fresh MDK from forge website not working

[theishiopian]

I'm trying to build a fresh mod from the forge MDK, but I'm running into a problem. Whenever I run setupDecompWorkspace, it says:

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'C:\Users\Andrew\Coding\Minecraft\Forge\UsefulPotionArrows\build.gradle' line: 24

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

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

I haven't tampered with the build.gradle file in any way, or anything else in the folder. Its all fresh from the zipped mdk download from the forge website.

Can you run it again with --stacktrace and --debug and post the results? What forge version are you working on? What java version(s) do you have installed?

[theishiopian]

I'm running on java 8, forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768. I'll have the stacktrace and such shortly.

I know you said that you didn't modify your build.gradle file, but can you post it and your gradle.properties file?

Did you open the project with your IDE or modify it in any other way before running the command?

Is there a .gradle file at \Users\YourName\.gradle?

If you haven't done anything try deleting the .gradle folders from your workspace and C:\Users\<Your Username>\

I'll be honest I'm taking a stab in the dark here, hoping that forcing a re-download of everything might help.

 

[theishiopian]

Im not sure. There should be. Ill check when I get home.

ok, so now I'm getting a different error. I deleted the .gradle at both c\users\name and in the project directory, both gave the same error.
