It is currently in use by another Gradle instance

Question

I\'m new to Gradle build system. I want to do some basic functions on it. I\'m running/building it in command line. I am referring User guide. And, doing some simple tasks.<

Answer 1

Sometimes fast way comes in a non-elegant deal, there we go:

Find first the # of all gradle process running on

ps -A | grep gradle

After that, get the IDs, Kill 'em all one by one

sudo kill -9 <process ID>

Now you're good ;-)

Answer 2

Its Work for me for Problem:-

"Error:Timeout waiting to lock jars It is currently in use by another Gradle instance. Owner PID: 6896 Our PID: 5048 Owner Operation: Our operation: Lock"

Solution:-

1. close the Android Studio and Open Task manager and end the process java.exe
2. open the derectory ....gradle\caches.
3. Delete the jar2.lock file.
4. Open android Studion and clean the project.

Answer 3

That Gradle failure message is usually followed by the relevant process IDs, so it would be

Gradle sync failed: Timeout waiting to lock daemon addresses registry [...].
It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.

Owner PID: 1234
Our PID: 5678
Owner Operation: ...

In order to unlock, just kill the owner process:

sudo kill -9 1234

Answer 4

Having the same issue on a Mac, none of the above worked for me. What worked , though, was opening the Activity Monitor and closing a running java process. I also noticed that an .hprof file was generated, which I deleted. After that, I ran my project and it worked.

Answer 5

open terminal and move to project path then run depending on the operation system: gradlew clean or ./gradlew clean

Answer 6

I was too stuck with the same thing. But it was sorted soon. Just delete the file:

D:\.gradle\daemon\6.1.1\registry.bin.lock

also, I've ended OpenJDK from task manager. Idk it helped or not but both of them solved the problem.
