Hello, I have been trying to build my gradle project and I have been seeing this error for the past few days. My project used to build properly but now just a few days ago I started seeing this error. What can it possibly mean and what can I do to fix it?

Is this still the recommended approach for caching various gradle artifacts? https://cookbook.gradle.org/ci/gitlab-ci/#enable-caching

build-gradle-project:
  # …existing configuration…

  variables:
    GRADLE_USER_HOME: $CI_PROJECT_DIR/.gradle

  cache:
    paths:
      - .gradle/wrapper

Hi, I've been having issues upgrading junit to version 5.12.0. After some googling found this saying that you should have a explicit dependency to

junit-platform-launcher

. That guide also points to the Gradle 8 upgrade guide, and it says to fix it you should have the following in your dependencies:

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:5.9.2'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher'
}

I was surprised to see that it worked as I'm not sure how Gradle resolves the version for the

junit-platform-launcher

. I thought you needed a platform dependency to leave versions out. How is the version resolve in that case? And is it actually a good practice?

What's the difference between

maven.mavenContent.includeGroupAndSubgroups

vs

exclusiveContent.filter

in RepositoryHandler/repositories?

I am struggling to import my Github project (Forge Minecraft Modding) into InteliJ IDEA. When I try to run gradle it says

Plugin [id: 'org.parchmentmc.librarian.forgegradle', version: '1.+'] was not found in any of the following sources:

although I have settings.gradle, gradle.properties and relevant files, or so I think. I've been at this for a long while so I really need to fix this.

Hello, Context: I have project which produce multiple jar and finally a jar with a mainClass, I use the application plugin to install it locally and test it. I publish all this jar on a maven repository. My interrogation: What is the "standard" gradle way for another project to get the equivalent of the result of the application plugin(all jar in a single place and a script to launch it)? I see that I can publish the zip distribution(https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html#ex-adding-distribution-archives-to-a-maven-publication) but it's mean duplicate all the jar on your maven repo and I don't know how to tell gradle to download and install it after. Thanks for reading me and sorry for the poor English level.

In my multi-project codebase, we used to have this piece of code to apply some common dependencies which were needed by all projects

private fun Project.configureCommonDependencies(libs: LibrariesForLibs) {
  dependencies {
    val koinBom = libs.koin.bom
    add("implementation", platform(koinBom))
    add("implementation", project(":logging-public")) ...
    }
  }
}

Which lives in a convention plugin which we apply to all of our projects. Now, we are switching some of these projects to be Kotlin Multiplatform projects. The problem arises that we can no longer just do

add("implementation", ...

as it does not exist. Using the kotlin DSL it instead then looks something like

kotlin {
  sourceSets {
    commonMain.dependencies {
      implementation(...)
    }
  }
}

Is there some way for me to still rating this piece of code in this common place in my convention plugin, and conditionally do one or the other thing, depending on if the project in which it is being applied to is multiplatform or not? And if yes, how would the syntax have to look for that? I am having a bit of a hard time figuring this out myself to be honest

I can't get Downloaded Sources in IntelliJ working for composite builds, When having a normal Gradle project IntelliJ automatically downloads the sources of external dependencies, but in a composite build project this fails. It complains that the sources can not be downloaded. In the IDE I can click 'Choose Sources' and the sources are there in my user

.gradle

directory and selecting them does nothing. I tried looking in IntelliJ logging, but it doesn't generate any logging when this triggers. Is this a known issue? I reduced it to a minimal reproducer: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-374157/Download-Sources-not-working-for-Composite-Builds

What's the purpose of adding an artifact to a dependency? I couldn't find a clear explanation. It doesn't seem to do anything. Setting the URL also seems strange. I couldn't find see any usage of

DependencyArtifact#getUrl

, except in tests. It doesn't look like the value is ever read.

dependencies {
  "fooConf"("blah:blah:1.2.3") {
    artifact {
      url = "<https://example.com/bar.zip>"
    }
  }
}

