First off.. it is really confusing on where you are supposed to ask for help with forgegradle setup. The sticky "read first before posting" topics seem to go in a loop. This one says do not ask for support but the forum sub says this is for asking for support and help. So I am sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
I am trying to install forge (most recent "Recommended" build) following the installation instructions. I have had an older forge setup before so I didnt bother downloading a newer jdk (i had an older version of 7). I downloaded the zip. Extracted to a new folder. Right clicked to open cmd and put:
gradlew.bat setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies
and it runs through and gives me "overlappingFIleLockException"
I have tried the following:
searching google for and these forums for: "overlappingFilelockException" and other variations with gradle, forge, classpath, etc
using setupDevWorkspace
redownloading forgeGradle
downloading the newer JDK7 and resetting JAVA_HOME and PATH with the newer JDK install
disabled antivirus
restarting the computer
a lot of the above has been done multiple times when something changes (downloading new JDK so retry all the different commands etc)
I am at a loss of what to do. I have looked at the build.gradle file but haven't changed anything.
I have a file with the stacktrace https://gist.github.com/Ditchbuster/9882142 uploaded.
I originally ran gradle on a slow internet connection. I don't know if when it tried to download something the first time something got messed up. I have deleted and redownloaded since that first run. Does it save files somewhere else that might need to be cleaned up?
EDIT: Added that I am using the most recent recommended build
