Unable to build example mod (1.14.4)

UPDATE:

 

As of August 01 I've managed to resolve this issue (as described in the thread below), but after building the mod I am still unable to test it in the client.
I'm compiling a list of related threads here, as this seems to be an unresolved issue for several people.

 

The following threads are related to the original issue of finding the mapped snapshot:

[July 20] Could not find mapped snapshot

[July 31] gradle genIntellijRuns does not supply 1.14.4 forge as external library

[July 31] Can't Download Forge, failing on :compileJava

 

The following threads are related to the ongoing issue of being unable to test the mod:

ORIGINAL POST:

 

Hi all, newcomer here. I've done a bit of research on this and can't find any answers.

After downloading and extracting the mdk, I've followed the steps found here but whenever I try to run gradlew build I run into this error:

The first problem I identified was that the forge_gradle directory did not contain a folder named "bundeled_repo". It did however contain something called "minecraft_user_repo", which contained the rest of the file path and the .pom file that gradle was searching for. I assume this is an error in the installation, so I made a copy of the "minecraft_user_repo" folder and renamed it "bundeled_repo". I tried building the project again, but received the same error as above.

I have deleted the entire project folder and re-extracted the mdk, multiple times, with no luck. For what it's worth, I have installed and run Forge version 1.14.4-28.0.24 and I'm using eclipse with the 8u221 version of both the JDK and JRE.

As far as I can tell this seems like an issue with the 1.14.4 version of either forge or the mdk, but I can't find any information, and I am totally new to modding so I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

 

Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

Yeah the docs need to be updated.

Don't mess about in the Gradle cache.

 

What IDE are you using?

[mbh333]

I'm using Eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0)

 

All I've done is:

• run the gradlew eclipse command in my project folder
• import the project folder into eclipse
• change the group and archivesBaseName fields in the build.gradle file
• run gradlew build from the command line

 

Worth noting, I just tried running gradlew eclipse on a new extraction of the mdk files, and I noticed this in the console, towards the end:

MinecraftUserRepo: Failed to get Minecraft Joined SRG. Should not be possible.
Could not resolve: net.minecraftforge:forge:1.14.4-28.0.24_mapped_snapshot_20190719-1.14.3

 

This is followed by a warning about deprecated gradle features making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0, and then the "build successful" message.

[mbh333]

This issue has finally been resolved, after I tried the following:

• re-install the JRE and JDK for version 1.8.0_221
• remove any newer versions of the JDK that were previously installed
• restart the computer

 

I still have no idea what was causing it, and I have seen a few other instances of people running into the same error, so I'm editing the original post to keep track of these threads. If it is indeed related to the JDK, then it would be good if the error message made that clear, or if there was a clearly documented solution somewhere for these sorts of basic setup issues.

Clarifying solution.

i solve this problem. i think look at wrong place

the gradle is searching for "tools.jar" but it search in wrong place instead in your jdk installation folder the gradle search in your jre installation folder

the main problem is not

but the main problem is the gradle cannot find the tools.jar

 

step to fix it

1. copy all file in [your jdk installation folder]\lib\*.* to [your jre installation folder]\lib\  (i recommended to copy all not only "tools.jar"(who  know it depent other library))

2. restart cmd

3. run your gradle task

and it maybe fixed

 

story how i solved it:

one day i run a minecraft forge gradle task and it results BUILD UNSUCCESFUL error an i read everything that show in the cmd from when i type the "gradlew build" command to the end and i find the main cause of the problem is the gradle cannot find the tools.jar(to find this i set screen buffer height to 9000 and width 167) and i have installed the java JDK and i think it maybe search in my JRE folder to test if this true i copy all files and folder in [jdk installation fold]\lib\*.* to [jre installation folder]\lib\ and it work and i post this to this forum

i forget to check all the error from start to the end and i also look at wrong place i just realize it
