JUnitRestDocumentation not found.

Trying out the latest M1 release (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-restdocs/blob/v1.1.0.M1/samples/rest-notes-spring-hateoas/src/test/java/com/example/notes/GettingStartedDocumentation.java) I stumbled upon a problem:

import org.springframework.restdocs.JUnitRestDocumentation; I cannot resolve this class. Do you have any hints what is wrong with my dependencies?

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-hateoas'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging'
    compile 'org.yaml:snakeyaml:1.16'
    compile 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-hal-browser'

    testCompile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc:1.1.0.M1'
}

    ext {
        dependencyManagementPluginVersion = '0.5.5.RELEASE'
        springBootVersion = '1.3.2.RELEASE'
    }

    dependencyManagement {
        imports {
            mavenBom("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:${springBootVersion}")
        }
    }

The dependency management is overriding the version of spring-restdocs-core back to 1.0.x. Easiest thing to do is to override the version property that's in the spring-boot-dependencies bom:

ext['spring-restdocs.version']='1.1.0.M1'

You can then remove the version from your dependency:

testCompile 'org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc'

I added your suggestion like:

dependencyManagement {

        imports {
        ext['spring-restdocs.version'] = '1.1.0.M1'
            mavenBom("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:${springBootVersion}")
        }
    }

and the correct version seems to be loaded according to:

\--- org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-mockmvc: -> 1.1.0.M1
     +--- org.springframework:spring-test:4.1.8.RELEASE -> 4.2.4.RELEASE (*)
     \--- org.springframework.restdocs:spring-restdocs-core:1.1.0.M1
          +--- javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0
          +--- org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.1.8.RELEASE -> 4.2.4.RELEASE (*)
          \--- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.4.6.1 -> 2.6.5 (*)

However, still the class is not found.

#edit Finally after deleting the caches and deleting recreating the project using gradle idea helped to solve the problem

Glad to hear that you figured it out. Thanks for following up.
