org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException

I keep getting this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [com/teamtreehouse/giflib/config/DataConfig.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.internal.util.config.ConfigurationException: Unable to perform unmarshalling at line number 0 and column 0 in URL file: /giftlib-hibernate/build/resources/main/hibernate.cfg.xml. Message: null

I have came across other examples of this error but none that had a "Message: null" error.

I also have had a lot of issues following courses with the same exact gradle build file. Often I need more or different dependencies than in the videos. This might be the issue. I am using gradle 5.0

this is my build.gradle file. I already tried using the one from the github repo for the course but that did not work.

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'idea'
    id 'eclipse'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '1.4.3.RELEASE'
}

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

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.thymeleaf.extras:thymeleaf-extras-java8time:2.1.0.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'
    compile 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.0'
    compile 'org.hashids:hashids:1.0.1'

    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-orm
    compile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-orm', version: '5.0.7.RELEASE'
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core
    compile group: 'org.hibernate', name: 'hibernate-core', version: '5.3.2.Final'
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-dbcp2
    compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-dbcp:9.0.10'
    compile 'com.h2database:h2:1.4.197'
}

I was able to get it working with this build.gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.0.4.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

bootJar {
    baseName = 'gs-securing-web'
    version =  '0.1.0'
    launchScript()
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
