How to fix 'Could not write standard input to Gradle Test Executor 1' error in Java

Question

I'm trying to compline my code(on new branch) but I got the error after I fix and updated build.gradle but before I run that code my code(on old branches) is still working.

So I checkout master branch I still get that error

Here is my build.gradle after I fixed

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'jacoco'

group 'com.quangha'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
}
jacocoTestReport {
    reports {
        xml.enabled true
        html.enabled false
    }
}

check.dependsOn jacocoTestReport

I think it still working and this error

Answer 1

In my case the issue was caused by the java versions mismatch. My default java (and project's java) was 1.8.x, whereas the java set in gradle.properties in user's home was set to java 11: #This is Java installation that will be used by Gradle itself org.gradle.java.home=c:/tools/jdk-11.0.5 After aligning the org.gradle.java.home setting to point to the 1.8 version the issue disappeared.

That isn't exactly the answer. It worked for GregKo because he reconciled his java versions to 1.8. If he had decided to use jdk 11 everywhere instead, he would have got the same errors. But it works for me when I use 1.8 for Gradle and 11 for my project. – Cayes

Answer 2

In my case, the issue was happened due to below option in gradle.properties. This option was generated as default when I first create my android project.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

After I removed file.encoding option like below, there was no more problem for me.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2048m

Answer 3

I had a stray backslash and quote within build.gradle: \"more path...

     "-Djava.library.path=c:/project/hec-dss/heclib/javaHeclib/x64/Debug;\"more path...",
         "-Dorg.gradle.java.home=C:/Programs/Java/jdk1.8.0"
        ]

That caused this error below when running Junit.
