Gradle Plugin Test Project Build Failing

I downloaded the gradle plugin test project from their github here: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/master/subprojects/docs/src/samples/customPlugin

I also updated gradle to latest (4.7).

When I gradle build the consumer project, I get the following build error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project 'consumer'.

    Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'. Could not find org.gradle:customPlugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT. Searched in the following locations: file:/C:/Code/gradle/subprojects/docs/src/samples/customPlugin/repo/org/gradle/customPlugin/1.0-SNAPSHOT/maven- metadata.xml file:/C:/Code/gradle/subprojects/docs/src/samples/customPlugin/repo/org/gradle/customPlugin/1.0-SNAPSHOT/custom Plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.pom file:/C:/Code/gradle/subprojects/docs/src/samples/customPlugin/repo/org/gradle/customPlugin/1.0-SNAPSHOT/custom Plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar Required by: project :

What's the issue here? I guess I don't understand gradle plugins enough. Does the plugin need to be built somehow? I have no 1.0-SNAPSHOT pat or anything of the sort, which seems to be where its looking.

Does the plugin need to be built somehow ?

Yes, at first, otherwise the consumer project won't find it.

Inside the plugin project, just run gradle uploadArchive

And then retry a gradle build inside the consumer project
