Spring-boot plugin still broken in 3.0 M2

Old Forum Archive Bugs

Bails out with the following stack trace at “apply plugin: ‘spring-boot’” with spring-boot 1.3.5.

My two other projects that aren’t using the above plugin work fine.

spring-boot projects work OK for me when I’m using a current snapshot of the dependency-management-plugin. I guess the issue will probably not be fixed by a future version of gradle-3.0. You’ll have to use the upcoming version 0.6.0 of the plugin. See GRADLE-3482 for details.

I use the dependency-management-plugin transitively via 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.5.RELEASE' and won’t manually override its dependencies.

I mainly wanted to ensure that this broken compatibility in what I’d consider a very critical plugin is a known issue so it gets addressed in an updated version of either Gradle 3.0, spring-boot or both.

But thanks anyway for your suggestion/workaround. Appreciated!

Minimal workaround:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // [your other repos]
        
        // below is TEMPORARY! Remove while upgrading spring-boot to 1.4.0!
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/plugins-snapshot" }
        // above is TEMPORARY! Remove while upgrading spring-boot to 1.4.0!
    }

    dependencies {
        // [your other build dependencies]

        // below is TEMPORARY! Remove while upgrading spring-boot to 1.4.0!
        classpath 'io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:0.6.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT'
        // above is TEMPORARY! Remove while upgrading spring-boot to 1.4.0!
    }
}

See dependency-management-plugin issues #87.

I use it transitively, too. For me, overriding the version within the build.gradle works perfectly. Now there is even a stable version of the dependeny plugin. You may take a look here.
