Yesterday all of the sudden my projects on a Windows 10 machine stopped running in parallel due to file lock timeouts.
All my projects are using gradle-wrapper and provide a run task
When I start the 1st run-task, it work normally, but any following run-tasks break with the error like this:
> .\gradlew run
Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 busy and 4 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Gradle could not start your build.
> Could not create service of type FileAccessTimeJournal using GradleUserHomeScopeServices.createFileAccessTimeJournal().
> Timeout waiting to lock journal cache (C:\Users\injec\.gradle\caches\journal-1). It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.
Owner PID: 16440
Our PID: 12216
Owner Operation:
Our operation:
Lock file: C:\Users\injec\.gradle\caches\journal-1\journal-1.lock
the --status option shows:
> .\gradlew --status
PID STATUS INFO
12216 IDLE 6.9.1
16440 BUSY 6.9.1
14992 STOPPED (stop command received)
7856 STOPPED (other compatible daemons were started and after being idle for 0 minutes and not recently used)
26680 STOPPED (by user or operating system)
18556 STOPPED (by user or operating system)
I tried different tricks, like switching the Gradle verison 5.6.1 - 6.8.3 - 6.9.1 and using the --stop option, but the error remains.
Adding the --stacktrace to the run command reveals that not only journal-1 cache is involved, but also some others dirs like modules-2.
I didn't do any changes to my system, apart from regular Win10 updates.
How can the problem be fixed?
TIA
See the My comment in a thread and the rest of discussion.
On my Win11-box I needed to add an exclusion to Antivirus on C:\Users.gradle\caches folder to make Gradle run normal again.
Hope this will help someone...
