How to debug "Failed to open zip file" in Gradle?

Question

It shows the following error:

Error:Failed to open zip file.
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
1:build.gradle

For the first sync you need to have active internet connection, because Android Studio downloads required Gradle files. — Mustansir, Jun 18 '17 at 17:58

Hi I was facing the same issue. Few points you can verify :

It may be your internet connection issue so check your internet connection is working well.
This can be solve by Perform invalidate cache/ Restart
If above 2 options are not wokring you need to reload the the dependencies so perform rm -rf $HOME/.gradle/caches/ and ./gradlew build --refresh-dependencies.

Perform these both commands and reverify your gradle path. This may solve your problem.
