Cannot change configuration dependencies

Question

After adding copyBootstrap to build.gradle I get the following error when trying to start the build task:

FAILURE: build failed with exception.

• Something went wrong:

There was a problem setting up the root project. It is not possible to change the configuration dependencies ': providedCompile' after it is included in the resolution of dependencies.

How to solve this problem? I searched the Internet, but no solutions were found. I got the copyBootstrap task from this link . Their goal is to extract all the content from the banners of the org.webjars group to a specific path.

I am using Gradle 3.2 and Intellij IDEA 2016.2.5

This problem seems to be related to the org.akhikhl.gretty plugin that you are trying to use. If I try to build a project using the gradle file above, I get the following output:

 C:\ws\PLAYGROUND\test123>gradle wrapper --stacktrace Changed dependencies of configuration ':providedCompile' after it has been included in dependency resolution. This behaviour has been deprecated and is cheduled to be removed in Gradle 3.0. Changed dependencies of parent of configuration ':compile' after it has been resolved. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 3.0 Changed strategy of configuration ':compile' after it has been resolved. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 3.0 Changed dependencies of configuration ':grettyProvidedCompile' after it has been included in dependency resolution. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 3.0. ⋮ * Exception is: org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring root project 'test123'. at org.gradle.configuration.project.LifecycleProjectEvaluator.addConfigurationFailure(LifecycleProjectEvaluator.java:79) at org.gradle.configuration.project.LifecycleProjectEvaluator.notifyAfterEvaluate(LifecycleProjectEvaluator.java:74) at org.gradle.configuration.project.LifecycleProjectEvaluator.evaluate(LifecycleProjectEvaluator.java:61) ⋮ Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserDataException: Cannot change dependencies of configuration ':compile' after it has been resolved. at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultConfiguration.validateMutation(DefaultConfiguration.java:578) at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultConfiguration$2.run(DefaultConfiguration.java:137) ⋮ at org.akhikhl.gretty.GrettyPlugin$_addDependencies_closure11.doCall(GrettyPlugin.groovy:130) ⋮ 

This gretty plugin seems to use functionality that was removed with gradle 3.0

There is issue # 306 , which was recently reported, which describes almost your problem.

Given the number of open issues for such a small project and the lack of activity on these issues, I don’t think this plugin really helps, and you will probably be better off using something else.
