No such property: useAnt for class: org.gradle.api.tasks.scala.ScalaCompileOptions

Question

I installed grade 3.0 and then git clone kafka from apache site. Then I ran gradle under kafka folder. But I got the error "No such property: useAnt for class: org.gradle.api.tasks.scala.ScalaCompileOptions". I looked at build.gradle for useAnt and removed that line. The error still persisted. Even I removed all scalsCompile related part from build.gradle I still get the same error.

I searched online and found that useAnt is deprecated in gradle 3.0, but why this error still happen if I removed useAnt from build.gradle?

Answer 1

Putting those lines the build.gralde seems to fix the problem in my project:

  ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.daemonServer = true
  ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.fork = true
  ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.useAnt = false
  ScalaCompileOptions.metaClass.useCompileDaemon = false
