Could not create task of type 'TomcatRun'

Question

Maybe somebody can help to configure gradle-tomcat-plugin?

This is content of build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.1.9.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
        classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-tomcat-plugin:2.0'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
apply plugin: 'com.bmuschko.tomcat'

sourceCompatibility = 1.6
version = '1.0'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    def tomcatVersion = '7.0.42'
    tomcat "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core:${tomcatVersion}",
            "org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-logging-juli:${tomcatVersion}"
    tomcat("org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-jasper:${tomcatVersion}") {
        exclude group: 'org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler', module: 'ecj'
    }
}

While running task tomcatRun I get this error: Could not create task of type 'TomcatRun'. This stactrace:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/typehandling/ShortTypeHandling

I solved it by upgrading Gradle to 2.4. – Maladec VampaYa May 22 '15 at 08:53 — Maladec VampaYa, May 22 '15 at 08:53

If anybody has the same problem probably you are using gradle not the gradle wrapper. I solved the problem by running gradlew tomcatRun task.

Could this be because the the gradle wrapper is a newer version of Gradle? – Daniel Vaughan Mar 05 '15 at 17:10

You need to update Gradle to version 2.1 at least to make it work.
