Intellij Grade Build Jar with dependencies

Question

I want to build a jar file in IntelliJ IDEA with Gradle. When I run my code in Intellij everything works fine, but when I run the jar file I get an error:

SQLExecption: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlite:/applications/elite-dangerous/database/ED_Database.db

I build the jar throw pressing the build button.

It's strange for me because it works perfectly fine when I run it in IntelliJ IDEA.

Dependencies included using implementation config are not being included in the Jar which makes them not available in runtime. So, I guess that could be the case. You can try changing implementation to compile dependencies ( which is deprecated, so not recommended ) or You can include your dependencies in the jar as below

 jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'eliteDangerousRestUpdater.Main'
    }
    from {
        compileJava.classpath.collect {
            it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)
        }
    }
}
