Come fare il downgrade di gradle su mac

Non c’è che dire avere una versione sbagliata di gradle può diventare un grave problema, ma soprattutto installare l’ultima versione e scoprire che non funziona più nulla e non sapere come fare il downgrade è ancora peggio. Visto che mi è successo ed ho impiegato un bel pò di ore per risolvere il problema, ho deciso di fare questo post con la speranza che possa esservi utile e non farvi perdere ulteriore tempo.

Bene, detto ciò la prima cosa da fare e quella di rimuovere il riferimento al gradle installato lanciando il seguente comando:

brew unlink gradle

Dopo di che sarà sufficiente lanciare il comando di installazione sostituendo <COMMIT> con il corrispondente id della versione di interesse

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/<COMMIT>/Formula/gradle.rb

E’ possibile verificare tutti i commit sul link: https://gist.github.com/dimshik100/af28c2146651cae9aa9df94b7144f060, ma per comodità lascio la lista di seguito:
