Troubleshooting "/bin/bash: line 2: ./gradlew: No such file or directory"

Problem

When running ./gradlew, you may find that the command is not able to run. This is because the ./gradlew file will be part of your VCS commit, so you will need to either set the directory or define it within the command.

Solution

• Solution 1: cd to the directory containing ./gradlew

  - checkout
  - cd ~/project

• Solution 2: set the working directory to the directory containing ./gradlew

  working_directory: ~/project

• Solution 3: define the full directory containing ./gradlew

  ~/project/gradlew assembleDebugAndroidTest

• Solution 4: Enable the execute permissions for the user

Either use:

• chmod +x gradlew

• chmod 777 gradlew

This will allow you to use the ./gradlew file and you will no longer see the issue.

If you do please make sure that you have included the file within the top level of your VCS.
