I saw the same error but in my case it was a fresh Git installation without LFS installed  The repo in question was set up with LFS and the gradle-wrapper jar was in LFS so it only contained a pointer to the LFS server  The solution was simple  just run   git lfs install   And a fresh clone did the trick  I suppose git lfs pull or just a git pull could have helped as well but the person with the problem decided to do a fresh clone instead

You are probably missing gradle-wrapper jar file under directory gradle wrapper in your project   You need to generate this file via this script in build gradle file as below   task wrapper type  Wrapper       gradleVersion    2 0     version required     and run task   gradle wrapper   With gradle 2 4  or higher  you can set up a wrapper without adding a dedicated task   gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2 3   OR  gradle wrapper --gradle-distribution-url https   myEnterpriseRepository 7070 gradle distributions gradle-2 3-bin zip   All the details can be found this link

HankCa solved the problem in my case as well  I decided to change my dangerous      jar ignores to self-explanatory ones like src    lib   jar to avoid such problems in the future  Ignores starting with      are a bit too hazardous  at least to me  And it s always a good idea to get the idea behind a  gitignore row just by looking at it

Your gradle wrapper is missing  broken or corrupted    What is gradle wrapper  gradlew is the gradle wrapper executable - batch script on windows and shell script elsewhere  The wrapper script when invoked  downloads the defined gradle version and executes it  By distributing the wrapper with your project  anyone can work with it without needing to install Gradle beforehand  Even better  users of the build are guaranteed to use the version of Gradle that the build was designed to work with   Restoring gradle wrapper  It used to be that you needed to add a wrapper task to your build gradle to restore gradle wrapper and all its dependencies  For instance   task wrapper type  Wrapper        gradleVersion    4 1      Newer versions of gradle do not require this  It is now a built-in task  Just run   gradle wrapper   You can also supply additional flags to specify versions etc  gradle wrapper --gradle-version 6 2 --distribution-type all   When you run this task  a gradle wrapper script  and the required jar files are added to your source folders  Properties are stored in gradle wrapper gradle-wrapper properties   You may need to install gradle locally to run this  brew install gradle on mac for instance  See more detailed instructions here   Why was it missing in the first place  OP seems to have deleted something that gradle wrapper depends on   But a common reason is that a  gitignore entry prevents wrapper jars from being checked into git  Note that the  gitignore in effect may be in the source folder  or a global one in your user home folder or git global configuration  It is common to have a   jar entry in  gitignore   You can add an exception for gradlew s jar files in  gitignore    jar  gradle wrapper gradle-wrapper jar   or force add the wrapper jar into git  git add -f gradle wrapper gradle-wrapper jar   ref  Gradle Wrapper

In my case it was a global  gitignore  as explained in  HankCa s answer   Instead of forcefully adding the jar  which you ll need to remember to do in each Gradle project  I added an override to re-include the wrapper jar in my global  gitignore     jar  gradle wrapper gradle-wrapper jar   This is useful to me as I have many projects that use Gradle  Git will now remind me to include the wrapper jar   This override will work so long as no directories above gradle-wrapper jar  such as gradle and wrapper  are ignored -- git will not descend in to ignored directories for performance reasons

Our problem was that the gradle-wrapper jar file kept getting corrupted by git  We had to add a  gitattributes file with the line    jar binary  Then remove the jar from git and add it again  Weirdly enough that was only required for one of our repos but not the others
