gdx-setup in cli mode is trying to generate project using an incompatible Gradle version and fails. It succeds in GUI mode.

To summarize: you must include --excludeModules "ios;iosmoe" as even with excluded ios it will still want iosmoe that is needed only for ios. Quotes are necessary at least on Linux to prevent ; from terminating the command.

BUILD FAILED in 4s

From looking at https://discuss.gradle.org/t/5-1-1-setbootclasspath-issue/30169 it seems to be caused by using an incompatible Gradle as in 5+ setBootClasspath is gone

Curiously, I run gdx setup jar in GUI mode previously and I hit much more smaller bug (#5916)

I now rerun it in the GUI mode

and at least general generation worked. I suspect that somehow parameters are different but I am missing what is changed.

GUI generated repo is at https://github.com/matkoniecz/libgdx-fuller-crash-without-crash-because-GUI

Reproduction steps/code

java -jar gdx-setup.jar --dir libgdxtest --name drop --package com.badlogic.drop --mainClass Drop --sdkLocation /home/mateusz/Android/Sdk --excludeModules ios

Version of LibGDX and/or relevant dependencies

https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Project-Setup-Gradle appears to generate projects with LibGDX 1.9.10 (gdxVersion = '1.9.10')

This is a legitimate bug in gdx-setup, but it’s easy enough to work around. You exclude ios already from the generated project, but for some reason MOE (an outdated alternative to the working ios platform) is still enabled by default for command line builds only. It’s enabled, but as you have seen, it’s broken. Can you try this, maybe? You may need to change the dir to an empty one.

java -jar gdx-setup.jar --dir libgdxtest --name drop --package com.badlogic.drop --mainClass Drop --sdkLocation /home/mateusz/Android/Sdk --excludeModules ios;iosmoe

All I added was ;iosmoe at the end.

Yes we should probably just remove moe at this point. But if people are still somehow using it, then there hsould be an option to target it. @shatterblast you are using moe? If so, how? With what versions? Last time I checked support was completely dropped and this was no longer functioning with latest ios and IDEs.
