gradlew: Permission Denied
I am attempting to run gradlew from my command line, but am constantly facing the following error.
Brendas-MacBook-Pro:appx_android brendalogy$ ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace
-bash: ./gradlew: Permission denied
I am already running this command from my project directory. Need to run this command as I am facing the same (nondescriptive) error on Android Studio 0.2.x as encountered here: Android studio and gradle build error
Am I doing something wrong and how do I get around this?

Try to set the execution flag on your gradlew file:
chmod +x gradlew
chmod +x gradlew
I edited it already. You're welcome.

is there some reason the default template doesn't already set gradlew as executable? it seems odd that i would have to do this.

I had similar issue when setting up Atlassian Bamboo build; checking the gradlew file out from git it didn't have the executable attribute so had to add a "script" task to my job to chmod +x as @Vincent pointed out. Thanks!

@Abhijit you can check the file permissions by doing
ls -l. This gives you the file permissions on the left-most column.– Sudhanshu

ls -l
Jenkins > Project Dashboard > (select gradle project) Configure > Build
x Use Gradle Wrapper
Make gradlew executable x
Does it work for you? I set the checkbox in my job's settings but it didn't lead to making gradlew executable. I use
clean before checkout option.– zubactik

Works for me! You have to tell jenkins explicitly to make the executable.

You could use "bash" before command:
bash ./gradlew compileDebug --stacktrace
Could also be fixed with
git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew
This command works better especially on non-unix system.
if it doesn't work after chmod'ing make sure you aren't trying to execute it inside the /tmp directory.

You mean, chmod +x gradlew? (: It worked. Please edit your answer so that I can mark it as the accepted one. Thanks!
