Problem with dependency check

[rdmueller]

When using the com.github.ben-manes.versions gradle plugin version "0.14.0" to check for newer dependency versions of my gradle build, the tasks fails for the htmlSanityCheck plugin with the following message:

Failed to determine the latest version for the following dependencies (use --info for details):
 - gradle.plugin.org.aim42:htmlSanityCheck
The exception that is the cause of unresolved state: Could not find any matches for gradle.plugin.org.aim42:htmlSanityCheck:+ as no versions of gradle.plugin.org.aim42:htmlSanityCheck are available.
Searched in the following locations:
    https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/org/aim42/htmlSanityCheck/maven-metadata.xml
    https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/org/aim42/htmlSanityCheck/ 

Is there a chance to fix this within this project? btw: I use htmlSanityCheck in V0.9.6

I am using the same versions plugin, '0.14.0', in a project with htmlSanityCheck 0.9.6 and it's working well. Can you give the applicable snippets from your Gradle build? buildscript, dependencies, how you are applying the plugin either via plugins or apply ?

[rdmueller]

interesting. So, this is my build file: https://github.com/rdmueller/docToolchain/blob/master/build.gradle Maybe the big difference is that I do not define repositories? I will give this a try...

[rdmueller]

hm. still the same problem. Do you have an example build file which works? I would then try to investigate a bit more...

[rdmueller]

hm. independent from how I reference the plugin (plugins or apply) I get the same error.

But I also just found out that https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/org/aim42/htmlSanityCheck/0.9.3/htmlSanityCheck-0.9.3.pom is resolved as a download but https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/org/aim42/htmlSanityCheck/ (the URL which the dependencyUpdate tries to resolve) is redirectred to https://jcenter.bintray.com/gradle/plugin/org/aim42/htmlSanityCheck/ which results in a path not found.

don't know what's going on here...

[double16]

https://github.com/double16/pet-store is an example that works. The htmlSanityCheck plugin is in the staticsite sub-project.

You might need to add maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" } to your buildscript repositories.

We're using the latest (or very close to it) Gradle publishing plugin to publish, so it should be working similarly to other Gradle plugins.

@rdmueller - can I close this one? Seems resolved..

[rdmueller]

hm. not really resolved, but it seems that I am the only one with this problem and it is a minor problem... so I close it for now...
