  • Compiling Cascading: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

    Today I ran into a really stupid error message when I tried to recompile cascading-jdbc:

    Evaluating root project ‘cascading-jdbc’ using build file ‘/home/…/cascading-jdbc/build.gradle’.

    FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

    * Where:
    Build file ‘/home/…/cascading-jdbc/build.gradle’ line: 68

    * What went wrong:
    A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘cascading-jdbc’.
    > Could not find method create() for arguments [fatJarPrepareFiles, class eu.appsatori.gradle.fatjar.tasks.PrepareFiles] on task set.

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

    BUILD FAILED

    Total time: 5.355 secs

    Solution

    Check your gradle version … I ran a brand new Ubuntu with the shipped gradle version 1.4. Well the cascading readme states that gradle 1.8 is required … and it really is.
