使用Gradle和Spring-boot构建可执行jar文件时出现问题

Question

I am having trouble executing the built jar file:

Running the following command java -jar /build/libs/***.jar gives me a bunch of NoClassDefFoundError errors.

But when I run gradle bootrun it works fine...

I have followed instructions here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/build-tool-plugins-gradle-plugin.html

My build.gradle looks like this:

apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.5
version = '1.0'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.6.RELEASE")
    }
}

springBoot {
    mainClass = "org.gradle.App"
}

dependencies {
    compile files('lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar')
}

Thank you.

It might be a bit difficult to answer without some element missing; if you have some fancy stuff, please highlight or better share your application but basically I was able to make it work with the following :

the build.gradle file was pretty much like yours

apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

sourceCompatibility = 1.5
version = '1.0'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.6.RELEASE")
    }
}

springBoot {
    mainClass = "com.readinglist.ReadingListApplication"
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile files('lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') 
}

I do not know if they differ a lot but the doc for your 1.2.6 version is http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.2.6.RELEASE/reference/html/build-tool-plugins-gradle-plugin.html#build-tool-plugins-gradle-dependencies-without-versions and they do mention to add the dependencies.

A note on your script, isn't selenium only necessary for your testing ? you could change compile files ..selenium to testCompile files ..selenium (or even testRuntime ) your jar file will thank you for that.

For info I build a pretty basic Spring-Boot app for this testing (based on the example from the Spring Boot In Action)

package com.readinglist;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

import org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer;

@SpringBootApplication
public class ReadingListApplication {

    private static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ReadingListApplication.class);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ReadingListApplication.class, args);
        log.info("SeleniumServer ClassName is " + SeleniumServer.class.getName());
    }
}

The important piece is to make sure you have a valid main method

For reference, my gradle execution is

fhenri@machine:~/project/examples/spring-boot/inactionbook/readinglist$ gradle build

and finally running your command

If you have something wrong, make sure to run gradle clean after you made some changes.
