I don’t have an ‘application’ folder under Gradle projects > giflib >Tasks. What am I doing wrong?

Here is a screenshot of my Gradle projects sidebar: http://imgur.com/a/rTzwc In the video at 2:55 there is an application folder with a bootRun file that we need to go forward that I don’t have. What do I need to do?

AppConfig.java

package com.teamtreehouse.giflib;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;

@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class AppConfig {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(AppConfig.class, args);
}
}

build.gradle

group 'com.teamtreehouse'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.6.RELEASE'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.5

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.2.6.RELEASE'
}

```

    }
}

Click the blue refresh icon at the top of the gradle panel. If the application group doesn't show up, are there any error/warning messages?

Try checking under "Other".

Hmmm... I notice there's an odd Unicode character at the end of your listing for build.gradle that causes an error if I try to include it. try removing any blank lines after the last dependencies block. You can also try running gradle manually in the terminal from the project directory:

# On Windows:
gradlew.bat bootRun

#on Linux/Mac
./gradlew bootRun
