 Description   

Starting from 1.12 Gradle fails with NullPointerException as a reason on missing dependency:

  • What went wrong:
    Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':testCompile'.
    > Could not resolve junit:junit:4.111.
    Required by:
    info.solidsoft.gradle.pitest:gradle-pitest-plugin:0.33.1-SNAPSHOT
    > java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

Gradle 1.11 fails with:

  • What went wrong:
    Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':testCompile'.
    > Could not find junit:junit:4.111.
    Required by:
    info.solidsoft.gradle.pitest:gradle-pitest-plugin:0.33.1-SNAPSHOT

which doesn't suggest anything unexpected (I've got a bug report where the user suspected some additional bug in my plugin instead of just missing dependency).

Cannot reproduce. Please provide a minimal reproducible example, and post the stack trace (`--stacktrace`) as a Github Gist or similar.

Just clone my plugin from [1]https://github.com/szpak/gradle-pites... and change JUnit version to 4.111 (or anything else which doesn't exist) and run gradle test --stacktrace using Gradle 1.12.

Thanks for the report. Until the NPE gets fixed, removing `mavenLocal()` will solve the problem. Note that `mavenLocal()` should only be used if artifacts need to be exchanged with a local Maven build.
