I am trying to make a discord bot and export the jar with shadow jar.

This is my project strucutre

 my build.gradle file:

 plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'application'
    id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '2.0.4'
}

mainClassName = "Main"

group 'de.max'
version '1.0'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.6.0'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine'
    compile 'net.dv8tion:JDA:4.2.0_247'
}
test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

when I try to execute it get this error: (It says i didnt set the property mainClassName, but I did)

Solution

  • You should update the shadow plugin. The latest version can be found on github.

    id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '6.0.1'

    I highly recommend to follow the JDA Setup Guide.
