Gradle and Android Studio build fails

Question

I've always been able to use Android Studio . I upgraded to Gradle Version 2.9 and I keep getting errors while building. I get the following error:

Gradle:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using 
BuildScopeServices.createScriptObjectConfigurerFactory().

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

I've tried running it with --stacktrace and --info but it doesn't seem to help much. Should I post it here to get help?

EDIT(My --debug output):

19:39:58.668 [DEBUG]

Answer 1

If nothing seems to work, then do this

Just delete your .gradle folder

Located here C:\\Users\\username.gradle ( for Windows )

Answer 2

In my case, this was caused by a 32-bit JVM installed on a 64-bit machine (I was using (jdk-8u92-linux- i586 .tar.gz).

Switching to a x64 JDK install (jdk-8u92-linux- x64 .tar.gz) fixed the problem.

Answer 3

In my case, it was being caused by lack of permission in the file-system. I just change the directory owner and it starts to work:

sudo chown -fR $(whoami):staff /opt/gradle-4.6
