Which works fine. Now I need to update the project to Java 17, so I changed the project to

stsc@linex014:~/IdeaProjects/gradle-app$ cat build.gradle
[...]
sourceCompatibility = 17
dependencies {
    testImplementation ('org.spockframework:spock-core:2.2-M1-groovy-3.0')

So somehow, my gradle still is still using Groovy-2.5.13, while it should be using Groovy-3.0.9.

Does anybody have an idea, what I can do to switch Gradle-7.4.2 to Groovy-3.0.9?

Thanks in advance. kniffte

CodePudding user response:

I've finally been able to build the project. After some time, Gradle has accepted the changes and built successfully. Changes needed:

  • gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties: update distributionUrl to version 7.4.2
  • update org.spockframework:spock-* to version 2.2-M1-groovy-4.0

I still do not understand, what the exact cause was, but it is doing it now: hooray!

Thank you anyway. kniffte
