How to change the version of the 'default gradle wrapper' in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

I want to use Gradle 1.10 instead of 1.9. I cannot seem to find where to change this.

If I put this:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '1.10'
}

in my build.gradle and rebuild, it is built with Gradle 1.9 again (so nothing actually happens).

These seem to be all the settings: (and IntelliJ's help section about Gradle doesn't help at all :( )

Solution 1

The easiest way is to execute the following command from the command line (see Upgrading the Gradle Wrapper in documentation):

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.5

Moreover, you can use --distribution-type parameter with either bin or all value to choose a distribution type. Use all distribution type to avoid a hint from IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio that will offer you to download Gradle with sources:

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 5.5 --distribution-type all

Or you can create a custom wrapper task

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '5.5'
}

and run ./gradlew wrapper.

Solution 2

Open the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties in your project. Change the version in the distributionUrl to use the version you want to use, e.g.,

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

I just wanted to chime in that I hit this after updating Android Studio components.

What worked for me was to open gradle-wrapper.properties and update the gradle version used. As of now for my projects the line reads:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.5-all.zip

Solution 4

The 'wrapper' task in gradle is called if gradlew command is used, if you use gradle command to build the wrapper task is not called. So, there are two ways you can change your gradle version.

1. Use 'gradlew build' command, this command will call the wrapper task that you mentioned. That task will change the 'distributionUrl' parameter in gradle-wrapper.properties file and it will automatically download the gradle version you want. Example distributionUrl in the file for version 4.2. distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.2-bin.zip

2. If you are not using gradle wrapper simply download the version of the gradle you want and set environment variable path and also show it to IDEA.

P.S. for more information about gradle wrapper I suggest you to read: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html

I was facing same issue for changing default gradle version from 5.0 to 4.7, Below are the steps to change default gradle version in intellij
1) Change gradle version in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties in this property distributionUrl

2) Hit refresh button in gradle projects menu so that it will start downloading new gradle zip version

have tried this: stackoverflow.com/questions/24460299/… just delete the wrapper files and then execute the wrapper task again

[dabluck]

better to use the gradle task they created for this purpose so the scripts update properly, etc.

[dabluck]

they also update their binary files and scripts, which you do not get unless you run the update task. this could potentially create incompatibilties

If running the task in a root project that contains sub-projects, run ./gradlew :wrapper with a colon in front of the task name.

Yep. See Upgrading the Gradle Wrapper in Gradle documentation.