Hi all! I'm working on an ancient homework assignment for a test automation course (thanks Coursera) and for some reason, my Eclipse IDE is completely unable to access any respository. Specifically I'm trying to get junit 4.13.2 from MavenCentral. Funny thing is, if I click on the url in the error saying that the file is not found in my browser, the pom file loads up as it's supposed to! So I'm scratching my head as obviously the url is not blocked on my browser. I do have a software firewall installed. I tried disabling it completely and still, Eclipse refuses to find the proper file in the Maven central repository. I'm at my wits end on this lol. Has this ever been a thing for anyone? And is there a way to fix it? Here's my build.gradle:

/*
 * Gradle build file.
 */

apply plugin: 'java'

// Make sure we are using Java 8.
if(JavaVersion.current() != JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8)
    throw new GradleException("This project requires Java 8, but it's running on "+JavaVersion.current())

sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8


repositories {
    //jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    // Use JUnit test framework
	testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
}

And here's the error I'm getting:

> Could not resolve junit:junit:4.13.2.
      > Could not get resource '<https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.13.2/junit-4.13.2.pom>'.
         > org.apache.http.ssl.SSLInitializationException: NONE (The system cannot find the file specified)

Reaching out here to ask if anyone knows about the ins-and-outs of running gradle inside a docker container in build CI. It's a topic that's been covered a dozen times around stack overflow and the forums but never seems to have a satisfying answer (either no responses, or "turn off parallel builds" and similar non-solutions, or the threads are super out of date). It seems that something weird happens with memory management when running in a docker environment. On local developer machines (macbook with 18gb memory) a gradle build on a large project with

-Xmx4g

setting on the gradle daemon tends to only use about 5gb max between the main daemon process and all child processes. Looking at a build scan it appears to rarely reach that amount and spends most of the build using around 2-4gb of memory. Running htop on the macbook while the build runs shows that the total used memory on the machine (including all other apps, browser, slack, etc) hovers stably around 5-7gb. Meanwhile if I run exactly the same build, with exactly the same gradle properties (specifying the same number of max workers) inside a docker image on the same macbook (docker configured with 10gb max memory), all of a sudden that build continues to eat more and more memory, eventually blowing past 8-9gb and eventually using all 10gb available resulting the daemon being killed in the background. I'm not sure what to make of it. It implies there's something going on either in the OS (ubuntu vs macOS) or in docker, or the JVM, or in gradle itself. I've tried dozens of different combinations of JVM options and flags, I'm running Java 21 for the build toolchain on top of a Java 23 installation so flags like

UseContainerSupport

should be on by default. I've toyed with ensuring that

MaxMetaspace

is set when overriding

org.gradle.jvmargs

, I've set Java options globally for all java instances to try to constrain memory of child processes, etc. None of it has seemed to have any effect.

Hi there, in Android studio I have project structure like this StudioProjects/ ├── kmm-pw-pitara/ │ ├── settings.gradle[.kts] │ └── build.gradle[.kts] └── penpencil/ ├── settings.gradle[.kts] └── ai/ └── ai-mentor-kmp/ └── build.gradle.kts How can I access ai/ai-mentor-kmp inside kmp-pw-pitara/build.gradle.kts ?

Hey everyone, I’m currently working with a Gradle Kotlin project using the

buildSrc

directory to manage my conventions centrally. The project is structured as follows:

buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

This file defines the plugin dependencies and versions, for example:

val kotlinVersion = "2.0.21"

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
}

repositories {
    gradlePluginPortal()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:3.3.11")
    runtimeOnly("io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:1.1.7")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.spring:org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.spring.gradle.plugin:$kotlinVersion")
    implementation("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-gradle-plugin:1.23.8")
    implementation(platform("com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:2.19.0"))
}

buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/standard-convention.kts

This file contains standard configurations that I use as plugins across my modules or submodules. Here is an excerpt:

import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.dsl.JvmTarget
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinJvmCompile

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt")
}

group = "com.example"
version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

detekt {
    config.setFrom("${rootProject.projectDir}/buildSrc/src/main/resources/detekt-config.yml")
    buildUponDefaultConfig = true
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
    detektPlugins("io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt:detekt-formatting:1.23.8")

    testImplementation(platform("org.junit:junit-bom:5.12.2"))
    testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter")
    testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher")
}

