No gradlew file is shown in my project window and in the terminal this seems to be confirmed with a 'No such file or directory' message on the ./gradlew command. Any ideas on why I have no gradlew file? Many thanks in advance.

However I cannot reproduce gradlew absence problem. I tried many times and it appears always.
Sometimes you have to wait some seconds before it appears, but anyway it appears.
And this time it does not matter what ticks you mark or not.
And Judging by your other post, you've got the problem resolved, right ?

15,003 PointsI was able to reproduce the gradlew absence problem. I am on a Window 10 PC not a MacOS, I have just started using IntelliJ and installed the Gradle Project, from course: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/adding-dependencies

Also note that there is NO $ sign in typing ./gradlew

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,175 PointsWell on Windows we should run gradlew.bat file I believe, if you want to run gradle wrapper from project directory.
Because ./gradlew file is a Bash script for Unix-like systems, i.e. Mac and Linux.
So you have to open 'Command Prompt', get to project directory, and run gradlew.bat.
I don't have windows unfortunately.
And as far as I know we run commands with dot slash like ./gradlew ONLY in Unix-Like systems, because
by default current directory is not in $PATH. (see this stack post for more if you want)
So all you have to do is in your command prompt run
C:\Users\Owner\IdeaProjects\reviews> gradlew.bat dependencies
Should work.
The other question would be : Do you see at all gradlew.bat file in explorer view in Intellijdea, like Craig does?
If you do, then file definitely should be there, and you have to post me a screenshot here of both your Command Prompt and Inteliijdea opened, to try to debug problem.

If you don't have homebrew:
xcode-select --install
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
Then you can use brew to install gradle and create the gradlew file:
brew install gradle
gradle test
gradle wrapper

9,447 PointsOn creating the project I definitely had 'use default gradle wrapper' selected but there was an additional tick box before it which does not show in the video - 'create separate module per source set' which was ticked by default so i left it ticked. Not sure if this is related.
