Gradle build fails

[askask]

When trying to run gradle build, it fails with the following output:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/data/code/BatchEuphoria/build.gradle' line: 21

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'BatchEuphoria'.
> Command failed with code 128: '/usr/bin/env git -C /data/code/BatchEuphoria describe --tags --dirty'
  Error output: 'fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.'

Works for me:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

It looks like Travis has the same problem: https://travis-ci.org/eilslabs/BatchEuphoria/builds/239918962

Could you clone the repository to an empty folder and try it again?

You're right, I can remember the problem. I could solve it locally by adding a tag like e.g. 0.0.01 or so. I tried to repeat it on GitHub, but it didn't work with Travis. I need to talk to vinjana to solve it.

Fixed by pushing a random tag 0.0.01
