could not find method compile() for arguments
gradle
Solution
The build script is mixing up `buildscript` dependencies (i.e.
- dependencies of the build itself; typically this means Gradle plugins
- with regular dependencies (i.e. dependencies of the code to be compiled/run).
2 needs to go into `dependencies { ... }`, not into `buildscript { dependencies { ... } }`.
Everything but the `classpath` dependencies are regular dependencies.
Problem
I'm trying to execute some `.sql` scripts and then deploy web app using `gradle tomcat plugin`. But when I make any attempt to run `gradle` I've got an error My `buildscript` looks like this ``` buildscript { //repository location repositories { mavenCentral() jcenter() } //dependencies //did not divide them into runtime&compile dependencies { //aspectJ dependencies compile 'org.aspectj:aspectjlib:1.6.2' compile 'org.aspectj:aspectjrt:1.7.4' compile 'org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:1.7.4' //servlet compile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1' //jdbc postresql compile 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.2-1004-jdbc4' //commons dbcp compile 'commons-dbcp:commons-dbcp:1.2.2' //spring & spring MVC dependencies compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:' + spring_version compile 'org.springframework:spring-web:' + spring_version compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:' + spring_version compile 'org.springframework:spring-jdbc:' + spring_version compile 'org.springframework:spring-aspects:' + spring_version //spring security compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-core:' + spring_security_version compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:' + spring_security_version compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-config:' + spring_security_version //JSTL compile 'jstl:jstl:1.2' //slf4j-log4j compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.0' compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.0' compile 'log4j:log4j:1.2.17' //mybatis compile 'org.mybatis:mybatis:3.2.4' compile 'org.mybatis:mybatis-spring:1.2.2' //gson compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4' //validation jsr303 compile 'javax.validation:validation-api:1.0.0.GA' //junit4(test?) compile 'junit:junit:4.11' //spring test(test?) compile 'org.springframework:spring-test:' + spring_version //java mail compile 'javax.mail:mail:1.4' //tomcat plugin def tomcatVersion = '7.0.53' tomcat "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core:${tomcatVersion}", "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-logging-juli:${tomcatVersion}" tomcat("org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-jasper:${tomcatVersion}") { exclude group: 'org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler', module: 'ecj' } //additional classpath classpath 'org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-tomcat-plugin:1.2.3' classpath 'org.postgresql:postgresql:9.2-1004-jdbc4' } } ``` In `build.gradle` there are also several tasks and several `apply plugin`. What's the problem? Full stack trace My `build.gradle` is in a project folder.
