    CONFIGURE FAILED in 21s

Environment

  • Liferay 7.2
  • Liferay 7.3
  • Liferay 7.4

Resolution

  • One of the instances of this error is due to  https://release.liferay.com/ site being down while using liferay.workspace.product=dxp-7.2-sp3 (or any workspace project)
  • Users can manage to work around this issue, by using the 'bom' file instead of the API. In gradle.properties file, change liferay.workspace.product=dxp-7.2-sp3 to liferay.workspace.target.platform.version=7.2.10.3 
     
    liferay.workspace.target.platform.version=7.2.10.3
  • And, set the setting.gradle to use the latest workspace plugin:
    buildscript {
     dependencies {
     classpath group: "biz.aQute.bnd", name: "biz.aQute.bnd", version: "5.2.0"
     classpath(group: "com.liferay", name: "com.liferay.gradle.plugins.workspace", version: "9.1.5") {
     exclude group: "biz.aQute.bnd", module: "biz.aQute.bnd"
     }
     classpath group: "net.saliman", name: "gradle-properties-plugin", version: "1.4.6"
     }

     repositories {
     maven {
     url "https://repository-cdn.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
     }

     maven {
     url "https://repository.liferay.com/nexus/content/groups/public"
     }
     }
    }

    apply plugin: "net.saliman.properties"

    apply plugin: "com.liferay.workspace"
    Note: After changing the workspace plugin version, if an error occurs during the build, adjust the version to match your workspace by referring to this link.
