Ionic-cli: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

[ntenisOT]

Problem with building my app with ionic in the CLI for Android (it runs ok for iOS). Here is the error code:

Here is my ionic info

Ionic Version: 1.0.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.5.0
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.1.0
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: 3.1.1

I tried cordova build android

and it shows the same error:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

Can you please investigate this issue :) Thanks in advance!

Also, whats in the contents of platforms/android folder?

Specifically: ls -la platforms/android/gradle/wrapper/

I don't know if it helps but the project builds and runs ok on iOS.

Thanks.

@ntenisOT I had the same problem. It seems to be the colon in your project's path. Something must be doing something like PATH=$PATH:/my/path/with/a:colon/gradle/wrapper. I'm not sure if colons are illegal in cordova projects' path names, but changing the colon to an underscore fixed the build.

• I am facing the same issue. Please suggest.

@ravikajain Did my fix not work for you? https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/478#issuecomment-151629678

[pillito]

@dwieeb I have the same problem but i didn't understand exactly what you mean, you mean the path must be specified in a bash_profile?

[imhoffd]

@pillito No. @ntenisOT's issue was that he had a colon in his workspace path. If you don't have a colon in your workspace path, then you have a different problem. Post the entire error and I might be able to help.

I had a problem similar to this and its because I had a broken Android studio installed and when I reinstalled it instead of replacing my sdk folder under users\ {your name}\appdata\local\android it created a new folder called sdk1 which was not being called.
