Can't compile the language server

[vorner]

Hello

I'm following the BUILDING.md documentation. But when I type the recommended ./gradlew :server:installDist, I get this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'kotlin-language-server'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not find net.coacoas.gradle:ensime-gradle:0.3.0-SNAPSHOT.

It seems it's using some non-existing dependency. Where do I get it?

(Note: I'm not experienced with anything JVM related, I just need to interact with some kotlin code and hoped to make my life a bit easier, so maybe I'm missing something others consider obvious)

It seems to build fine in CI. Could you try recloning the repository and making a clean rebuild?

[vorner]

I've managed to successfully build inside a clean docker.

But if I do git clean -xdf and try it on current master on my main system, I still get this error (it's gentoo).

Is there some other cache I might clean?

Closing as this issue is quite old, and versions have changed a bit since them. No new similar issues have been reported. Please let me know if it should be reopened 🙂

For people who want another option than above, you could also try deleting your Gradle caches. They usually reside in the .gradle/caches directory in your home directory.
