Gradle build failed when using commandline

Question

I'm currently working on this android project which was just ported over from eclipse to android studio. Using android studio IDE to build the APKs works fine and all but recently I wanted to try using terminal (mac osx) to build and things were not going smoothly at all. Even the most basic commands like

gradle

or

gradle tasks

does not work at all and keep failing at the same point. Below is a stacktrace of the error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':MyApp'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

* Try: Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is: org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring project ':MyApp'.

I've spent almost an entire day googling for some answers but nothing comes up. I'm hoping someone here would be able to point me in the right direction.

On MacOS - Check if your ~/.bash_profile JAVA_HOME is pointing to the same JDK used by Android Studio.

In my case is like this: export JAVA_HOME=/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/

If it is not, change the .bash_profile to match with the Android Studio.

The Good Giant Over a year ago

I had a similar situation (tests failing from the command line but succeeding in Android Studio) on OSX ..and that solved my issues (and saved my day).

Faced with `org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException` error on my `gradle build`

managed to find someone else who had exactly the same problem as me, and his solution works by putting the correct java path into the project's gradle.properties

org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/<jdk_version>/Contents/Home

Try to use ./gradlew tasks instead. See the difference between both commands here.
