Gradle fails to resolve java-compiler-ant-tasks for Rider plugin

[r-bennett]

I'm trying to get started writing an Intellij platform plugin for Rider as per https://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/tutorials/build_system/prerequisites.html#creating-a-gradle-based-intellij-platform-plugin-with-new-project-wizard and https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/sdk/Products/Rider.html#plugin-project-jvm

My build.gradle is:

plugins {
    id 'org.jetbrains.intellij' version '0.4.9'
}

group 'co.uk.my_company'
version '1.0'

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'
}

intellij {
    type = 'RD'
    version '2019.1.2'
    downloadSources = false
}
patchPluginXml {
    changeNotes """
      Add change notes here.<br>
      <em>most HTML tags may be used</em>"""
}

The runIde task then gives me the following error:

12:17:18: Executing task 'runIde'...

:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:patchPluginXml

Have tried a few different Rider versions, but I can't see any com.jetbrains.intellij.rider build numbers which have a matching com.jetbrains.intellij.java:java-compiler-ant-tasks version available on https://www.jetbrains.com/intellij-repository/releases

It runs fine as an IDEA plugin.

Looks similar to #369 and #361 but for Rider rather than CLion

@r-bennett did you have any luck with this? I'm getting the same issue, tried will all kind of Rider versions

[liiri]

I managed to find how to work around this problem. Add the following section to your build.gradle

instrumentCode {
    compilerVersion = "192.6817.32" // latest build of com.jetbrains.intellij.java from https://www.jetbrains.com/intellij-repository/releases/
}

Full working plugin example: https://github.com/ReallyLiri/interface-pairing-rider-plugin

will be fixed in the next update for Rider-2019.3-SNAPSHOT and all further releases. For previous builds please use the workaround described in the comments above.
