ClassNotFoundException

[MarkusAmshove]

Hello!

I'm trying to work the first time with the msbuild plugin and I can't even get a simple buildscript running.

My build.gradle:

apply plugin:'msbuild'

buildscript { repositories { maven { url "http://artifacts/repos" } } dependencies { classpath 'com.ullink.gradle:gradle-msbuild-plugin:1.+' } }

msbuild {

solutionFile = 'ConsoleApplication1.sln'
configuration = 'Debug'
projectName = 'ConsoleApplication1'

}

It is downloading all dependencies, but I get the following error: A problem occured evaluating root project 'ConsoleApplication1'.

Could not create task of type 'Msbuild'.

And the stacktrace at the end: Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/jna/PointerType Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jna.PointerType

Gradle however downloaded the net.java.dev.jna:jna:3.5.0 before the build, so I don't know how to get it working.

Thanks!

Which gradle version are you using ?

[MarkusAmshove]

gradle--version

1.10

Groovy: 1.8.6 Ant: 1.9.2 Ivy 2.2.0 JVM: 1.7.0_25

Same build file (using mavenCentral() repo) works fine for me. Which gradle msbuild plugin version are you using ?

[MarkusAmshove]

I used the reference to 1.+. It downloaded 1.9. I can't the reference to mavenCentral(), because of proxy. But mavencentral (repo1) is included in my artifactory installation

Same here, can you dump your build log file (debug, -d) some place ?

I upgraded gradle to 1.11 btw :)

I fixed the "ClassNotFoundException" but now run into "MSbuild.exe not found".

However, the entries for MSBuild 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 are in the registry in the default location.

How did you fix it (I didn't have a clue) ?

[gluck]

There's some empty catch blocks in the registry class that may hide JNA errors and results in msbuild not being found. As your original error was relating to JNA, there may be a link there.

If you can, rebuilding the plugin with logs there may help.
