"gradlew build" fails on task ":reobf" with IllegalArgumentException

[Hunternif]

I am using Forge v10.13.2.1230 for Minecraft v1.7.10."gradlew build" works for the example mod that ships with Forge src, but fails for my mod. I've tried running it with JAVA_HOME set to JDK v1.6 and JDK v1.7 with identical results. Following is gradle log:

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 8.791 secs

 

The stack trace seems to point to the following line in org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor (although the line number doesn't match the log - does gradle use a different ASM jar from the one that's in the mod's build path?)

if (api != Opcodes.ASM4 && api != Opcodes.ASM5) {
     throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}

It worked after I changed "runDir" in build.gradle from "run/assets" or "eclipse/assets" (which I had from an older version of Forgem when that variable was called "assetDir") to just "run" or "eclipse". I still have no idea what that folder has to do with building, because it remained empty. An explanation will be appreciated.

 

EDIT: Never mind, it worked once, now it doesn't work again. Please help.

[Hunternif]

I tried this:

gradlew cleanCache
gradlew setupDevWorkspace
gradlew eclipse

And the build worked. But after I added

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

the error appeared again.

[Hunternif]

Once again, it worked 1 time, then on subsequent launches of "gradlew build" it failed on task ":reobf" with the same exception.

Before that I had been working as usual: added some texture assets, modified some code, nothing that should have changed the way the project is built. I did restart my computer once, so I suppose, that could possibly be the reason why it did work once again.

I had the same problem with 1.7.10. CleanCache fixed the issue. But then I updated to 1.8 and the issue was back. I tried cleanCache several times, but no luck. I hope someone here knows what went wrong, as I'm not able to build any mod for 1.8 right now.

 

EDIT: Okay, I managed to get it built by running cleanCache command and then build command (no SetupDecompWorkspace in between). I wish there was better solution, though.

[Hunternif]

So I ran cleanCache again and it worked, then after some time and setupDecompWorkspace it started failing again. I ran cleanCache once again, and setupDecompWorkspace too, because I need it for development, and after that it has worked several times so far.

 

EDIT: later today, it broke again

I also had this issue. My first fix was using the "--refresh-dependencies" gradle arg. Worked every time but really slowed down build time as it has to redownload the deps each time.

 

Today I tried totally re-installing forge gradle by just deleting the .gradle folder in my user area (beware downloads take ages). This seems to have fixed the issue but I've only run 5 test builds so far.
