Hi, I have the following gradle script:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath(group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.0.1')
}
}
task helloCommons << {
new MyWriter().write()
}
and a basic class in buildSrc/src/main/groovy/MyWriter.groovy
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils
class MyWriter {
void write() {
FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File('test.txt'),"hello")
}
}
When running gradle helloCommons it throws a NoClassDefFoundError
Build file '/home/detlef/develop/gradle/my.gradle' line: 11
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':helloCommons'.
Cause: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils
When writing in build.gradle:
task helloCommons << {
org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.writeStringToFile(new File('test.txt'),"hello")
}
it work, but why doesnt it work when extracting that to a class ?
Can somebody spot my problem here ? Thanks
