Cannot seem to be able to use snapshot versions of pitest with plugin version 0.33 about gradle-pitest-plugin

[szpak]

Regarding missing dependency as a workaround you have to add snapshot repository also to the normal (buildscript) repositories section. I had problem with adding additional configuration to buildscript and pitest configuration is added as a project configuration (which shouldn't be a problem as this configuration is not connected to compile or testCompile dependencies). I have to check out if this can be changed.

NPE can be somehow misleading, but the standard error message is still fine:

Could not resolve org.pitest:pitest-command-line:0.34-SNAPSHOT.

Nevertheless I reported the issue.

Unfortunately with PIT 0.34-SNAPSHOT the mutation testing still doesn't work and fails with exceptions like below:

Are you able to successfully run mutation testing with PIT 0.34-SNAPSHOT using a command line tool?

[fge]

As you suggested, I tried and added the maven URL to repositories.

It worked! Mutation testing runs fine. And that is unlike you... I don't understand why you have this failure.

Note that I have reverted to (gradle) 1.11, I'll now try with 1.12.

[fge]

Works with 1.12 now; anyway, you can consider this issue closed since I now have a working solution!

[szpak]

I moved pitest dependencies to builscript scope. It should be enough to provide snapshot repository in buildscript section only.
That change can be tested with gradle-pitest-plugin-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT and will be included in upcoming version 1.0.0.
