Plugin not working against android plugin 1.4.x-beta

[pjakubczyk]

Google released 1.4.0-beta2 (2015/09/15)
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system

and it's crashing while looking for
https://github.com/groovy/groovy-android-gradle-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/groovyx/grooid/GroovyAndroidPlugin.groovy#L19

I checked the structure of the com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder object in runtime , and there's a different signature in the getBootClassPath method between the 1.4.0-beta1 and the 1.4.0-beta2 version:

• 1.4.0-beta1:
  public List getBootClasspath();
• 1.4.0-beta2:
  public List getBootClasspath(boolean);

So, by adding a parameter to the method getBootClasspath, it can no longer be called as a property.

I tested the values returned with both boolean values:

Return value from getBootClasspath(true):
['C:\android-sdk\platforms\android-23\android.jar', C:\android-sdk\platforms\android-23\optional\org.apache.http.legacy.jar']

Return value from getBootClasspath(false):
['C:\android-sdk\platforms\android-23\android.jar']

I can guess the parameter means "include legacy bootClasspath" or something similar

I created a pull request (#62) to add the code to support 1.4.0-beta2. I tested in a simple application, that had the same error as reported (Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: bootClasspath for class: com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder
), and now it compiles without problems

I couldn't find a way to download the exact 1.4.0-beta1 and 1.4.0-beta2 source code, don't know if it's available from Google, not sure if this is the actual source code

[pjakubczyk]

I can't find it too. Anyways thanks for the update. I will retest the plugin once they release to 1.4.0 - no beta :)

Problem still occurs in final version v1.5.0, it is time to release plugin

[RoundSparrow]

I seem to be having the same problem with v1.5.0 - is a release coming soon?

[mradzinski]

On the 1.5.0 version of the plugin the method getBootClassPath has the same signature @dmancilla mentioned.

[dbacinski]

Until release SNAPSHOT version can be used provided by Jitpack:
https://jitpack.io/#groovy/groovy-android-gradle-plugin/1b77dd6763

It works perfectly with 1.5.0 version of the plugin.

[ThanosFisherman]

Looks like I'm having the same issue on stable plugin 1.5.0 but I suspect it is related to dexguard (Or maybe not). Project builds fine but it can't execute.

Here's the stacktrace

Error:groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: bootClasspath for class: com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder

    at org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.execution.ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.executeActions(ExecuteActionsTaskExecuter.java:61)

Any ideas?

[dbacinski]

@ThanosFisherman you have to use latest SNAPSHOT version

repositories {
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
compile 'com.github.groovy:groovy-android-gradle-plugin:1b77dd6763'

[Xylez01]

Is there any news on when a new release is being planned?

[jaredsburrows]

+1

[lyssi]

Thanks to @dbacinski I could also work around this issue using the snapshot version. Since it's already fixed I'm also hoping for a new release soon :)!

@JordyLangen I'm working on finding a better CI option and getting some other pieces of knowledge transferred so that I can get a new release out.

[jaredsburrows]

Nothing is better than TravisCI at the moment.

@pieces029 Can vouch for what @jaredsburrows says, nothing beats Travis CI

[AndrewReitz]

@JordyLangen No, I cannot. I didn't want to start an argument on the internet though.

[AndrewReitz]

This has been fixed and released in the 0.3.7.
