IDEA and how to disable gradle wrapper generation? - gradle

I am new to IJ IDEA and Gradle KTS.
I created the kts by hand and imported it into IJ. IDEA has generated the gradle wrapper, but I do not want this. If I delete the gradle wrapper and associated directory, IDEA prompts me to 'import changes' from gradle, which then creates the gradle wrapper again...
My question is how to prevent this behavior? ie prevent gradle wrapper generation?
I found documentation for the Wrapper task, and the option to point to a local install using distributionUrl. But that doesnt seem to prevent the generation of the gradle wrapper, only bypass the download...
Also I can not find any options in IDEA to disable this behavior.
btw I do understand the benefits of the wrapper.
Thanks.
IntelliJ IDEA EAP 2019.2
macOS 10.12.4
gradle 5.2.1
kotlin DSL 1.1.3

Disabling access to the download directory seems to work:
mkdir -p ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists && chmod -rwx ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
Note that this prevents the wrapper to work at all (which is exactly what I want) and causes error messages, but as far as I can see it does the job and the project simply has to be configured to use the system gradle distribution after import.

Change default option of Intellij IDEA gradle plugin

Everytime I check out and open a project in Intellij I need to change the gradle plugin setting "Use Gradle from" from the default "'gradle-wrapper.properties' file" to "'wrapper' task in Gradle build script"
Is there a way in Intellij 2020 to make the shown option the default?
Reason I am asking: Generated gradle-wrapper files are not in our VCS, but the build.gradle is, and it has the wrapper task configured with the desired version. So when I check out a project, Intellij does not find gradle.properties (and neither can download gradle from web, as that is blocked). I then have to change the option "Use Gradle From" manually each time.
Another solution I tried is to automatically run a script when opening a module, which would run gradle wrapper with a fixed gradle version for the module, hence generating the missing wrapper files. But I find no possibility in Intellij to trigger that upon import..
It is not possible to change this setting for all projects. Please vote for this request: IDEA-215792.

gradle-wrapper.properties not found after clean install intellij idea 2020.1.2 community edition on windows 10

Installed clean windows10(1607) and intellij idea(2020.1.2 community edition). When i create new gradle project
Invalid Gradle JDK configuration found. Open Gradle Settings
"gradle-wrapper.properties not found".
How can I fix it?
Install gradle 6.7
sdk install gradle 6.7
brew install gradle
Go to IntelliJ and set gradle version:
On File >> Settings >> Build, Execution , Deployment >> Gradle
or
Preferences >> Gradle
In Use Gradke from specific the correct location
If IDEA is set to use the Gradle wrapper (as it is in your screenshot: "Use Gradle from:" is set to "gradle-wrapper.properties"), IDEA expects the following file structure:
Gradle wrapper JAR: [project root]/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
Gradle wrapper properties: [project root]/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
Gradle wrapper script: [project root]/gradlew.bat
If you are missing one of these three elements, IDEA will attempt to generate the wrapper by calling the gradle wrapper task. It will do this using the Gradle JDK, which may or may not be the project SDK (File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle > Gradle JVM).
I'm not sure how it selects the version of Gradle it uses - I only have 6.8.3 installed on my machine, and I had my wrapper properties set to 7.0-rc-1, yet somehow it used 6.7.0 when generating the wrapper.
I tried various options for clearing the cache, but did not get the result.
Openjdk-14 installed by default and does not work. From site adoptopenjdk.net install OpenJDK 11 (LTS). When creating the project, I chose 11 version. Then the program suggested updating gradle to version 6 and it worked.
I ran into this problem a while ago when I upgraded to intellij 2020.* The first time I created a new project there was no problem: gradle daemon did its work and the project was created with no problems.
In my case, the project would start a new gradle daemon, and attempt to build the project, would get rejected by windows Security, and nothing would happen, so intellij goes ahead and starts another (unsuccessful) daemon. Soon, I had 20+ gradle daemon processes running on my system, all of them doing nothing.
So, it looks like intellij has messed in enabling that it places the appropriate permissions it requires for these folders that it depends on to run properly. So, you need to manually give these permissions, and then things (should) work.
The real issue here is security on your machine: either a virus checker or the security software, Windows Security on Windows 10, for example. The first time you make a project, Intellij goes and produces a number of folders that they need access to.
However, once these folders are available, for whatever, intellij doesn't make sure to give itself access.
On windows 10, in AppData, you'll find several folders required by Intellij to produce, in my case, produce gradle projects.
Try finding the various folders that Intellij has produced on your system, and give them exceptions on your virus checker and on whatever firewall/security software programs that may block access.

