4.2 Wrapper#distributionType not working

Help/Discuss
1

I am trying to use Gradle 4.2. I have the following Wrapper task:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.2'
    // grab sources, docs as well... better IDE integration
    distributionType = DistributionType.ALL
}

For sure, shell is picking up 4.2:

[sebersole@t460p java8]$ /home/sebersole/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.2-bin/cl9xe1l8k8ophj72k8rv6xbu7/gradle-4.2/bin/gradle --version

But I get:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':java8'.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Sorry, no idea why the code blocks are being render so fugly. That is not how I have it in the source

DistributionType is an inner class of Wrapper and it’s not a part of the default imports (but probably should be). Did this work at some point? I tried 3.2 and 4.x and see the same behavior.

There’s an implicit conversion between String -> enum types, so you can just do:

wrapper {
   distributionType = "ALL"
}

You can also import the type:

import org.gradle.api.tasks.wrapper.Wrapper.DistributionType

wrapper {
   distributionType = DistributionType.ALL
}

The String version worked for me. Thanks Sterling.

And no, I just saw this setting and it scratched an itch I have had for some time because IntelliJ at least does some extras when it sees the dist sources.
