 Description   

Here is my build.gradle:

repositories {
}

{ And then when I run gradle, it report error as: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file '/v/arena/gradle/bug/wierd_line_num/trunk/src/build.gradle' line: 119 * What went wrong: Could not compile build file '/v/arena/gradle/bug/wierd_line_num/trunk/src/build.gradle'. > startup failed: build file '/v/arena/gradle/bug/wierd_line_num/trunk/src/build.gradle': 119: expecting '}

', found '' @ line 119, column 1.
1 error

  • Try:
    Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

It report the error is on line #119, which is apparently wrong, as my build.gradle has only 4 lines of code, I am using gradle (1.10)

Any idea?

Thanks.

Is there some way to actually get the actual line number? I can't find my syntax error.
