Error with gradlew: /usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory
Solution 1
The problem's cause was that Git on Windows converted the line endings of gradlew
from Unix style (LF) to Windows style (CRLF).
You can turn off that automatic conversion using git config core.autocrlf false
.
Setting the line endings of gradlew
back to Unix style fixed the problem. In Vim this is done using :set fileformat=unix
.
Solution 2
This is because the gradlew file has Windows file-endings.
You can install dos2unix
with apt-get
or yum
by running:
sudo apt-get install dos2unix
sudo yum install -y dos2unix
and then use dos2unix
to convert the line-endings
from CRLF
Windows CarriageReturn + LineFeed
to LF
Linux LineFeed only:
dos2unix ./gradlew
Then run your gradlew
for a test:
./gradlew clean -d
Solution 3
Thanks for the answers, these highlighted that the problem was Windows creating the gradlew, when I am on mac.
To fix this, from the directory of the app I ran the command:
gradle wrapper
This creates (replaces the broken) a gradle wrapper, that works! (notice it uses your local gradle
install to fix the wrapper of the app)
Solution 4
To solve it permanently for Git checkouts on Linux and Mac:
In your root Git repo directory add a file named .gitattributes
with this content:
gradlew text eol=lf
More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes
PS: Works too for .sh
files using this entry:
*.sh text eol=lf
The entries work at checkout time and convert the line endings of these files to LF
.
Solution 5
A vendor had shipped a gradlew
with Windows carriage returns. Opening gradlew
in vim revealed ^M
line endings. Running :e ++ff=dos
removed the line endings and resolved this issue.

After committing my project's
gradlew
file from my Windows machine to the remote repo using Git, invokinggradlew
on my Linux server failed with this message:/usr/bin/env: bash: No such file or directory
What happened?

Martin Erlic about 7 yearsThis doesn't solve my problem. I'm using Windows as well.
-
Jeremy Mangas over 6 yearsAs an additional help for Windows users, it can be done in Notepad++ using the menu item Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Unix (LF)
