spring-guides / gs-gradle Goto Github PK

Would be good to update the version of Gradle from 6.X to 7.X (7.4.2) and java from 8 to 17.

The README suggest:

but i'm getting this error:

I'm using gradle in this version:

gradle tasks works only after build.gradle now.

The guide explains,

"The libs folder should contain a JAR file that is named after the project’s folder. If you cloned the project from GitHub, then the JAR file is likely named initial.jar. That’s probably not what you’d want it named, though."

But even though "that's probably not what [I] want to name it", the guide doesn't tell me how to change the name of the output jar!

This might leave newcomers to Java confused after finishing the guide.

When I run gradle build (or even gradle tasks / ./gradlew build) I get the error -

> Could not find method bootJar() for arguments ...

I noticed that a recent commit 015dbc1 replaced jar with bootJar, I don't understand why? I also noticed that CI server also shows the same error. Was this a typo?

1. The instructions reference a "very basic build.gradle file that only has one line in it:" but it shows the 27 line build.gradle file (final product of the exercise) in the sample text box. If you type it in as shown, then the exercise doesn't work as described. fixed via #12
2. When I ran "gradle build" for the first time, it didn't create any .class files or reports, just the .jar files. Not sure if this is my config issue or a change in behavior since the guide was written?

I am getting an error on running gradle tasks.

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Executing Gradle tasks as part of a build without a settings file is not supported. Make sure that you are executing Gradle from a directory within your Gradle project. Your project should have a 'settings.gradle(.kts)' file in the root directory.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 2s

I fixed this error adding a new file 'settings.gradle' as said in the output.

I am using gradle 7.2.
I am adding a fix on this pr.
Please point out if there is something off with this issue or some better way to solve this.

It should use Gradle 4.8.1 , JDK 10, and Joda time is no need since Java 8 Date time API

It would be nice to update the wrapper jar to the latest version.

492ad7a made some sweeping changes. Might need to revert them in this case.

I'm a newbie for gradle in spring.
Could you help me?

Section says:
"Starting simple, create a very basic build.gradle file that has only one line in it:"
... then lists 27 lines of Gradle config!

This is because it's just including the build.gradle from the "initial" project dir, which seems to have been updated to be the same as the "completed" version.

Seems to be related to Issue #8 ?
