Hi All,
I have strange issue with gradle. When I run my tests via IDE everything is working I have no errors, no compilation issues. However when I try to run gradlew test I have compilation error:
```gradle
SpringDatabaseConfig.java:34: error: cannot find symbol
lcemfb.setPackagesToScan("xxx");
^
symbol:
method setPackagesToScan(String)
location: variable lcemfb of type LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean
1 error
```
This is part of the class that is causing the issue
```gradle
public class SpringDatabaseConfig {
@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactoryBean() {
LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean lcemfb = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
lcemfb.setDataSource(dataSource());
lcemfb.setPackagesToScan("xxx");// here is compilation error
lcemfb.setPersistenceUnitName("TestPU");
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter va = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
lcemfb.setJpaVendorAdapter(va);
Properties ps = new Properties();
ps.put("hibernate.dialect", "org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect");
ps.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");
lcemfb.setJpaProperties(ps);
return lcemfb;
}
```
I don’t have any idea what can be wrong. This is my environment:
```gradle
Gradle 1.11

AFAIK, spring-jpa is an obsolete library. You probably want spring-orm:4.0.1-RELEASE: the spring jar containing JPA support for the version 4.0.1 of Spring (the same as the one you use for tests)

After changing this dependency indeed it work. Thanks for help. There is though still one thing that I don’t understand. Why IDE was able to compile the code but gradle wasn’t?
Best Regards

Because the IDE put the correct spring jar file before the incorrect one in the classpath, whereas Gradle put the incorrect one before the correct one.
