Need Help Building Mod (1.8)

[TheFirefly]

Hi, I'm really new to this modding thing, just spent the last 15 days coding and texturing my mod and now for some reason I'm not able to build it (Whenever I find a way to build it, it shows no textures or models) Here's my error and my build file, is there anything else I should post? Let me know, thanks!

 

Error:

 

C:\Users\Victor\Desktop\TheMod\AurorasBloom>gradlew build--debug

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 

* Where:

Build file 'C:\Users\Victor\Desktop\TheMod\AurorasBloom\build.gradle' line: 43

 

* What went wrong:

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'AurorasBloom'.

> Cannot convert URL 'C:Users.Victor.Desktop.TheMod.AurorasBloom.src.main.resour

ces' to a file.

 

* Try:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug

option to get more log output.

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else

    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {

I really wish I could get this to work, it was alot, ALOT of time spent =/ Thanks in advance, I've been searching the answer on the foruns for the past 4h and can't get it to work, sorry if I did anything wrong.

Can you help? I found that on a tutorial, I have no idea what to do. REAAAALLY newbie on this coding thing.

Don't use absolute paths in your build.gradle script (C:/Users/.../src/main/java), use relative paths (src/main/java). This way other people will be able to download your code from a site like GitHub and compile it themselves without having to put it in a specific location.

 

Anyway, you don't need to explicitly set the Java and resources paths if you're using the default ones (src/main/java and src/main/resources), you can delete the

sourceSets

block.

Tryed both solutions, the first suggestion, made no real difference, same error, /'s instead of .'s

The second solutions makes the build successfull but I get no textures! =/

Ok, Turned out there was a typo... Sorry about that, stills, build goes successful and I get no textures or models, like there were no json files whats'o'ever
