Which part do you need explained?

[nikolaymetchev]

Oh wait I get it...

[nikolaymetchev]

Any idea why I'm getting the following org.gradle.api.internal.initialization.DefaultClassLoaderScope@31aec3e7 must be locked before it can be used to compute a classpath!

[Czar]

maybe this: https://github.com/gradle/kotlin-dsl/issues/311

[nikolaymetchev]

I saw that but I've set org.gradle.configureondemand=false

[nikolaymetchev]

Its this fatJar task that seems to be causing it

[Czar]

Yep, that's a probability. Is there any particular reason you do not want to use a plugin?

[nikolaymetchev]

no reason. Is there an appropriate plugin I can use?

[nikolaymetchev]

Thanks for your help @Czar I have used shadowJar and it seems to be working very well.

Yes, sorry, only now got the notification. You're welcome! Glad it works for you now 🙂
