I have two repos on my mac that I am trying to run at the same time with gradle bootRun. I can run one of them fine, but when I run the other I get this message. I have never seen this before when running two repos with gradle. I have tried using gradle --stop, deleting my caches file in gradle, removing "*.lock" file, and restarting the daemons. Nothing works.

What is happening?

You can kill the gradle proccess stucked:

sudo kill -9 <Owner PID>

close your android studio and just delete

this file, and test again

This wasn't enough for me. I had to remove all lock files in the .gradle folder, running find ~/.gradle -type f -name "*.lock" -delete – Interviewee

Answer 3

sudo kill -9

In your case: sudo kill -9 7366
