After upgrading to Gradle 2.0: Could not find Compile property in root project

Question

To avoid special character warnings when creating Java source code, I put this line in my gradle.build , which worked fine before upgrading to Gradle 2.0:

 tasks.withType(Compile) { options.encoding = "UTF-8" } 

After the update, this fails with the following error:

 Could not find property 'Compile' on root project 

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

Change string to

 tasks.withType(JavaCompile) { options.encoding = "UTF-8" } 

fixed problem.

Answer 2

Use task.withType(JavaCompile) .

My code is:

 buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-tomcat-plugin:2.2.3' } tasks.withType(JavaCompile) { options.debug = true options.debugOptions.debugLevel = "source,lines,vars" options.encoding = "UTF-8" } } 

Answer 3

For Groovy projects. This will:

 tasks.withType(GroovyCompile) { options.debug = true }
