info api not showing git info with gradle-git-properties plugin in grails 4 app - grails

Question

I am trying to get git commit details as part of "/actuator/info" api end point using the gradle-git-properties plugin by following https://guides.grails.org/adding-commit-info/guide/index.html guide but having no luck with it. Steps I followed:
"sdk install grails 4.0.8" //installing latest grails 4 version using sdkman
"sdk use grails 4.0.8" //making sure my current shell is using latest version as well
"grails create-app myapp --profile=rest-api" //creating a dummy app
"cd myapp" //change working dir to the new app
"git init" //initializing git
As per the guide I updated the build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url "https://repo.grails.org/grails/core" }
maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.grails:grails-gradle-plugin:$grailsVersion"
classpath "org.grails.plugins:hibernate5:7.0.4"
classpath "org.grails.plugins:views-gradle:2.0.2"
classpath "gradle.plugin.com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties:gradle-git-properties:2.2.0"
}
}
version "0.1"
group "myapp"
apply plugin:"eclipse"
apply plugin:"idea"
apply plugin:"war"
apply plugin:"org.grails.grails-web"
apply plugin:"org.grails.plugins.views-json"
apply plugin: "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties"
Also updated the application.yml file to enable actuator end points
management:
endpoints:
enabled-by-default: true
run the application using ./gradlew bootRun
I see that the git.properties file is correctly generated and placed under "build/resources/main" folder within the project folder.
But when I hit "http://localhost:8080/actuator/info" in browser, all I see is:
{"app":{"grailsVersion":"4.0.8","version":"0.1","name":"myapp"}}
But no git related info.

Solution has been provided by #virtualdogbert here : https://github.com/n0mer/gradle-git-properties/issues/161#issuecomment-936544990
Basically we have to set path to the git.properties file for dev env:
environments {
development{
spring.info.git.location='file:build/resources/main/git.properties'
}
}
