Minecraft Forge hat is causing this error when I run `./gradlew wrapper`?

Question

I'm having quite a bit of trouble with ./gradlew . I am trying to make a 1.14.4 mod, and have been having a lot of problems with gradle , but I've finally got gradle working (an error in my build.gradle code). I'm on a Mac, and my friend (with whom I am building the mod) is not, and running

./gradle wrapper

works fine on his computer but not on mine. It must be a system issue, but I'm really not sure. The error I keep getting is:

Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().
> Could not create service of type FileHasher using BuildSessionScopeServices.createFileSnapshotter().

I've looked online, and all of the work-arounds I have found doesn't help me. Running ./gradlew wrapper with --info I get this . Running with --stacktrace , I get this . Finally, with --debug I get this . I don't know if these are helpful (I'm sure they are, if you know what to look for).

Any insights into what on earth is causing this is greatly appreciated!

PPS: it isn't just ./gradlew wrapper that doesn't work; it is ./gradlew <anything> —even just ./gradlew !

Found the problem for me. In the process of trying to initially get gradle working, I added touch ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and specified org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.jdk/Contents/Home . Typing /usr/libexec/java_home -V you will get a list of your Java versions, so in my local gradle.properties , I had to specify a Java version less than 11 (it ended up being open adoptopenjdk-8.jdk ). To see Java versions, type brew search java , and then brew cask install <desired java version> (for mac users).
