im using liferay 7.1 ,and when i want to deploy a SpringMvcPortlet i got this error :
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':wars:mySpringMvcPortlet:compileClasspath'.
Could not find javax.validation:validation-api:.
Required by:
project :wars:SpringMvcPortletFormation
Could not find org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:.

Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html
Do you have an idea where my error is?

Answer 1

You have a dependency issue here, you have to manage all your dependency for the SpringMvcPortletFormationPossible project, and you need to put them properly in the build.gradle file,
So I recommand to add mavenLocal() to the repositories { } to be able to search all the local dependencies from the local repo and find them properly:
Example:
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath group: "com.liferay", name: "com.liferay.gradle.plugins", version: "3.13.8"
}
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
url "https://repository-cdn.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
}
}
}
apply plugin: "com.liferay.plugin"
dependencies { .... // your dependency here // .... }
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
url "https://repository-cdn.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
}
}
