Why do I get a CannotLocateLocalMavenRepositoryException?

guillot_nicolas · April 13, 2012, 6:00pm

I’m a new gradle user, so it may be a configuration issue.

I install gradle and can see the following:

$ gradle -v

------------------------------------------------------------ Gradle 1.0-rc-1 ------------------------------------------------------------

Gradle build time: mercredi 11 avril 2012 11 h 13 UTC Groovy: 1.8.6 Ant: Apache Ant™ version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010 Ivy: 2.2.0 JVM: 1.6.0_31 (Apple Inc. 20.6-b01-415) OS: Mac OS X 10.7.3 x86_64

My project structure looks like: $ ls -R build.gradle

So I only have the gradle configuration file:

$ cat build.gradle

apply plugin: ‘idea’ apply plugin: ‘groovy’

repositories {

mavenCentral() }

dependencies {

groovy group: ‘org.codehaus.groovy’, name: ‘groovy’, version: ‘1.8.6’ }

But when I execute gradle compile I obtains some exceptions:

$ gradle compile

What’s wrong?

Peter_Niederwieser · April 13, 2012, 8:38pm

There’s likely a syntax error in your settings.xml, but something went wrong when you posted it, so I can’t tell.

guillot_nicolas · April 13, 2012, 8:41pm

Yes you are right, I’ve forgotten markdown balises:

A Maven settings.xml can’t have a top-level ‘repositories’ element. See http://maven.apache.org/settings.html.

guillot_nicolas · April 13, 2012, 10:07pm

Thanks a lot, you have right. I previously modify my settings for some tests and I read my file but not seeing this error… It’s time to take a break!