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_21
}

tasks.withType<KotlinJvmCompile>().configureEach {
    compilerOptions {
        jvmTarget.set(JvmTarget.JVM_21)
        freeCompilerArgs.add("-Xjsr305=strict")
    }
}

tasks.test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

Besides this, I also have other convention plugins that I use across different modules. I would now like to move my self-defined plugins into a separate project and publish them to a Git repository (or Maven repository), so that I can pull them as external dependencies into the modules that need them. Is there a recommended approach for this? Essentially, I want to decouple my plugins from

buildSrc

and manage them as independent, reusable Gradle plugins that can be versioned and shared across multiple projects. Thanks

Wondering if anyone can enlighten me to what might be causing an issue with a gradle plugin that started failing to compile when updating the KSP plugin.

e: file:[....]/ScreenshotPlugin.kt:62:69 None of the following functions can be called with the arguments supplied: 	
public constructor File(p0: File!, p1: String!) defined in java.io.File	
private constructor File(p0: String!, p1: File!) defined in java.io.File	
private constructor File(p0: String!, p1: Int) defined in java.io.File	
public constructor File(p0: String!, p1: String!) defined in java.io.File

change is literally just the ksp dep and about as minimal as possible. both versions have no dependencies so not sure if I should be more suspect of some gradle behavior I don't understand or if I should report this to the KSP project.

I'm getting quite frustrated trying to make a convention plugin for my project. I currently have a root project that is doing configuration via a

subprojects

block, which is apparently not the recommended way. So instead I am using an included build

build-logic

project: `settings.gradle`:

pluginManagement {
    includeBuild('build-logic')
}
plugins {
    id 'org.gradle.toolchains.foojay-resolver-convention' version '0.7.0'
}
rootProject.name = 'myproject'
include 'core'
include 'libraryA'
include 'libraryB'

`build-logic/build.gradle`:

plugins {
  id 'groovy-gradle-plugin
}

with a single source file `src/main/groovy/project-conventions.gradle`:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'jacoco'
    id 'maven-publish'

    // version catalog references to plugins don't work from a convention plugin
    // alias(libs.plugins.shadow)
    // alias(libs.plugins.cyclonedx)
    // alias(libs.plugins.spotless)
}

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(21)
    }
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
    maven {
        url = "<https://redisson.pro/repo/>"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.myproject.somelibrary)

    implementation(libs.bundles.log4j)

    testImplementation "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api"
    testImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-core"
    testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine"
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
    finalizedBy jacocoTestReport
}

jacocoTestReport {
    dependsOn tasks.withType(Test) // tests are required to run before generating the report
    reports {
        xml.required = true
        html.required = true
    }
}

I then have other sub projects try to reference this plugin: `core/build.gradle`:

plugins.apply 'project-conventions'

also tried:

plugins {
  id 'project-conventions'
}

but this doesn't work. I get an error:

❯ gradle build

What have I messed up?

Hi - I’ve got myself in a dependency tangle but I don’t understand what exactly’s gone wrong, hoping somebody will be able to point me in the right direction please? I’m getting this warning from gradle for a large number of dependencies in my builds:

The dependency resolution engine wasn't able to find a version of module org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web which satisfied all requirements bec
ause the graph wasn't stable enough. The highest version was selected in order to stabilize selection.

I’ve reproduced this with a minimal setup in gradle 8.14.2, with a Java project:

dependencies {
  implementation platform("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:3.4.0")
  implementation platform("com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:2.18.0")

  api "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web"

  api project(":submodule")
}

where the dependencies of submodule are simply:

dependencies {
  api "com.fasterxml.jackson:jackson-bom:2.18.0"
}

The important features appear to be: • The explict

api

dependency on spring-boot-starter-web must be lower than the spring boot BOM pulls in (or absent). If I pull in a version >= the BOM version (3.4.0) then no warning appears. • Same for the jackson-bom dependency, this must be < the jackson-bom version that spring boot pulls in (2.18.1). • To get the warning - BOTH the

