removing this entry in the .gitignore file and committing the changes to the repo fixed the issue.
