Spring Boot cannot find spring-boot-starter-dao-jpa package using Gradle?

I have the following Gradle file:
I had this working fine, but all of the sudden it seems like this JPA package cannot be found. I have added it compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-dao-jpa")
Every time I try and build, it complains about this. I check the dependency graph and it has a red underline to show it's missing. What can I do?
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '2.0.1.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}"
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
apply plugin: 'maven'
group = 'com.remindful'
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jersey')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web-services')
compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-websocket')
compile('org.springframework.session:spring-session-core')
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-dao-jpa")
compile("com.h2database:h2:1.4.191")
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")
compile group: 'com.google.guava', name: 'guava', version: '11.0.2'
compile group: 'com.h2database', name: 'h2', version: '1.4.197'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
testCompile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-test', version: '2.0.1.RELEASE'
}
// To force debug on application boot, switch suspend to y
bootRun {
systemProperties System.properties
jvmArgs=["-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005"]
}

There is no sign of spring-boot-starter-dao-jpa in the Spring Maven Repository, so I suspect it doesn't exist. Try removing the line.
Maybe this was a copy & paste error from the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency two lines below...?

It looks like when I refactored my project structure, intellij got clever and renamed the dependencies. Be careful on that one!

NoClassDefFoundError on Spring application

Full error is in this image as I am running on virtual machine in cloud which is access via video feed so I cannot copy and paste.This is a fresh install of ubuntu where I have only installed JDK and nothing else so unaware if other setup needs to be done

This is because your dependencies are not included in one jar file.
use ./gradlew clean build

How to use jUnit 5 with Gradle

Running the IDEA IDE I want to add a gradle dependency for the jUnit v5.
Here is my build.gradle file, I used this answer as a guide.
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories { mavenCentral() }
apply plugin: 'org.junit.platform.gradle.plugin'
dependencies {
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'junit:junit:4.12'
testRuntime("org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:4.12.0-M4")
testCompile("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.0.0-M4")
testRuntime("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.0.0-M4")
// Enable use of the JUnitPlatform Runner within the IDE
testCompile("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-runner:1.0.0-M4")
compile ("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.0.0-M4")
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'src'
}
}
}
junitPlatform {
details 'tree'
}
The problem here is that the jUnit4 annotations are resolved by import but all the v5 annotations are not resolved.
One example:
#ParameterizedTest
public void testExample() {
// My annotations is not resolved
}
What is the right way to add a jUnit5 dependency using gradle?
EDIT
I started a new gradle java project from scratch to get to the bottom of this.
Here is my current build.gradle.
group 'com.iay0361'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories { mavenCentral() }
apply plugin: 'org.junit.platform.gradle.plugin'
dependencies {
testCompile group: 'org.junit.vintage', name: 'junit-vintage-engine', version: '4.12.0-RC3'
testCompile group: 'org.junit.jupiter', name: 'junit-jupiter-api', version: '5.0.0-RC3'
testCompile group: 'org.junit.jupiter', name: 'junit-jupiter-engine', version: '5.0.0-RC3'
compile group: 'org.junit.jupiter', name: 'junit-jupiter-params', version: '5.0.0-RC3'
testCompile group: 'org.junit.platform', name: 'junit-platform-runner', version: '1.0.0-RC3'
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'src'
}
}
}
junitPlatform {
details 'tree'
}
I wrote the #Test annotation in a new class file under test after which it asked me to "add the 'jUnit5' to classpath
which I did and this time selected the Copy 'jUnit5' libraries to... instead of using the IDEA distributor.
Now it added these files in module:
The file is still RC2 but in build.gradle it is RC3.
There are also no jUnit jars in "External Library" directory
What am I missing, the problem is still that the IDE cannot resolve some jUnit5 annotations like #ParamiterizedTest.

Here is a quick sample on how to configure gradle with junit5. In your dependencies, remove the compile statement for the junit:4.12 artifact verison.
// If you also want to support JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 tests
testCompile("junit:junit:4.12")
In the buildscript() method, include these:
buildscript {
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { classpath 'org.junit.platform:junit-platform-gradle-plugin:1.0.0-RC3' }
}

How to get gradle and cucumber working together?

