It would add a great deal of readability to apply preformatting formatting to your question. Please do that now: - Click the edit button in the post toolbar - With your mouse, select the text that is one continuous log - Click the `` code button in the editor toolbar Repeat if you have several blocks of logs/code in a single post. ---

> [@swatisoni-ewebcore](#): > > gradle dependencies I see you are getting this error when you execute gradle dependencies. Could you please try ./gradlew dependencies instead and see what happens?

Thanks Mayu. distributionUrl is same as suggested (gradle-2.10-all.zip) . I tried to fix it up to 50 times by config.yml but i don’t know what is ./gradlew and how i can run by it in CircleCI. Please let me know how can i fix it by ./gradlew? Thank you so much Mayu! slight\_smile: ---

@swatisoni-ewebcore: please learn to use Markdown, it is the standard way of showing formatted text-based content. PDFs are not a good way to do this, as they collapse spaces when using the clipboard. ---
