Sample project to reproduce https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/301064283
Sample project for reproducing an issue where Android Studio is not using local Gradle distribution, and instead spins out a new Gradle daemon using older version of Gradle.
Project setup:
- A simple blank Android app created via AS wizard
- Gradle wrapper is disabled
- Hermit is used to manage local Gradle distribution, checked in in
/binfolder
Issue: When opening the project, AS spins out a new Gradle 8.0 daemon instead of using local Gradle 8.3 distribution:
$ ps aux | grep -i gradle

In fact, as you can see from output, it also spins out an extra Gradle 8.3 daemon, not clear if this is related to the issue.
Issue happens reliably on Hedgehog and Giraffe, haven't tested other versions.
Steps to reproduce:
- Make sure no Gradle daemons are running locally:
ps aux | grep -i gradle - Install Hermit IJ plugin, this ensures that the project uses local Gradle distribution, can confirm that Android Studio picks it up appropriately in
Change Gradle JDK Locationsettings:
- Open the project in Android Studio
- Let it start syncing and build the app, see that it spins two Gradle daemons, one for 8.0 and one for 8.3:
ps aux | grep -i gradle.
