There is a weird problem which I am not sure about its source.
I am using Intellij IDEA (2016 3.3) and Gradle (v3.3). I use Windows 10, Turkish OS.
Gradle has a wrapper properties file. (./gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties)
The content of that file, which is generated by Gradle:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-bin.zip
When I open a Gradle project in Intellij, the last line of that file turns into this:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-b\u0131n.zip
Intellij overwrites bin into b\u0131n. I checked what \u0131 refers to, and it is ASCII code for 'ı' letter.
And because the URL is broken, I can't build the project.
There are a lot of 'i' letter in that file (not mentioning the whole project), but somehow Intellij turns that specific 'i' in 'bin' into ASCI of 'ı'.
I have this problem for long, but for the first time Intellij insists overwriting it when I try to correct the letter manually. The only difference this time is that I created a multiple-modules containing project which means there are more than one gradle-wrapper.properties file.
Do any of you know why and how to solve this?
After some research, I found the origin of the bug and it is not Intellij IDEA but Gradle.
@Input
public String getDistributionUrl() {
if (distributionUrl != null) {
return distributionUrl;
} else if (gradleVersion != null) {
return locator.getDistributionFor(gradleVersion, distributionType.name().toLowerCase()).toString();
} else {
return null;
}
}
toLowerCase() method in here uses my locale (tr-TR) so the output of "BIN".toLowerCase() is "bın".
I added an issue in Gradle-dev Google group and suggested a solution.
