Hi

I am trying to generate my Flash builder project by running "gradle flashbuilder" but instead I get the following error

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/jhon/Projects/GradleTest/build.gradle' line: 13

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'GradleTest'.
> No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.external() is applicable for argument types: (java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: [[group:org.as3commons, name:as3commons-collections, ...]]

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 3.335 secs

### Here is my build file. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'org.gradlefx', name: 'gradlefx', version: '0.5'
    external group: 'org.as3commons', name: 'as3commons-collections', version: '1.1', ext: 'swc'
    external group: 'org.as3commons', name: 'as3commons-eventbus', version: '1.1', ext: 'swc'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'gradlefx'
apply plugin: 'flashbuilder'

type = 'swf'
srcDirs = ['src/']
resourceDirs = ['assets/']
testDirs = ['test']
testResourceDirs = ['test/testresources']

// Option necessary to embed configuration file to cuePoint class.
additionalCompilerOptions = [
'-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true'
]

mainClass = 'CallToAction.as'

dependencies {
    //merged files('lib/as3corelib.swc')
merged fileTree(dir: 'lib/', include: '*.swc')
}

   Hi Jhon,

   At first glance it looks like you've misplaced your as3commons dependencies. The buildscript.dependencies node should contain only those dependencies required to run the Gradle build script, i.e. just the GradleFx plugin artifact in this case.

   Those as3commons external dependencies should go into the project dependencies node together with the merged libraries you've already got there.

   Thanks for you prompt response. I moved as3commons to the project dependency node and now I am getting the following error :

   Thanks

   gradle compile
   :copyresources

   You didn't define any repositories where Gradle(Fx) is supposed to look for your dependencies. Usually you'd pull dependencies from Maven central:

   repositories {
       mavenCentral()
   }
   

   however I think as3commons is not available on Maven central. So you have three options:

   • find a public repository that has the as3commons artifact
   • publish the as3commons swc to a self-hosted repository
   • use a 'local' repository like you already did with your merged dependencies

   For option number 2 you'll have to add the URL to your self-hosted repo:

   repositories {
       mavenCentral()
       maven { url 'http://my/self-hosted/repo' }
   }
