Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory()

Question

I am using IntelliJ and am able to build and run my Gradle project via the GUI by pressing the play button, and yet running this command from the terminal

./gradlew --stacktrace deploy

produces this console output, and the build fails:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().
> Could not create service of type PluginResolutionStrategyInternal using BuildScopeServices.createPluginResolutionStrategy().

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.internal.service.ServiceCreationException: Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().

What if `/usr/libexec/java_home` doesn't exist? – Zoe Apr 17 '20 at 17:50
Maybe Android studio has an internal version of Java its using? Isn't `libexec` where all Java versions are housed? – the_prole Jun 24 '20 at 21:47

If it was, it would be tied to system packages and not Android Studio itself. It's evidently not from Java itself or it would've existed, probably. iDunno. All. The versions are actually stored separately elsewhere, so libexec is probably an abstraction layer (I think) – Zoe Jun 24 '20 at 23:09

The issues does come from Java 11, but similarly to the version name issue after the upgrade to Java 10, the issue can be fixed by upgrading Gradle. The issue isn't present in Gradle 5.5, but I'm not sure which version is the earliest to support it. (5.5 is, at the time of writing, the newest version of Gradle)

If you're using the per project Gradle wrapper (with a gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties), all you have to do is change the line containing the distribution URL, and bump the version:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.5-bin.zip

Just ran into the same issue by running a Gradle 4.7 on JVM11. Upgrading Gradle to 5.2.1 was enough to get rid of the error. — Jan Dolejsi, Dec 07 '20 at 21:31

I was using a remote Jenkins and the stack trace started similarly to the one in this question but the root cause was failure to create a .gradle

dir as the stack trace shows:

I found out that the dir it was trying to build in was owned by the root user but the Jenkins ran with the jenkins user. I solved it by chowning the dir to the jenkins user.

Thanks, this was my issue too. This is what happens when I create a new Mac user because my existing one is so bloated (because of Google Chrome). — Sridhar Sarnobat, Mar 23 '21 at 00:35

In my case I just opened up Android Studio and opened the project's folder, then Android Studio updated all the Gradle dependencies automatically. I do not use Android Studio to code (I use VSC), but after this I was able to run the project.

I'm using Gradle 4.3.1 and this issue comes when I'm running Jenkinsfile pipeline concurrent runs where a given pipeline is running parallel runs of a single Gradle task on N. no. of Gradle projects) in stages section.

Removing parallel section from the stages stage script section doesn't result into this --or other weird issues that I have listed in my post below --OR-- when you just run on pipeline run (i.e. non-concurrent runs) of the pipeline.

See here for more about my pipeline job / issues I have faced.

Open your project in show on explorer
select your project folder then go to property
then go to security then give access or permission to read, and write
basically check your project folder locked or not, if locked (To write) then give permission to write

The solution(React native) that worked for me. go to the .gradle folder and search for all .lock files in the subdirectories and delete them all. after that run the command gradlew clean and after that run your project with command react-native run-android.

I have also download a gradle6.6becasue that was deleted by someone from my system path.

I had this problem when referencing source code on my Macbook against a GoogleDrive mapped folder. When I moved my source code to a folder not using GoogleDrive mappings it started working again. I basically copied my source directory to my home directory, then gradle compiled fine. Seems some kind a filesystem reference was causing the problem.

I faced this issue recently, there is no specific answers for such issues as this may happen due to many reasons. You can try above solution which is given but I would suggest to check what is the permission given to your .gradle directory which is under your project directory (if you are not able to see .gradle then press Ctrl+H if using ubuntu)

If you working in ubuntu then locate to your project directory say if app name is my-app and then go to my-app and check permission with ll command (LL in small letters)

if above command give root root for .gradle then you need to change permission as ./gradlew clean or ./gradle bootJar may not able to use .gradle

you need to execute

sudo chown -R my-system-name:my-system-name .gradle

where my-system-name is your machine name so if machine name is manish then

sudo chown -R manish:manish .gradle

The solution is set old Java version/Java downgrade.

SOLUTION FOR UBUNTU

In my laptop I have JAVA installed in /usr/lib/jvm/

You can use this command in command line to set temporary JAVA_HOME

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

or simply update your .bashrc file in home

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64/

passing options to the Java runtime should be done using the `JAVA_OPTS` environment variable, never using the `JAVA_HOME` one. – Alonso Dominguez Nov 26 '18 at 10:39

Perhaps that should've been: `export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)` - I don't know, I don't have a `/usr/libexec/java_home` – Peter V. Mørch Jul 15 '20 at 06:58
