Java Introducing Spring Data REST

Posted by Geoffrey Emerson

Error in build.gradle: "No service of type StyledTextOutputFactory available in ProjectScopeServices."

This error pops up when following the "Introducing Spring Data REST" video.

Here's a possible solution derived from https://github.com/spring-gradle-plugins/dependency-management-plugin/issues/87

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/plugins-snapshot" }
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:0.6.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT"
        classpath('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.3.RELEASE')
    }
}

These additions make the error go away, but I don't know if they will cause problems later in this course.

Thanks!

Additionally, if you replace the spring-boot-gradle-plugin with version 1.4.0 or above, the error does not appear. That being said, I don't know yet if there will be any implications resulting from upgrading the version later on in the course.

use https://start.spring.io/ next time to generate your project and then load it in Intellij IDEA. And find appropriate version at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-gradle-plugin/1.5.10.RELEASE

This is my gradle config, works fine. since Im also using maven repo links.

group 'com.ajinkya.th'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

buildscript {
    ext {
        springBootVersion = '1.5.10.BUILD-SNAPSHOT'
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
        maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" }
    maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
}

https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-rest/ If you just want to use JAVA Spring rest

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.0.0.RELEASE")
    }
}

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

bootJar {
    baseName = 'gs-accessing-data-rest'
    version = '0.1.0'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")
    compile("com.h2database:h2")
    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")

Thanks, I decided to use this as a gradleStarter for a basic Spring project.

That was very helpful, thanks Geoffrey Emerson! Works also for the course Unit Testing a Spring Application.
