Problem:
Despite having gradle installed; JAVA_HOME & ANDROID_HOME variables setup; gradle wrapper refuses to run on windows 10 Linux subsystem
Solution:
This is happening because of windows and linux handle end of line characters differently. Fix this by setting git’s global config on how to handle end of line chars at checkout. Open bash terminal and type in.
git config –global core.autocrlf false
After doing this, delete the old project folder and clone the project again. And voila ! Gradle wrapper now works !