api

dependency on jackson-bom AND the transitive BOM dependency through

submodule

have to be lower than spring boot’s version. If either of them pulls in a >= version then the warning disappears. It’s a convoluted scenario and easily fixable - in reality this is a large mesh of enterprise libraries so I’m trying to understand exactly what’s going on here so I can figure out how best to sort it out long term. My specific questions are: 1. I can see how resolution of jackson-bom could be complicated (also seeing warnings for this), but I don’t understand how this affects spring-boot-starter-web. That seems like a completely unrelated part of the dependency tree - is whatever’s gone wrong with jackson simply causing havoc for the whole resolution process? 2. Although I know I’m not using the bom correctly, I don’t actually see why this is causing a problem. Shouldn’t the dependency graph still be an easy conflict resolution between versions 2.18.0 and 2.18.1? spring-boot-starter-web does also depend transitively on jackson-bom, which I’m sure must have something to do with it. Can anyone see where I’m getting confused please? Full project tarball attached.

Hi, Is it possible to find out which files in the output of a sourceSet are stale, so they can be ignored or deleted? After switching branches and compiling, the class files from the old branch are still there, even if the source is not, and they are added to the jar, if forbidden-apis does not choke on the file. Incremental compile does not seem to make a difference, forcing

classes

to run does not cause it to remove the stale class in either case.

Is there any glaring reason as to why gradle cache is disabled by default? Seems like every project would benefit from it (just like gradle daemon)... no?

Is it possible to export build scan data from develocity so I can share it with another organization?

Can't download any Gradle version. Is it GitHub's issue? Tried directly from GitHub releases: https://github.com/gradle/gradle-distributions/releases/download/v8.14.2/gradle-8.14.2-bin.zip gives me the sad octopus with 500 😞 Update: yes, it probably was related to the GitHub's downtime. It's back to normal.

Yeah, I guess so: https://www.githubstatus.com/

Is there any guidance on whether included projects used for build-logic should include the gradle wrapper?

I've got an intermittent issue that's been hitting an android app while on CI, not locally (new employee!). There's only two of us, and the person that did the initial build setup is long gone. The intermittent issue is > The message received from the daemon indicates that the daemon has disappeared After researching it seems like it could be because of

org.gradle.jvmargs

. The project isn't really that big, but it does use buildSrc (😢), some code-gen + ksp and a bunch of modules. I think this app could probably just be one single module because the app really isn't that involved (but I can't change that now) jvmargs is set to

-Xmx12g -Xms4g -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=2g -XX+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

The rest of the gradle.properties is pretty basic

android.useAndroidX=true

kotlin.code.style=official

kotlin.daemon.jvmargs-Xmx4g

Doesn't fail locally on my 16GB machine (but it is slow as heck), but fails on CI on a 16GB machine.

Is there a project isolation compatible way to specify that all subprojects should have a specific plugin applied? My use case is that I have a convention plugin that I want applied to all subprojects, but I don't want to have to remember to add it for any new subproject.

Putting this here to be shot at... I have tasks that generate sources in a multi-project build. Interested in thoughts on this structure: (code in 🧵)

Hi, does someone know how can I set a gradle property using the ProjectBuilder API? I have a grade plugin and I want to test what happend when I have ksp2 active or not using

ksp.useKSP2

. (Yes, I'm also testing against an old version of ksp because reasons)

anyone know how to diagnose “downgrades” in dependency resolution? I have this dep that’s being

Forced

down from 2.38.0 to 2.36.0 (as per a build scan) and I don’t know why. Is there a way to see more info about why it is forced? I can’t see any usages of

resolutionStrategy.force

in any of the buildscripts or plugins at least.

I'm getting a bit frustrated with getting the publication of a version-catalog for my multi-module project working. My multi-project is already published to Maven Central, and I just want to additionally publish a version catalog for easier consumption by users. At first I though each project can just "opt-in" to be part of the version-catalog, but after reading the docs it seems that I need to create a new subproject that is exclusively responsible for publishing the version-catalog. In that new project, I need to manually list all libraries via a DSL. So the 1M-question is: How can I add all libraries of my multi-project there without hard-coding everything? If I iterate over subprojects, I fear that I'm again violating some Gradle best-practices about decoupling projects 😬
