Issue

  • When trying to build a custom portlet for a quarterly release version, the build fails with the following error:
  • persistenceField is null

Environment

  • com.liferay.gradle.plugins.workspace version is less than 10.0.0

Resolution

  • Visit your Liferay Workspace based on Gradle then edit the file settings.gradle and update the version of the com.liferay.gradle.plugins.workspace to 10.0.0 at least. This is mandatory because starting from this version the quarterly releases got supported.
  • In the same Liferay Workspace, edit the file gradle.properties and set liferay.workspace.product=dxp-2024.q1.1. You may also pick any other quarterly release you want.
