unable to add qrcode grails plugin? - grails

Question

I started a brand new grails 2.2 app. I want to add qrcode plugin.
https://plugins.grails.org/plugin/technipelago/qrcode
the documentation says for grails 2 app use
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// ...
plugins {
compile ':qrcode:0.7'
// ...
}
}
here is my buildconfig after adding qrcode plugin
grails.servlet.version = "2.5" // Change depending on target container compliance (2.5 or 3.0)
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.war"
// uncomment (and adjust settings) to fork the JVM to isolate classpaths
//grails.project.fork = [
// run: [maxMemory:1024, minMemory:64, debug:false, maxPerm:256]
//]
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
// inherit Grails' default dependencies
inherits("global") {
// specify dependency exclusions here; for example, uncomment this to disable ehcache:
// excludes 'ehcache'
}
log "error" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
checksums true // Whether to verify checksums on resolve
legacyResolve false // whether to do a secondary resolve on plugin installation, not advised and here for backwards compatibility
repositories {
inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins
grailsPlugins()
grailsHome()
grailsCentral()
mavenCentral()
// uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable remote dependency resolution from public Maven repositories
//mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
//mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
//mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
}
dependencies {
// specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes e.g.
// runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.20'
}
plugins {
runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":jquery:1.8.3"
runtime ":resources:1.1.6"
build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"
runtime ":database-migration:1.2.1"
compile ':cache:1.0.1'
compile ':qrcode:0.7'
}
}
when i build
it says
|Loading Grails 2.2.0
|Configuring classpath
Error |
Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):
- org.grails.plugins:qrcode:0.7
I appreciate any help as to integrating qrcode plugin. I dont need latest version. I just need to make qrcode plugin to work. Old version will do.
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

First add local maven repo (mavenLocal()) to your in BuildConfig.groovy:
repositories {
inherits true
grailsPlugins()
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
Then add dependency in BuildConfig.groovy:
dependencies {
compile "org.grails.plugins:qrcode:0.7"
}
If by adding in dependency not work then add it to plugins:
plugins {
compile(':qrcode:0.7')
}
You can refer repo of this plugin where you can see available versions.
Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Try version 0.7.1
I looks
It is also for Grails 2.x and should load just fine by putting it in the plugins {} section like you did.
