I've set up Forge/gradle according to pahimar's method, which ran smoothly through setupDecompWorkspace and the Idea setup. However, upon trying to launch the client in Idea for the first time, I get this error log:

Pahimar's eclipse folder (the eclipse folder that is in the same folder as the gradle stuff) shows assets being added to it after the gradle setup, but mine is empty of anything but .metadata. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because no matter what I reinstall, the issue continues to arise.

Run

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

again until you have solved the problem.

Tried that, it just skips everything and give me some warning about the bootstrap not matching the 1.6 source.

Try

gradlew getAssets

It worked for me.

Does nothing for me, it just skips over it and says it was successful This is odd.

I've run just "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" and it worked.
