I get this error when building my project (Android App) from Travis CI dashboard:

/home/travis/.travis/functions: line 104: ./gradlew: Permission denied

Here is my .travis.yml file:

language: android
sudo: required
jdk:
    - oraclejdk8
android:
  components:
    - tools # to get the new `repository-11.xml`
    - tools # see https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/6040#issuecomment-219367943)

        - ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT=5 # minutes
 licenses:
    - android-sdk-preview-license-.+
    - android-sdk-license-.+

I’ve tried to fix this by adding both adding - chmod +x gradlew to my travis.yml file and and doing git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew. This set the gradlew variable to 100755 blob xxxxxxxxxxxxx gradlew but my build is still failing.

Any suggestions?

Just try to add sudo before ./gradlew build connectedCheck
