java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory

Question

I am trying to deploy a maven web application on my local wildfly machine. But I am getting this error:

08:55:02,595 ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-55) UT005023: Exception handling request to /reg-server-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/v1/lineage: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.Unhandled

./gradlew assembleDebug --rerun-tasks

This command run in the command prompt will work if you are trying to connect multiple code bases using settings.gradle and get this error.

I prefer this answer as you can specify the modules failing on the CLI to build without having to invalidate your entire cache and restarting the IDE – Virco Dec 24 '20 at 19:04

This is certainly the better anwer. – Ivan Garza Mar 05 '21 at 23:05
sometimes this execution in terminal may failed because of other reasons. But the directory issue will sow – charitha amarasinghe Apr 29 '21 at 05:02

The following worked for me:

Go to Build.gradle(Module: app) and enable make databinding => enable :false.
Rebuild your project.

deletin .gradle folder and invalidating solved it as no one can disable databinding – Islam Assem Dec 19 '19 at 06:47

Even just deleting ".gradle" folder was enough for me. – Zakir Aug 22 '20 at 07:39

I had encountered the similar error in Android Studio. I just invalidated the cache and restarted the IDE. I suppose it has some thing to do with stale cache data which do not get updated during build processes. Thus, when you undo some changes which previously resulted in creation and deletion of packages and classes, like DataBinding classes in Android Studio. You are left with directories which do not exist and IDE never updated the caches to reflect the same in following builds. Thus, even if after cleaning and rebuilding, error persist. Hope this helps.

In Android Studio, goto FILE -> Invalidate Cache and Restart.

This didn't work for me. However, invoking Gradle from the command line with the `--rerun-tasks` flag _did_. I was also experiencing a databinding issue. – AutonomousApps Dec 27 '18 at 18:03
This didn't work for me as well, i am using data binding – scienticious Jan 17 '19 at 05:53

I had to delete the .gradle folder before invalidating as suggested in [this answer to similar question](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55116942/2811075) – Jan Málek Aug 28 '19 at 07:34

removing .gradle, invalidating the cache and restarting worked for me – FabioC Mar 15 '20 at 21:17
remove .gradle fixed it. – WindRider Nov 17 '20 at 11:45

It seems that at deploy time, the application is looking for a directory which has not been generated at package time thus the problem. When created in the target/lib then the deployment runs ok.
