I'm having issues with HTTP and HTTPS protocols

James Alley :

I am brand spankin' new to coding. In fact, I've learned all I know about gradle through experimentation trying to make this stuff work. I am trying to build a .jar file from an old github file and for the past week, I've been trying in and out to get this thing to work and it always spits out errors. I am currently closer than ever to building this thing - except there's a problem.

While I try to build my jar file, I am getting the error: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'. And a lot of feedback, shown below.

PS J:\MC\MC2\.minecraft\mods\ElectricalAge-releases-1.12\ElectricalAge-releases-1.12> .\gradlew

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'ElectricalAge-releases-1.12'.

This makes me so sad. I've come so far and get stopped because my gradle cannot access these websites as they require HTTPS protocols while my gradle is trying to access them with HTTP protocols.

I'm guessing this is because when this file was made, gradle had not yet switched over to being forced into using HTTPS. I've gone through all the settings files I could find and changed all dependencies to HTTPS links, and to no avail.

Keep in mind I'm a noob to code so you'll have to walk me through everything. Here are my file directories inside the github file.

File directories

Thanks if you can help. And also, I did not write any of these files. They were all written by the authors on github: https://github.com/Electrical-Age/ElectricalAge/tree/releases/1.12

dnault :

You're right, the problem is due to the very old Gradle version used in the releases/1.12 branch of that repo.

The version of Gradle used by the gradlew command is determined by the file gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. If you edit that file and change the distributionUrl property to use gradle-4.4-all.zip (like in develop branch of this repo) instead of gradle-2.0-all.zip, you should be able to at least build the project.
