NoTransporterException when uploading with Gradle to Nexus - gradle

Question

I am using Gradle (2.13) and trying to upload the jars into a Nexus (2.13.0-01) repository. When running "gradle uploadArchives", I get the following exception:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':communication-server:uploadArchives'.

My gradle configuration (relevant excerpt):
//internal nexus repository for dependencies
repositories {
maven { url "${nexusUrl}/content/repositories/central/" }
}
//nexus repo upload
configurations {
deployerJars
}
dependencies {
deployerJars "org.apache.maven.wagon:wagon-http:2.2"
}
uploadArchives {
repositories {
mavenDeployer {
configuration = configurations.deployerJars
repository(url: "${nexusUrl}/content/repositories/releases") {
authentication(userName: nexusUsername, password: credentials.nexuspdw)
}
snapshotRepository(url: "${nexusUrl}/content/repositories/snapshots") {
authentication(userName: nexusUsername, password: credentials.nexuspdw)
}
pom.version = project.version
pom.artifactId = project.name
pom.groupId = project.group
}
}
}
Downloading my dependencies from Nexus works fine. It is also not a credentials/permissions issue since the uploading of the archives works on my local developer machine. What does this error mean and how can I upload my artifacts into Nexus? Any help really appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the solution. The issue was cause by an incomplete gradle installation. It was missing the aether-plugins for the repository transport.
I was using the standard Debian gradle 2.13 package (apt-get install gradle), which does not contain all plugins. Removing the installation and using the Ubuntu Gradle 2.13 package fixed my problem.

Answer 2

I could fix this problem in an existing project by using gradle wrapper for build and uploadArchives commands.
./gradlew build
./gradlew uploadArchives
If your project does not have gradle wrapper configured, execute this command to configure gradle wrapper in your projects:
gradle wrapper
this command generates gradlew scripts and some directories with wrapper binaries.
Not sure what was broken and what got fixed but it started working though.
Might be worth a try.
