Gradle build fails on Lombok annotated classes

Question

I have a JHipster project in which I have added dependency for Lombok in build.gradle:

compile group: 'org.projectlombok', name: 'lombok', version: lombok_version 

And I have the Lombok plugin stalled for IntelliJ. I've turned on annotation processing in IntelliJ, I can build without errors from the IntelliJ IDE, but when I try to build from the command line I get build errors. It seems like Gradle is not processing the annotations and can't find the getter/setter and log declarations. The project also runs without any kind of errors.

Command Line:

./gradlew build 

Errors :

/Users/.../source/v4.0/src/main/java/com/.../service/MyService.java:145: error: cannot find symbol         log.info("Security Context: " + SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserLogin());         ^   symbol:   variable log   location: class MyService 

Error:

/Users/.../source/v4.0/src/main/java/com/.../service/MyService.java:105: error: cannot find symbol         myClass.setDescription(description);                         ^   symbol:   method setDescription(String)   location: variable myClass of type MyClass 

Service Class:

import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;  import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;  @Service @Slf4j public class MyService {           public void someMethod(){         log.debug("Security Context: " + SecurityUtils.getCurrentUserLogin());         MyClass myCLass = new MyClass();         myClass.setDescription(description);     } } 

Entity Class:

import lombok.Getter; import lombok.NoArgsConstructor; import lombok.Setter; import javax.persistence.Entity; import javax.persistence.Table;  @Entity @Table(name="t_juror_file_update") @Getter @Setter @NoArgsConstructor public class MyClass {      private String description;  } 

I've been trying to figure this out for hours, but totally stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem and worked for me when added to build.gradle:

dependencies{  compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.8' annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.8'  }

You will need to specify lombok as an annotation processor. To do this, You will need to add following to build.gradle in a Jhipster project.

apply plugin: 'net.ltgt.apt'  dependencies {         provided "org.projectlombok:lombok:$lombokVersion"     apt "org.projectlombok:lombok:$lombokVersion"      /** ... */ } 

Jhipster uses net.ltgt.gradle:gradle-apt-plugin for annotation processing.

For IntelliJ setup, Enable annotation Processing should be checked.
