I have a Spring Gradle project. I'm trying to make a build using gradle build command. But getting below error :

* Where:
Build file 'F:\MyProjectName\build.gradle' line: 2

An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.springframework.boot', version: '2.2.2.RELEASE']
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'org.springframework.boot']
   > Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 4.10 or later. The current version is Gradle 4.1

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

What is with this link: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip ? – Orthoepy

This is my default gradle-wrapper.properties file and distributionUrl – Berry

Answer 1

If you're using the command gradle build, then you're not using the wrapper, and thus not using the version of gradle configured in the wrapper properties. You're using the global gradle version installed on your machine.

To use the gradle wrapper, use

./gradlew build

or, on Windows

.\gradlew.bat build

in your project root folder.

That's a completely different issue. Remove your jar { enabled true } section. – Basle

Solved my issue using ./gradlew bootJar :) – Berry

@Berry you should then accept this answer, which is THE good answer ;) – Petta

Answer 2

1. Open File gradle-wrapper.properties
2. You will find distributionUrl with value something like distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-bin.zip
3. Change the gradle version to greater than 4.10 , as I have 5.6.2

Note, this will upgrade the locally scoped gradle version. (As opposed to the system wide gradle install) You will have to use the gradlew(rapper) to invoke.

For example (on linux based)

./gradlew build

I am guessing it would be similar on windows

.\gradlew.bat build

You CANNOT use

gradle build

because that will call the machine-scoped version (which will be the old version probably)

Full locally scoped output below:

./gradlew  build

Welcome to Gradle 5.6.2!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Incremental Groovy compilation
 - Groovy compile avoidance
 - Test fixtures for Java projects
 - Manage plugin versions via settings script

Answer 3

In my case, the cause was an old settings.gradle residing in the project's completely unrelated parent(!) directory.

Answer 4

In my case some other project in the same workspace ".settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs" file is having below property

gradle.user.home=C\:/Gradle/gradle-6.7/bin(old version)

replaced with the following:

gradle.user.home=C\:/Gradle/gradle-7.3.2/bin(new version)

Answer 5

Gradle 5.6.3 support the spring boot version till 2.4.13

Gradle Spring Boot(max version suported) 5.6.3 2.4.13
