Gradle: Could not find method providedCompile()
providedCompile
is shipped with war
plugin. So you need to add:
plugins {
// ...
id 'war'
}
You can get this error if you have a higher version of Gradle installed. For example you have:
gradle --version
giving
Gradle 5.0
but the project expects Gradle 2.10 or some other lower version of Gradle.
To solve this first try to use Gradle wrapper ./gradlew
(if included with project) instead of locally installed gradle. Or install a correct version of gradle and make it available using path variable.
