[SOLVED] (GRADLE) Sponge Implementation Build Failed

Sponge Sponge Development
1

Hello again fellow developers,

I have successfully cloned the Sponge Implementation into a local directory on my computer (thanks to @simon816’s help) and, upon running the ./gradlew command in my unix command line, I am produced with a red message notifying me that the build has failed. As per the instructions on the github repository, this command should build the Sponge Implementation and pack it into a jar located in the ./build/libs directory. However, this is not the case because the build fails with the following error message:

:javadoc FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:javadoc’.
Javadoc generation failed.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 1 mins 13.427 secs

I have no idea how to go about fixing this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to run
git submodule update --init --recursive
before building

No need to worry about that. Those are just the javadocs. Sponge documentation lives at https://docs.spongepowered.org

Sorry for the delay @simon816 and @IronManDoesMC, but I have run the “git submodule update --init --recursive” command and the “./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies” before building and it still didn’t work.

Also, I understand that the error only involves the javadocs, which are unnecessary, but it also prevents a jar file from being created.

That’s likely another error then, though when I tested the following commands it worked fine:

In a clean directory
$ git clone https://github.com/SpongePowered/Sponge.git .
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies
Some time later…
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Very strange, it must be a mac thing.

Not always mac, Linux too, since they’re both based of Unix.

It happens for me as well on Windows. For now, you can exclude the javadoc task in the building process using the -x javadoc switch.

I’m having a different problem:

Found AccessTransformer in main resources: sponge_at.cfg

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • Try:
    Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 13.649 secs

Why can’t I access the file? I don’t understand…

You need to set up forge by running either
gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
OR
gradlew setupDevWorkspace
OR
gradlew setupCIWorkspace

Yes, that worked. I can’t really understand why, though…
