gradlew: Permission Denied

Question

I am attempting to run gradlew from my command line, but am constantly facing the following error.

Brendas-MacBook-Pro:appx_android brendalogy$ ./gradlew com         


        

Answer 1

Try below command:

chmod +x gradlew && ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace

Answer 2

Could also be fixed with

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew

Answer 3

if it doesn't work after chmod'ing make sure you aren't trying to execute it inside the /tmp directory.

Answer 4

You need to update the execution permission for gradlew

Locally: chmod +x gradlew

Git:

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
git add .
git commit -m "Changing permission of gradlew"
git push

You should see:

mode change 100644 => 100755 gradlew

Answer 5

This error is gradle permission related . Just paste below line in your terminal and run...

chmod a+rx android/gradlew

Answer 6

In my case, I had executed permissions and I couldn't run gradlew even with sudo. my problem was my project was in another hard drive and I didn't have exec permission on that drive. I simply removed noexec mount flag from fstab and added exec flag. then remount the disk so changes apply.
