Basic Spring Boot Project wont build

[eeedean]

I tried building a basic Spring Boot Application analogue to the example. However, the build of the gradle init script fails with an error for a couple dependencies:

A complete error log may be seen here.

To reproduce, you can clone my Git Repository and run nix build .#application -v in the project root.

Unfortunately I did not yet figure out, what's the reason for the failure.

Looking forward to your assistance and thanks for your time!

1. PLEASE DON'T DO TRAILING COMMAS IN PLAIN JSON it is not meant for it, parsers have issues with it, my parser has issues with it, i have not found an ultra-simple, similar performant solution (maybe I should use yaml parsers)

2. the gradle wrapper tries to fetch the latest version, so try to use the pkgs.gradle binary if possible

3. there should be no need for __noChroot = true;

4. I improved the syntax for custom repos, they now work the way you specified them

5. there is still something funky going on with the spring boot dependencies. I cannot query those that are not in the gradle verification metadata, yet i fear spring does exactly that. if that is the case I'll have to write a script to add those deps to the metadata afterwards.

OK, I got your project to build, I guess.

Its currently failing the tests with java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a valid Docker environment

I need to tweak the initscript a bit, since I only got it to work when I switched to manual maven repo generating and adding it to both settings.gradle and build.gradle

[eeedean]

there should be no need for __noChroot = true;

Yeah, that's not required anymore!

Its currently failing the tests with java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a valid Docker environment

The JUnit Tests contained require a Docker Environment. That's why I run them in the checks with a NixOS qemu-kvm machine, which has a Docker environment enabled. You can just skip tests for build time with -x test.

Can you go into detail, what changes you did to the project in order to get it to build?

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

1. remove trailing comma
2. replace __noChroot = true; with src = self;
3. buildInputs = [ pkgs.openjdk17 pkgs.gradle];
4. use gradle instead of ./gradlew

And the rest was on my side, so you need a quick nix flake update gradle-dot-nix
