Some library seems to be missing

I downloaded the project file, via GitHub and link on Treehouse, and tried either opening the project or importing via existing source, but none of them works. They all show the springframework.boot and some other libraries as unrecognized, despite the dependencies being the same as the project file. Downloading the springframework.boot doesn't help either.

The Gradle project window says "unable to resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf"

Do you have the following lines in the build.gradle file: 

// Include the Spring Boot plugin
buildscript {
    repositories{
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.3.RELEASE'
    }
}

// Apply the Spring Boot plugin
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

The only way I can get it to compile is to use this: 

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '2.0.1.RELEASE'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

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

group = 'com.teamtreehouse'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}


dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-web
    compile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-web', version: '5.0.5.RELEASE'
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-webmvc
    compile group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-webmvc', version: '5.0.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.hashids:hashids:1.0.1'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-orm:4.2.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.2.1.Final'
    compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-dbcp:8.0.32'
    compile 'com.h2database:h2:1.4.191'
    compile 'org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring4:3.0.9.RELEASE'
}

It launches Spring and I get the colored text outputs. But after a second or so I get an error: 

Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

Not sure if that is normal at this point. This is just with the first project file downloaded without any code edits.

Every course I started I got stuck on broken code and have to google for hours, teachers code is most of the time broken. Outdated course not worth time and money iMHO the only courses I've found so far that are working are those on Udemy!

It looks like the Spring Boot plugin isn't running. This plugin allows you to add a dependency without version number and let gradle get the latest version.

You added some more dependencies to spring webmvc and spring web, and while it may look like it resolves some issues on the surface, they're not the right dependencies for this project. The error you get is because of the missing thymeleaf components.

Try referencing the version number explicitly instead. Your build.gradle file should be like this (the important part is the version number added to the first dependency):

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

// Include the Spring Boot plugin
buildscript {
    repositories{
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.3.RELEASE'
    }
}

// Apply the Spring Boot plugin
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

// Apply the Java plugin (expects src/main/java to be source folder)
apply plugin: 'java'

// Specify the location where our dependencies will be found
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

// Specify dependencies
dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf:2.0.1.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.hashids:hashids:1.0.1'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-orm:4.2.5.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.2.1.Final'
    compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-dbcp:8.0.32'
    compile 'com.h2database:h2:1.4.191'
}

Still, the plugin fails to load when I change my file to include the version. I tried using your code exactly and it still wouldn't load the plugin.

OK, try it again with just this:

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

// Apply the Java plugin (expects src/main/java to be source folder)
apply plugin: 'java'

// Specify the location where our dependencies will be found
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

// Specify dependencies
dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf:2.0.1.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.hashids:hashids:1.0.1'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-orm:4.2.5.RELEASE'

    compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-dbcp:8.0.32'

Thanks for your help. Apparently my Gradle installation is broken. Redownloaded it and it's good!

Thanks, but now the build console give me this: Seems like it doesn't recognize the spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf library.

I might reinstall IntelliJ if that might be helpful.

FINALLY I got it to work. Apparently the Gradle Installation is broken, and I redownloaded it according to this. I deleted the files and IntelliJ redownloaded everything and now it is all good.

Hi Jiamin,

What version gradle you used for thie project. I am having same issue you did and I followed the stackoverflow but it couldn't solve my problem. Every time the intelliJ automatically download 2.2 -all version of gradle.
