How to Fix Gradle Wrapper Permission Denied Error

I am getting this “gradlew permission denied” error after pushing my code to my GitLab repository. The build is not able to continue because the gradle wrapper is not able to run.

What is causing this and how to fix it?

ANSWER

From a local terminal/command line, use the Git command that follows to fix this issue:

git update-index --chmod=+x gradlew

Continue to commit the modifications to the gradlew file.

Push the changes to your Git repository.
