How to define Gradle s home in IDEA

Question

I am trying to import a Gradle project into IntelliJ  and when I get to the Gradle Home textbox  it is not automatically populated  nor will typing in the path of Gradle Home result in a valid location - I have the GRADLE USER HOME environment variable set  to what I think is   the correct path  and I have been able to successfully import this same project into Eclipse  Any suggestions

This is instruction for MAC only   I had the same problem  I solved it by configuring  GRADLE HOME in  bash profile  Here s how you do it    Open  bash profile  usually it s located in the user   s home directory   Add the following lines to update  PATH variable   export GRADLE HOME  usr local opt gradle libexec export PATH  GRADLE HOME bin  PATH   Save it  Apply your changes by running  source  bash profile    I wrote my own article with instruction in a case if somebody will encounter the same problem

In case you are using Mac  most probably your gradle home should be  usr local gradle-2 0 for example   In preference of IDEA search for gradle and set gradle home as given above  It should work

This is what helped me solve the problem of not having Gradle home set for the IDEA when importing a Gradle project    THREE OPTIONS --  A  Default Wrapper  B   gradle  wrapper  task configuration  OR  C   local gradle distribution  defined by jetbrains  https   www jetbrains com help idea gradle-settings html  A  Default Wrapper  recommended       If you are able  select this recommended option  If it is grayed out  see option C  which should then set your default for all subsequent projects    B  Gradle  Wrapper  Task Configuration  If you want IDEA to define your gradle version for you from your build script   Set this option if you define your gradle build versions as a task within your actual gradle build     Example below from jetbrains  https   www jetbrains com help idea gradle-settings html     useful if you do not want to share gradle builds between projects   C  Local Gradle Distribution   1  Run the following command to get gradle location      brew info gradle  if gradle was installed with homebrew    2  You are looking for something like this       usr local Cellar gradle 4 8 1   3  Next  append  libexec  to the gradle location you just found    usr local Cellar gradle 4 8 1 libexec   This is because  libexec is to be used by other daemons and system utilities executed by other programs   i e  IDEA   Please see https   unix stackexchange com questions 312146 what-is-the-purpose-of-usr-libexec  4  Finally  put that new path in the Gradle home input box if IDEA prompts you       IDEA should now have allowed you to hit OK

If you installed gradle with homebrew  then the path is    usr local Cellar gradle X X libexec   Where X X is the version of gradle  currently 2 1

AFAIK it is GRADLE HOME not GRADLE USER HOME  see gradle installation http   www gradle org installation    On the other hand I played a bit with Gradle support in Idea 13 Cardea and I think the gradle home is not automatically discover by Idea  If so you can file a issue in youtrack   Also  if you use gradle 1 6  you can use the Graldle support for setting the build and wrapper  I think idea automatically discover the wrapper based gradle project     gradle setupBuild --type java-library     gradle wrapper   Note  Supported library types  basic  maven  java  Regards

You can write a simple gradle script to print your GRADLE HOME directory   task getHomeDir       doLast           println gradle gradleHomeDir           and name it build gradle   Then run it with   gradle getHomeDir   If you installed with homebrew  use brew info gradle to find the base path  i e   usr local Cellar gradle 1 10    and just append libexec   The same task in Kotlin in case you use build gradle kts   tasks register  getHomeDir         println  Gradle home dir    gradle gradleHomeDir
