How do I determine why my Gradle Daemon died? The only message I get isL
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)
This occurs in an active build. Several steps will finish and a step will appear to be active and then the build fails.
This began after moving our memory args (Xmx Xms PermGen) from a shell script that called gradlew to gradle.properties and calling gradlew directly.
build.sh
export GRADLE_OPTS="\"-Xmx1024m\" \"-Xms256m\" \"-XX:MaxPermSize=256m\""
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/java/jdk1.6"
exec ./gradlew "$@"
Addition to gradle.properties
org.gradle.java.home=/usr/local/java/jdk1.6/
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m -Xms256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
After this change Gradle warns:
To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consider using the daemon: http://gradle.org/docs/2.2.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
And even though we don't ask it to, the build is running in a daemon, which ultimately fails.
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly most frequently occurs when something else kills the long-running Gradle Daemon process and the client process (the Daemon uses local TCP connections to communicate) tries to send a message and gets no response.
For example, running gradle --stop or killall java while a build is occurring will reproduce this problem.
