Task :compileJava UP-TO-DATE Task :processResources UP-TO-DATE Task :classes UP-TO-DATE Task :resolveMainClassName UP-TO-DATE Task :thinPom FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':thinPom' (type 'PomTask').

  • Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\Users\username\git\usernameapps\build\resources\main'.

  Reason: Task ':resolveMainClassName' uses this output of task ':thinPom' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Declare task ':thinPom' as an input of ':resolveMainClassName'.
  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':thinPom' from ':resolveMainClassName' using Task#dependsOn.
  3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':thinPom' from ':resolveMainClassName' using Task#mustRunAfter.

  Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.1/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.

• Try:

  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Addding following in build.gradle works but then fails on startup

thinPom.dependsOn resolveMainClassName bootStartScripts.dependsOn thinJar compileTestJava.dependsOn thinPom

Startup logs Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot locate launcher: C:\Users\username/.m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/experimental/spring-boot-thin-launcher/1.0.29.RELEASE/spring-boot-thin-launcher-1.0.29.RELEASE-exec.jar at org.springframework.boot.loader.wrapper.ThinJarWrapper.launch(ThinJarWrapper.java:131) at org.springframework.boot.loader.wrapper.ThinJarWrapper.main(ThinJarWrapper.java:107)

thinPom.dependsOn resolveMainClassName bootStartScripts.dependsOn thinJar compileTestJava.dependsOn thinPom

springBoot { mainClassName = 'com.sngeo.apps.SngeoApplication' }

adding above in build.gradle works with id 'org.springframework.boot.experimental.thin-launcher' version '1.0.28.RELEASE'

The "Cannot locate launcher" error is a duplicate of #196. I don't have enough Gradle knowledge to fix the issue in the plugin. PR would be very welcome.

The Gradle problem should be fixed in 1.0.31 (works up to Gradle 8.2.1 at least).
