Permission being denied by IntelliJ?

Answered

Hi,

IntelliJ tried to refresh my gradle project after importing, and this error is shown.

```
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not create service of type ScriptPluginFactory using BuildScopeServices.createScriptPluginFactory().
> Could not create service of type FileHasher using BuildSessionScopeServices.createFileSnapshotter().

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 1s
/Users/chandana.bhat@in.ibm.com/Documents/Programming/Java/FRC/Basebot-Code/.gradle/4.9/fileHashes/fileHashes.lock (Permission denied)
```

However, doing ```sudo gradle build``` in the root directory of the project builds successfully. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Have you checked that the user who runs IDE has r/w permissions to the directory and the files?

Also some other process may hold a lock on the file leading to this error when IDE tries to build. Does build from command line without sudo work?

Try also restarting the PC.
