Seeing issues with Gradle 2.4

[Schalk W. Cronjé]

Assuming that a build script contains something like

views {
        "someName" {
            dsl {
                        }
                }
}

under Gradle 2.4 this will cause an exception similar to below

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.util.LinkedHashSet.sort() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String$CaseInsensitiveComparator) values: [java.lang.String$CaseInsensitiveComparator@723877dd]

The exception is thrown from javaposse, but is it posssible that what the plugin is passing down could be different under Gradle 2.4?

Schalke,

I've not been able to reproduce this problem. I've tried with the barebones example above and with a fairly complicated test project, but no issues. Is there something unique about your project that might be coming into play (e.g. custom groovy library, forced version of job-dsl-core, etc)?

[Schalk W. Cronjé]

THere is a custom built 2.4, but I would not suppose that to be the issue. I'll retry it with 1.3.1.

I encountered the same issue some time ago, had to do with the groovy version being used (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-6900 ). The issue was usage in an older version of the JobDSL plugin of a method that is not compatible with newer groovy versions. This has been fixed in later versions of the plugin (>= 1.28 if I remember correctly).
