Cannot run dotnet cake build.cake successfully

[Picao84]

Hello,

I've been trying to build this project locally but running dotnet cake build.cake always ends up in failure as it cannot download any of the jar sources! Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks,
Tiago

Nothing. Does it stop? Basically detecting whether maven artifact exist is 200 vs 404 probing.

dotnet cake calls dotnet cake -t=ci and you should find nugets in ./output/ folder. Do not interrupt it until it finishes.

Did you add new artifacts? if yes those might cause errors and exits/stops later.

I did not add new artifacts. I managed to get further now and I get an error from Gradle.

Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ReflectionCache

Exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7 [in thread "Daemon worker"]

I guess there might be issues with JAVA and Gradle versions? Which do you recommend? Thanks!

I managed to solve it by specifying JAVA version 11 location on Gradle.Settings file!

Oh, oh.. now on the libs task I get: "error MSB4057: The target "_GetRestoreSettingsPerFramework" does not e
xist in the project. [TargetFramework=MonoAndroid12.0]" on every project...

OK. I asked/stated because I thought you might want to bind something new.

Most likely. Which java do you have installed?

 gradle --version

I see AX is using 6.3 and GPS-FB-MLKit repo (this one) uses 6.1.1.

So I was able to run all tasks now until libs fails with "The target _GetRestoreSettingsPerFramework does not exist in the project" on every single project. Any idea why? Thanks in advance!