Update gradle version if necessary on autodeployment

I updated gradle locally by changing the version in my build.gradle file here:
wrapper {
gradleVersion = '5.6.1'
}
Next I was not able to build directly due to errors, but my IDE noticed that the version of gradle has changed and offered to install it through a popup. After that everything worked.
When I pushed my changes to my autodeployment tool it currently builds the project by executing:
call gradlew clean war
But I'm getting the same errors and this time there's no smart IDE to come to the rescue :D Therefore my question:
How can I make sure my gradle always updates to the version that is defined in build.gradle before trying to build?
The version of Gradle that is used by the wrapper script is the one defined in the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.
When you want to update Gradle, you could go manually changing that file, but this won't update the actual wrapper script and jar file. So it is a better practice to run ./gradlew wrapper, which will update gradle-wrapper.properties and, if needed, the other support files as well.
To tell the wrapper task which version you want to use upgrade to, you can either use a command line parameter, or do what you are doing and keep the version in the build.gradle file (this is always what I do as well).
I usually run the wrapper task twice: first to update the version and second to both download the new version and then regenerate the scripts from this new version.
Remember to commit all files changed by the wrapper task, which could be gradlew, gradlew.bat and the two files in the gradle/wrapper folder.

Intellij issue resolving dependency for spring kotlin

Intellij is giving me errors all around for brand new kotlin/spring project and I cannot build or run the project from the IDE.
If I do it from the command line however, there are no issues and I can build and run the app.
'classpath' in 'org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.DependencyHandler' cannot be applied to '(groovy.lang.GString)'
'apply' in 'org.gradle.api.plugins.PluginAware' cannot be applied to '(['plugin':java.lang.String])'
Cannot access class 'java.lang.String'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencie
Type mismatch.
Required:
java.lang.String
Found:
kotlin.String
Any ideas to what may be the issue?
I tried Kotlin multiplatform JVM type mismatch in InteliJ but doesn't seem to fix the issue.
UPDATE:
Cleared gradle caches, reinstalled Intellij, Import project that was created from start.spring.io with Gradle and Kotlin selected.
Using default gradle wrapper and project jdk (the path says jre)? gives me an error. Open gradle settings just opens the file explorer.
Using default gradle wrapper and machine local JDK same issues with the dependencies from above.
This issue comes up if you set up your own module inside IntelliJ and you think that since you are doing a Kotlin (Maven) project, the SDK should be set to Kotlin. Wrong!
The problem is shown in the first image. The project SDK is set to Kotlin.
Change it to Java. Probably any 8+ Java will be good enough.
This solves the IDE errors and the compiler errors as well.
Unset KOTLIN_HOME and other Kotlin- or Java-related settings you may have in your environment (env to check, unset NAME to unset.)
Then kill any Gradle daemon still running (pkill -f GradleDaemon) and test your Gradle build from the terminal. If all goes well, remove the .idea directory; restart IDEA, making sure to run it without the stray environment variables (for example, launch idea.sh from the terminal where you unset them); and re-import your project, with the choice of using the default Gradle wrapper.
If you need to use standalone Kotlin versions, installed for example through SDKMAN, consider taking the SDKMAN activation lines out of your shell init file (.bashrc for Bash) and into a standalone script (say, ~/bin/sdkman) that will also change your shell prompt (PS1 in Bash) to remind you that you have entered a SDKMAN-managed CLI session.

Makefile to gradle conversion for golang application

I have a go lang application which exposes a rest API and logs the information to DB. I am trying to convert the make file to gradle build. Is there any default way similar to maven2gradle plugin or the gradle build file should be written manually? I checked the syntactical differences between gradle and make file but still not clear about passing run time arguments to gradle that is similar to
run:build
./hello -conf=/apps/content/properties/prop.json -v=0 -logDest="FILE" -log_dir="/var/log/logdir"
hello is my executable and others are the runtime arguments. This is my first attempt in migrating make to gradle and I couldnt find any clear documentation. Please help.
As far as I have checked, there is no direct plugin that could do this task. As a workaround, the build execution could be written as seperate tasks in gradle and ordered accordingly. Tasks here would contain setting Go path, installing dependencies and building the application and would be run as command line process in Gradle. Gradle provides support to run command line processes as described in gradle documentation. Hope it helps.
