But there is no task named as tomcatRun in my build.gradle file.

Well, as you do not provide any information about your build, what should we guess? The error clearly states what Frederik also repeated. Maybe you apply two plugins that both try to add that task if you don't do it in your build directly. The second place that tries it you can also find by following the advice in the error, running with

--stacktrace

or even better

--scan

.

How can I remove a task in my build.gradle file?

You shouldn't. Removing tasks has many quirks and problems and thus was removed.

possibly it was added by some plugin which you applied to your project

Yeah Is there an option for replacing the task with null

If you don't want the tasks of that plugin, don't apply that plugin. As I said, you cannot remove tasks anymore. Previously you could kind of, but if it really worked like intended, then by sheer luck and it must probably did not fully work like intended. Iirc you might be able to replace the task with another one as long as it was not realized yet. If you just want the tasks to not run, disable them by configuring the existing ones.

A problem occurred configuring project ':NewInfraSupportTool'.

Cannot add task 'NewInfraSupportTooltomcatRun' as a task with that name already exists.

How do you try to disable the task? I guess you try to create a new task with that name instead of configuring the existing one

While you shouldn't do it like that, but like

tasks.named("tomcatRun") { enabled = false }

to not break task configuration avoidance, that should not cause the error you showed. If you don't add a task with that name somewhere else in your build scripts, I'd still assume you apply two plugins that both try to add that task.

Well, the project is already messed up it seems. 😄 So whatever the Gretty plugin is not compatible with, you probably need to either remove one of the two plugins, get the authors of those plugins (or at least one of them) to change their plugin(s) so that they become compatible, or monkey-patch either of the plugins, to behave differently.

Can we change the servers for one plugin and try?

What servers?
