Could not resolve dependency for renderiing plugin in Grails 3 - grails

Question

I added rendering plugin as dependency in build.gradle for my grails 3 project as mentioned in https://grails.org/plugin/rendering
compile ":rendering:1.0.0"
When I execute 'gradle dependencies',it says failed. It did not give me any error message but it says failed when the dependencies are listed.
These are the default repositories generated with project
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven { url "https://repo.grails.org/grails/core" }
}
I tried even this way but did not work
compile "rendering:rendering:1.0.0"
Let me know if I am missing anything or the syntax is wrong.

Answer 1

Version 1.0.0 of rendering plugin is not compatible with Grails 3. Compatible version is 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT and above.
compile "org.grails.plugins:rendering:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
in build.gradle should be good with the repository that is currently present.
With Grails 2.*, yes you would need to use this repo: http://repo.grails.org/grails/plugins/org/grails/plugins/rendering/1.0.0/.
maven { url "https://repo.grails.org/grails/plugins" }

We could resolve the dependency injection issue. There was some issue with the project we were working on.So, created a new project and it is working fine. Thankyou.
But we are still having issue with render method.We are calling the render method as below to get the generate the pdf. 'pdf' template is located atviews/render/_pdf.gsp
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
pdfRenderingService.render([template: '/render/pdf', model: [form:"Hello text"]],baos)
It is throwing the below exception. Can anyone let us know if we are calling render method in wrong way.
