Unable to get classpath in Gradle - gradle

Question

I need to get the classpath for our Java project in the build.gradle file. I have seen answers saying to use sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath or configurations.runtime.asPath but those don't work.
When I try:
task fortify(type: Exec) {
def classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
}
Running gradle fortify results in Could not get unknown property 'sourceSets' for task ':fortify' of type org.gradle.api.tasks.Exec.
When I try:
task fortify(type: Exec) {
def classpath = configurations.runtime.asPath
}
Running gradle fortify results in Could not get unknown property 'runtime' for configuration container of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultConfigurationContainer.

Answer 1

So we actually have 2 build.gradle files. One of them is at the top level of the project and contains few lines:
plugins {
id 'org.sonarqube' version '2.7.1'
id 'jacoco'
}
group = 'com.mycompany.project'
version = '1.0.1'
sonarqube {
properties {
property "sonar.sources", "ci-cd"
}
}
This is the file I added the task to, which didn't work.
Then in the main project folder, there is a subdirectory that contains another build.gradle file, a src folder, and some other things. This build.gradle file contains a lot more:
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.1.7.RELEASE'
id 'java'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.7.RELEASE'
}
group = 'com.mycompany.project.api'
version = '1.0.2'
sourceCompatibility = '11.0.4'
if (project.hasProperty('buildNum')) {
version(project.version + '.' + buildNum)
}
apply from: 'gradle/docker.gradle'
apply from: 'gradle/jlink.gradle'
apply from: '../gradle/artifactory.gradle'
springBoot {
buildInfo()
}
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://artifactory.mycompany.com/artifactory/dept-group-gradle-cache'
credentials {
username project.artifactory_user
password project.artifactory_apikey
}
}
}
dependencyManagement {
imports {
mavenBom 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Greenwich.RELEASE'
}
}
dependencies {
annotationProcessor "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-configuration-processor"
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'

}
bootJar.dependsOn 'cleanDocker'
copyDockerFiles.dependsOn 'bootJar'
copyDockerFiles.dependsOn 'packageJRE'
copyDockerFiles {
from files(bootJar)
from files(packageJRE.outputs)
into "${project.buildDir}/docker"
}
sonarqube {
properties {
property "sonar.sources", "src/main"
property "sonar.java.binaries", "src/main"
property "sonar.java.libraries", "/usr/java/latest/lib"
}
}
I added the task without (type: Exec) to this build.gradle file, and sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath.asPath successfully returned the classpath.
