I am trying to upgrade an existing project that was built with Gradle 0.5.2
to 0.6.1. Our install of 0.5.2 is using the embedded groovy jar from version
1.6.2 instead of the one it was distributed with to get a few more useful
functions. It was running fine. I tried upgrading and ran into major issues.
I traced these down and set up a simple build.gradle script on a test
project with just one line:
usePlugin('java')
I get the following output from gradle:
Build failed with an exception.
Run with -s or -d option to get more details. Run with -f option to get the
full (very verbose) stacktrace.
Build file '/home/gshafranovich/eclipse-workspaces/test/build/build.gradle'
line: 1
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'build'.
Cause:
org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedClass.getCachedClass()Ljava/lang/Class;
BUILD FAILED
I think this is because the return type of CachedClass.getCachedClass() has
changed from java.lang.Class to CachedClass in groovy 1.6.2.
I am going to hold off on upgrading until Gradle would be compatible with a
later version of groovy. Does anyone have any suggestions on whether my
assumption are correct or not?
