NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.getFile(Ljava/io/File;[Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/io/File; about fork

We haven't been able to reproduce, so any more details would help.

Not able to reproduce, would need more info.

I'm hitting the same error in the latest 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT (and on 1.1.1).

Some info:

Groovy:       2.3.10

The only other Gradle plugin I'm using is android-apt.

Adding commons-io to the buildScript dependencies didn't help.

I'd be happy to provide more information, is there something specific that would help @iordanis ?

[iordanis]

That's a bit hard to guess, would you be able to post a tiny project that reproduces the issue?

Fork already brings commons-io as a dependency, so I can't think of why it would not find that method. You can check: ./gradlew fork-runner:dependencies --configuration=compile. That brings commons-io version 2.4 that has that method.

Starting with a blank project, I encountered a different problem ("No devices found"), although adb devices lists my Genymotion instances as well as the plugged in physical device. I used ./gradlew fork -Dfork.eachdevice=true. Will report back once I got that running.

I also stumbled upon this, looks related, albeit from a while ago: https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2963

[iordanis]

For that one stop the gradle daemon: ./gradlew --stop. We're tried putting a fix but it doesn't look like it worked. See #62

[hannesstruss]

I found the issue to be a different Gradle plugin that I overlooked (applied in top level build.gradle...), which depends on IOUtils using the old org.apache.commons group ID. That resolves the issue for me. Sorry for the fuzz!

[iordanis]

Oh cool, good to know we haven't broken anything :)
