Having problem to run gradle build in command line

[brolinuk]

I keep having this error message when I try to run the gradle build using command line, while no issues at all using IntelliJ

What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'xxxxx'. Failed to apply plugin [id 'net.vivin.gradle-semantic-build-versioning'] > Unable to find Git repository: Systen wide config file /usr/local/git/etc/gitconfig is invalid org.eclipse.jgit.errors.ConfigInvalidException: Cannot read file /usr/local/git/etc/gitconfig

The repository has been specified in the build.gradle file and build works fine with intelliJ.

maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
}

I am not sure why it tries to check the gitconfig file and why it failed when I try to run it in command line

Thanks in advance

It looks like it may have to do with how git is configured on your system. Have you tried googling that error?

[brolinuk]

I did, but unfortunately, I can't get any useful info.

If I comment out the use of this plugin, it will build fine :(

The plugin uses git to figure out the current tags on your repo. Have you looked at the contents of /usr/local/git/etc/gitconfig?

I have never changed this file and its permitted to read and write to everyone. I don't see anything wrong with it. Thanks

git does copy/rename detection. if you want it to track copies/renames:

That is is indeed a strange error. I am not sure what could be causing it. You said that building from the IDE works?

[brolinuk]

Yes, works fine with IntelliJ

[vivin]

@brolinuk Were you able to figure this out?

[brolinuk]

I solved this out by deleting the config file. Not ideal but does the job. Thanks
