Compilation failure with gradle 7.0+

[chirag-ji]

While upgraded to gradle 7.0.2 version. I am experiencing a problem that applying id "de.fuerstenau.buildconfig" version "1.1.8" throwing below gradle exception

Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Configuration not found

Caused by: org.gradle.api.artifacts.UnknownConfigurationException: Configuration with name 'compile' not found.

build.gradle

plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot'
id 'java'
id 'war'
id "de.fuerstenau.buildconfig" version "1.1.8"
}

Please take a look

Also getting this error at 1.1.8 for gradle 7!

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':my-project'.
> Configuration <compile> not found.

I've found a workaround, that seems to be working. I've just created an empty compile configuration.

configurations {
    create("compile")
}

But then I get a new issues which is:

Execution failed for task ':jar'.
> Entry com/fiftytwo/vim/BuildConfig.class is a duplicate but no duplicate handling strategy has been set. Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy.html#org.gradle.api.tasks.Copy:duplicatesStrategy for details.

Which is then solved by adding a DuplicatesStrategy to my jar task.

tasks {
    withType<Jar> {
        duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.INCLUDE
    }
}

I hope this will float the boat until a fix is out.

may be you could try a compatible 7.3.2 version made by myself: #31
