java - Unable to find main class :bootRepackage

Question

I got a problem with my gradle build. I use the standard proposed by the Spring Website (https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/), but when I try to use gradle build, I got this error :

It doesnt work for this gradle, but when I use another one (that I took when I was at school) it work perfectly.

Answer 1

There are two possibilities

1. Your source directory is not in the right location (use the sourceSets directive to fix this. your source directory should resemble something like src/main/java/your/package)

2. Add this to indicate where your main class is

   springBoot {
        mainClass = "hello.FileUploader"
   }
   

I am pretty sure it is 1.
