trying to solve the follwoing error when upgrading to grails 7 A problem occurred evaluating project ':wt-app'.

Plugin with id 'org.apache.grails:grails-gsp' not found.

This error means the Gradle plugin id is incorrect. For Grails 7, the correct plugin id is org.apache.grails.grails-gsp (with dots, not colons). Update your build.gradle to use:

plugins {
    id "org.apache.grails.grails-gsp"
}

According to the official docs, Grails 7 plugins use dot notation for Gradle plugin ids, and all dependencies must use the new org.apache.grails group and updated coordinates. See more at Grails 7 Upgrading Guide. Would you like more detail on updating other dependencies or plugins?

An alternative approach to resolving the issue is to ensure that the

grails-gsp

plugin is applied correctly using the

apply plugin

syntax instead of the

plugins

block. This can be particularly useful if your project is using an older Gradle configuration style or if you encounter compatibility issues with the

plugins

block. You can update your

build.gradle

file as follows:

apply plugin: "org.apache.grails.grails-gsp"

This method explicitly applies the

grails-gsp

plugin and can help avoid potential issues with plugin resolution. Additionally, ensure that the

grails-gsp

dependency is included in your

dependencies

block:

dependencies {
    implementation "org.apache.grails:grails-gsp:7.0.0-RC2"
}

According to the Grails Web Layer Documentation, the

grails-gsp

plugin must be correctly applied and the dependency must be included for GSP functionality to work in Grails 7. This approach provides flexibility and ensures compatibility with older Gradle configurations. Would you like assistance verifying other dependencies or Gradle configurations in your project?

We do not publish our gradle plugins to the portal. Have you made sure you're reference maven central in your buildScript or buildsrc?

yea i have mavenCentral() any place i have a repo

are you using buildSrc or buildscript?

buildscript

Are you including

org.apache.grails:grails-gradle-plugins

on the classpath for gradle in buildscript?

drop the :7.0.0-RC2 - by using the bom, you don't need it.

gradle-8.11.1

is ok?

that shouldn't matter. I'm assuming you have a multiproject build?

thank you!!! that link will be super useful

https://grails.apache.org/docs/latest/guide/upgrading.html#upgrading60x mentions this document & also has a script to automate 90% of these changes to your gradle files

yea i ran the script and felt like it got 50% of them

we didnt' do every permutation with it. PR's are welcome to improve it 😃