Getting gradle to work with cucumber cleanly is something of a challenge. I want to get gradle build to compile and run the tests, but so far I've had no success.
build.gradle
plugins {
id "com.github.samueltbrown.cucumber" version "0.9"
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
def JAVA_WEBSOCKET_VERSION = '1.2.1'
def CUCUMBER_VERSION = '1.2.4'
jar {
manifest {
attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Java-WebSocket',
'Implementation-Version': JAVA_WEBSOCKET_VERSION
}
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-java:$CUCUMBER_VERSION"
testCompile "info.cukes:cucumber-junit:$CUCUMBER_VERSION"
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.+'
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.9'
}
Currently I get many errors about the annotations (#Given, #Then, #After) that cucumber uses. What I want is to build the project cleanly without using JavaExec. Is this possible or is there a specific limitation to either gradle or cucumber that prevents this?

dependencies {
testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-jvm:1+'
testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-jvm-deps:1+'
testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-java:1+'
testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1+'
testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-core:1+'
}
I created another function to execute test
test {
ignoreFailures = true
// show standard out and standard error of the test JVM(s) on the console
testLogging.showStandardStreams = true
// set heap size for the test JVM(s)
minHeapSize = "128m"
maxHeapSize = "512m"
// set JVM arguments for the test JVM(s)
jvmArgs '-XX:MaxPermSize=256m'
// listen to events in the test execution lifecycle
beforeTest { descriptor ->
logger.lifecycle("Running test: " + descriptor)
}
// explicitly include or exclude tests( Add Package directly)
exclude "com/**/***/rest/junit**"
exclude "com/**/***/db/junit**"
reports.junitXml.enabled = false
reports.html.enabled = false
}
now Call this function from command line for test execution
task "forceTest" {
dependsOn "clean", "cleanTest", "test"
}

Please use the below gradle cucumber plugin in your build.gradle file
plugins {
id 'java'
id "com.github.samueltbrown.cucumber" version "0.9"
}
dependencies {
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
compile 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.4.7'
cucumberCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-groovy:1.2.2'
}
Running gradle cucumber in the terminal will get you started

Gradle build multi modules project with transitive dependencies

I have problem with building my simple app. It contains 3 modules, ejb, rest and ear in which rest should be included. To achieve it I wrote build.gradle as one below. But I still have problems. Built ear looks like:
ear-1.0.ear
|--ejbs-1.0.jar
|--rest-1.0.jar
|--lib
|--ejbs-1.0.jar
|--other libs..
As you can see, I have here duplicated ejbs-1.0.jar. It's no something I want so I have tried to work this around. I have tried 2 approaches I found on web but neither of them worked. First one (comments with label 1) excluded all rest dependencies from going into lib dir. Second (label 2) did the same but also included rest-1.0.jar into lib, making it even worse.
Now I have no idea how to write my build.gradle so it puts jars made from subprojects in root dir, and their dependencies in lib dir. I have also tried to write something like comments with label 3, but this makes script fail. Is there easy way to excluded it like that with similar syntax?
project(":ejbs") {
apply plugin: "java"
dependencies {
compile group: 'javax.ejb', name: 'javax.ejb-api', version: '3.2'
compile group: 'org.apache.logging.log4j', name: 'log4j-api', version: '2.2'
compile group: 'org.apache.logging.log4j', name: 'log4j-core', version: '2.2'
}
}
project(":rest") {
apply plugin: "java"
dependencies {
compile project(':ejbs')
compile group: 'javax.ejb', name: 'javax.ejb-api', version: '3.2'
compile group: 'javax.ws.rs', name: 'jsr311-api', version: '0.11'
compile group: 'org.apache.logging.log4j', name: 'log4j-api', version: '2.2'
compile group: 'org.apache.logging.log4j', name: 'log4j-core', version: '2.2'
}
}
project(":ear") {
apply plugin: "java"
apply plugin: "ear"
dependencies {
//1: def nonTransitive = {transitive = false}
deploy project(":ejbs")
deploy project(":rest")
earlib project(path:":ejbs", configuration:"compile")
earlib project(path:":rest", configuration:"compile")//1: , nonTransitive
//2: add('earlib', project(':rest')) {
// transitive = false
//}
//3: earlib project(path:":rest", configuration:"compile") {
// exlude project(':ejbs')
//}
}
}

I finally found a solution. I made it this way:
project(":ear") {
apply plugin: "java"
apply plugin: "ear"
dependencies {
deploy project(":ejbs")
deploy project(":rest")
earlib project(path:":ejbs", configuration:"compile")
earlib(project(path:":rest", configuration:"compile")) {
exclude module: 'ejbs'
}
}
}
