Hi ,

Appreciated for your help:

I encounter a problem, after upgrade gradle to 7.5. When I “Debug” run the application from IntelliJ IDE, I got the following:
10:37:59 main INFO c.w.h.i.ControlApplication Starting ControlApplication using Java 17.0.3 on WPC02FG109MD6Q with PID 11219 (/Users/jsow/rgt-ctrl/build/classes/groovy/main started by jsow in /Users/jsow/rgt-ctrl) 10:37:59 main INFO c.w.h.i.ControlApplication No active profile set, falling back to 1 default profile: “default” 10:38:01,615 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.access.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - debug attribute not set 10:38:01,616 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.StatusListenerAction - Added status listener of type [ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener] 10:38:01,617 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - About to instantiate appender of type [ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender] 10:38:01,617 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as [CONSOLE] 10:38:01,617 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Assuming default type [ch.qos.logback.access.PatternLayoutEncoder] for [encoder] property 10:38:01,623 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - About to instantiate appender of type [com.splunk.logging.HttpEventCollectorLogbackAppender] 10:38:01,626 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderAction - Naming appender as [splunk-cloud] 10:38:01,627 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.NestedComplexPropertyIA - Assuming default type [ch.qos.logback.access.PatternLayout] for [layout] property 10:38:01,635 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [CONSOLE] to classpath:logback-access.xml 10:38:01,635 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.action.AppenderRefAction - Attaching appender named [splunk-cloud] to classpath:logback-access.xml 10:38:01,635 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.access.joran.action.ConfigurationAction - End of configuration. 10:38:01,635 |-INFO in dev.akkinoc.spring.boot.logback.access.joran.LogbackAccessJoranConfigurator@1eb85a47 - Registering current configuration as safe fallback point

As you did not use code-tags (three backticks before and after your code) neither your given output, nor your build script is readable or copyable, please correct that.

But from a quick look at the error, I’d question whether that is a Gradle problem.
Gradle successfully starts your application which is also shown by log messages from your application being printed.
Then your application exists with code 1 and because of that the task fails.

Set a breakpoint right at the beginning of your application and step through it to find where it fails, or similar. Or raise your logging level to maybe get more information about what is going on. Again, I don’t think this is Gradle releated problem and thus also a bit misplaced in a Gradle forum. :slight_smile:
