Could some sharp eye find what has been bugging me for the last week? I cloned this repo but build fails with this exception:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Where: Script "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\repos\project\Launcher\git.gradle" line: 4
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script. Failed to apply plugin 'com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git'
Cannot run program "git" (in directory "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\repos\project\Launcher"): CreateProcess error=2, System cannot find specified file

This is my git.gradle:
ext.nextVersion = "patch"
ext.snapshotSuffix = "<count><dirty>"
ext.dirtyMarker = ".d"
apply plugin: "com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git"
task git_count {
def process = ("git rev-list --count HEAD").execute(null, project.rootDir)
process.waitFor()
if (process.exitValue() != 0) {
ext.count = 0
return
}
ext.count = process.text.trim().toInteger()
}
Things I've tried:
Both solutions described in this Gradle semver-git plugin page
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
}
}
dependencies {
classpath "gradle.plugin.com.cinnober.gradle:semver-git:2.5.0"
}
}
apply plugin: "com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git"
And:
plugins {
id "com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git" version "2.5.0"
}
Also tried directly downloading the .pom file and loading it locally using:
flatDir {
dirs "${rootProject.rootDir}/libs"
}
I even tried this solution from another SO answer:
Including this on my build.gradle
plugins {
id 'com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git'
}
And including this on my settings.gradle
pluginManagement {
buildscript {
repositories {
flatDir {
dirs '/libs'
}
}
dependencies {
classpath ':semver-git:2.5.0'
}
}
}
The relevant part of the error message is likely the end:
Cannot run program "git" (in directory "C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\repos\project\Launcher"): CreateProcess error=2, System cannot find specified file
It's saying that it tried to run the program git but couldn't find it. It seems the plugin tries to run git as part of the process of applying it and it failed while doing so.
You already have git somewhere on your system since you cloned the repo, but it likely hasn't been added to your PATH so the script can't find it when it tries to run the command git
Windows Settings -> System Environment Variables -> Path. Edit the Path variable by appending the full path to the folder your git executable is in.C:\Program Files\Git\bin if that's where your git.exe lives.Here is a related question which has more detailed instructions about how to add git to the PATH with detailed examples.
