Can you run 'gradle dependencies', and send in the output? Also, can you try using mavenCentral() instead of mavenLocal()?

Just a 'me too', I'm using mavenCentral() and get the same error for testng 6.3.1

Any chance of a fix for m8? or maybe there is a workaround I can use until it's sorted?

I can't reproduce this issue with Milestone7 or Milestone8. So we'll need a bit more information:
Can you please download the Milestone8 snapshot and run your build with:

gradle --refresh=dependencies --info build

The output of this command might help us track down what's going on. Thanks!

m8 build info attached as requested - build-m8.txt

I've found the problem, I'm using 'org.uncommons:reportng:1.1.2' which declares a dependency on testng 5.0 with the jdk15 classifier.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>5.0</version>
<classifier>jdk15</classifier>
</dependency>

If I remove the reportng dependency from my build it works fine.
Seems gradle is also adding the classifier to the testng 6.3.1 dependency.

What is the solution to the reportng dependency problem? I'm trying to build with selenium, testng and reportng and get the same error:

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':compile'.
> Artifact 'org.testng:testng:6.3.1:jdk15@jar' not found.

I have the following in my dependencies declaration:

dependencies

When I run gradlew.bat dependencies, the tail of the output is:

+--- org.testng:testng:6.3.1 [default]

+--- junit:junit:3.8.1 [compile,master,runtime]

+--- org.beanshell:bsh:2.0b4 [compile,master,runtime]

+--- com.beust:jcommander:1.12 [compile,master,runtime]

--- org.yaml:snakeyaml:1.6 [compile,master,runtime] --- org.uncommons:reportng:1.1.2 [default] +--- org.testng:testng:6.3.1 [compile,runtime,master] --- velocity:velocity:1.4 [compile,master,runtime] --- velocity:velocity-dep:1.4 [compile,runtime,master]

- dependencies omitted (listed previously)

What is the correct way to add reportng dependency?

Is there any solution to this problem yet? I've run into it again today using both the version 1.0 gradle wrapper, and an installed copy of gradle 1.2.

The most frustrating part is that I'm not even using TestNG.

For completeness:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':web:testCompile'.
  > Artifact 'org.testng:testng:5.14.10:jdk15@jar' not found.

@Tony, if you're not using TestNG, then a workaround is simply to exclude it:

configurations.all

Still an issue with 1.5 - I'm attempting to follow this:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GRADLE/Cookbook#Cookbook-addreporters

but want a later version of TestNG.

@Kevin, why don't you just use the built-in Gradle test report rather than reportng?
