Failed to exec spawn helper – Docker

When running docker-compose up I get:

------
executor failed running [/bin/sh -c gradle shadowJar]: exit code: 1
ERROR: Service 'slack_bot' failed to build : Build failed

Then I tried running Gradle with --info and it mentions an exception in Gradle:

#11 4.123 An attempt to start the daemon took 0.107 secs.
#11 4.144 
#11 4.144 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
#11 4.145 
#11 4.145 * What went wrong:
#11 4.146 A problem occurred starting process 'Gradle build daemon'

Then I run it with --stacktrace to get the exception details:

#11 4.163 Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
#11 4.407 
#11 4.407 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

ERROR: Service 'slack_bot' failed to build : Build failed

I don’t know what else to try and the error details are not clear. Am I using the correct images?

Dockerfile:

FROM gradle:7.4.2-jdk17 as build
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN gradle shadowJar

FROM adoptopenjdk:latest
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY --from=build /usr/src/app/build/libs ./

docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.8"
services:
  slack_bot:
    container_name: slack_bot

    environment:
      PORT: 8000
    command: java -jar build/libs/slack-bot-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

Using JDK11:

FROM gradle:7.4.2-jdk11 as build
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .
RUN gradle shadowJar --info

FROM adoptopenjdk:latest
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

    It doesn’t fail to build – it already fails the start the Gradle daemon …
    This is the jspawnhelper at fault; it possibly might lack x permission:

    RUN chmod +x $JAVA_HOME/lib/jspawnhelper
RUN gradle :shadowJar

    • Or disable the Gradle daemon altogether; with one-shot builds it doesn’t make a difference.

    • Or try -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=vfork?

    Gradle 7.4.2 is broken. You should downgrade to 7.4.1

    The error is resolved by adding the below flag to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | * build process VM options text field in Intellij

    -Djdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism=vfork
