Gradle, Spring boot. Error: Could not find or load main class

Question

Project structure

I have a spring boot application, which is integrated with Gradle. After I executed task instalDist, which create a executable script. I can not run this script, because I'm getting error like:

Error: Could not find or load main class some.package
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: some.package

I can execute jar file, it is no problem. I can also run project by IDE. But I cannot run it with this script after ran the instalDist

build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'application-plugin'
    id 'groovy'
    id "org.springframework.boot" version "2.3.1.RELEASE"

}


dependencies {
some dependencies ..
}

Btw. I created similar project with same settings and it works corectly, but this doesn't work.

You have to add mainClassName for the spring boot application.

mainClassName = 'com.example.MySpringBootApplication'
