jcenter 502 bad gateway after gradle refresh

Question

Unable to connect to jcenter address https://jcenter.bintray.com/

Got an 502 Bad Gateway response

And also in my intellj IDE after I click gradle refresh

Could not GET 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/github/jnr/jffi/maven-metadata.xml'. Received status code 502 from server: Bad Gateway

Anyone knows what happened?

Solution

Bin tray is experiencing "intermittent issues" on their download network : https://status.bintray.com/

This is affecting any travis CI build that uses the ubuntu trusty distro. The builds fail during apt get update. And probably all kinds of other build systems

These are not official repos. Thay can contain hacked jars.

Just experienced the same error today, Bintray is currently investigating this issue (Intermittent download issues in Bintray from Europe)

Bintray is now sunsetted - jfrog.com/blog/…

Bintray is supposedly permanently sunsetted at this point.

[Noor Hossain]

so, what is the alternate now ?

The sunset and it's impact on Jetbrains software is discussed here. The way I read that is that you have two options: upgrade to a 2020.3 or newer version, or if that is not possible use a cache redirector which they discuss in the comments on the post.
