Spring security sample tutorial throws error within STS

[Rob Winch]

Thank you for your patience as well. I created SEC-2009 to ensure that support for ./gradlew eclipse is added back.

Hi all,

I am also having some trouble getting the sample tutorial to work. Admittedly, today is my first time importing a Git project or executing a Gradle script, so I'm probably missing a step (sorry in advance)! In any case, following the same walkthrough, I obtained the source from git then attempted to import using the Gradle Plugin by browsing to the root folder (../spring-security) and clicking "Build Model". The build fails with the following message:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'spring-security'.
Cause: Could not find property 'ext' on root project 'spring-security'.

...

My env:
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1
Java 1.6
STS 2.9.2.RELEASE
STS Gradle Integration 2.9.0.201203010842-RELEASE

Any ideas?

[Rob Winch]

It sounds like the incorrect Gradle version is being used (it should be using Gradle 1.0). Check your Gradle settings to see if it is using "Gradle Wrapper's Default".

[jrod]

That did the trick. Thanks!

[jrod]

one minor side note: when I run the "spring-security-config" unit tests as in the screencast, I get the following stack trace. Is my config still off?

This is a problem that exists with the test setup in Eclipse. The issue has to do with having multiple *.ldif files available on the classpath. Please feel free to log a JIRA and I will see if there is something that can be done to fix the issue (Eclipse is a bit tricky when it comes to dealing with test dependencies on other projects).

Just to connect the dots SEC-2016 was logged to address this
