Gradle versioning with Git

I'm trying to create auto versioning in Gradle with Git, but I got some error when I'm building my app. My os is Windows.

def getVerName = { ->
    try {
        def stdout = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
        exec {
            commandLine "git", "describe", "--long"
            standardOutput = stdout
        }
        def result = stdout.toString()
        result = result.trim()
        return result
    } catch (ignored) {
        return null
    }
}

And here is stack trace of my exception

My GIT path: C:\Program Files\Git\cmd. Setting PATH in local variables doing nothing. From StackTrace you can see that Gradle is looking for git.exe in an app directory. How to change that path?

I had same issue, but at last I found that, the git path is not set in environment variables. I set below paths in PATH variable and it worked for me. C:\Program Files\Git\cmd C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe

If gradle is having trouble finding the location of git, I would try using the full path for git executable, or alternatively setting the workingDirvalue for Exec.

exec {
  workingDir '../path/to/git/bin'
  commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'git',...
}
