I'm trying to migrate to Gradle a Java/Flex project, and I'm doing some basic tests first.

I'm trying to compile a Flex library but I'm getting this error:

Could not find property 'compile' on task set.
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not find property 'compile' on task set.
    at org.gradle.api.internal.AbstractDynamicObject.propertyMissingException(AbstractDynamicObject.java:43)

    at org.gradlefx.plugins.GradleFxPlugin.addDependsOnOtherProjects(GradleFxPlugin.groovy:121)

I've reduced the build.gradle to the following and I still get the same error:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath "org.gradlefx:gradlefx:0.5"
    }
}

apply plugin: "gradlefx"

flexHome = "/opt/flex_sdk"

I'm using Gradle version 1.0.

Any clue of what might be happening??? Thanks.

   Hi Roberto,

   Looks like you're missing the type property in your buildscript. This property has to be specified so GradleFx knows how to compile your project.
   You can choose between these three statements:
   type = 'swc'
   type = 'swf'
   type = 'air'

   I had it in the full script, but I hadn't quoted swc. I wrote type = swc... I'm new to Gradle/Groovy :-P

   Now it gives other errors... I'll try to solve them

   Thanks.
