Build gradle failed: can not identify path JDK, CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long

Question

Im using Gradle to build Spring Boot project. I have added environment variable for JDK Java. And then I set this JDK path in gradle.properties. When I perform to build with: gradle myProject:bootRun, I received an exception of JDK path wrong.

My gradle.properties:

jsonPathVersion=2.4.1
jsonPathAssertVersion=2.0.0
jqueryVersion=2.1.4
bootstrapVersion=3.3.4
bootswatchVersion=3.3.4+1
jqueryUiVersion=1.11.4
jqueryThemesVersion=1.11.4

# Location of local JDK for Eclipse
org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_91

This is exception when excute gradle.properties: (UPDATED)

  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':mvc:bootRun'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\
bin\java.exe''

Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':mvc:bootRun'.

Although I installed and set jdk path at: C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_91. How Can I fix this exception ? Thank so much !

Answer 1

Remove the leading slash:

org.gradle.java.home=/C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_91

to:

org.gradle.java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_91
