[Building mod results in "No such version exists!"]

I have found a temporary workaround for this issue.

Navigate to your 'ForgeVersion.json' which you can find under %userprofile%\.gradle\caches\minecraft\   (Windows)

In this file you need to replace a "0" underneath whichever version of Minecraft your mod uses, with the correct forge release version.

For example I am using MC 1.12.2-14.23.5.2814, so I end up with:

"1.12.2": [
      14.23.5.2814,
      0,

      ...

 

You can find out which version your mod needs in the build.gradle file.

Once you have done this set the ForgeVersion.json to read only, to prevent the update from overwriting your changes.

However, make sure you remeber to remove the read only property when this issue is fixed!

 

[Can't build mod anymore]

Ah I see, thanks.

 

Is there somewhere I can view known issues or keep up-to-date on these sort of things?

[Can't build mod anymore]

Until about an hour ago I was building a new mod I am working on with no issues.

Now all of a sudden I get the following error when trying to build:

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'I:\BlockFinder\build.gradle' line: 24

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'BlockFinder'.
> No such version exists!

 

The line in question:

 

minecraft {
    version = "1.12.2-14.23.5.2814"

    ...

}

 

I have tried reinstalling after deleting all the .gradle folders but with no luck. I even tried installing a fresh version of forge on a computer I have never before used it on and still experience the same issue.
