#INTELLIJ GRADLE HOW TO#

Now that we know where the dependencies should be declared for a Gradle project, let's look at how to add or update dependencies. In order for Gradle to run JUnit 5 tests, the test section of the adle file needs to say useJUnitPlatform, so IntelliJ IDEA has generated this for us too. Eventually, I want to reduce gradle build time in IntelliJ. The 'processResources' gradle task takes a long time, but build project (Ctrl+F9) takes a little time. It also uses the compact form for dependency declaration, with the group name, artifact name and version number separated by colons. When I build project (Ctrl + F9) in IntelliJ, I want to update build directory automatically. Note that IntelliJ IDEA uses the updated configuration names for the dependencies, for example testImplementation instead of testCompile.

We also have junit-jupiter-engine, since we need this to run any JUnit 5 tests that we write. We have JUnit 5, specifically 5.7 at the time of recording, set up as a test dependency. IntelliJ IDEA has set us up with a couple of default dependencies that we probably need for the project. We're using Maven Central as the default dependency repository. When I try to create a Gradle project in intellij, I receive the following error, even after importing the CA and intermediate certs into both Intellij (via the Server Certificates settings page) and into every Java trust store I can think of. The metadata underneath this is the group and version information that we left as the defaults. As you can see, when I enter gradle -v, the comand line can print the right message. In the plugins section we have the java plugin. I have downloaded gradle-6.3, installed and configured both GRADLEHOME and GRADLEUSERHOME.
