We are trying to update the Apache Groovy dependency to the version v4.0.12. Please checkout to branch upgrade/groovy.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Update the groovyVersion Gradle property to 4.0.12.
2. Try to build the project.

Expected Behaviour

The project should be able to resolve the dependencies

Actual Behaviour

The project could not resolve org.apache.groovy:groovy-bom:4.0.12 with following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

@paulk-asert Could you please take a quick look at this?

[matrei]

@puneetbehl Could it be that the dependencies have to be upgraded to Groovy 4 first?

[paulk-asert]

I somehow suspect you are bumping into this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10543 Which should be fixed from 4.0.2 (so bumping from 4.0.2 to 4.0.12 should work) but perhaps some earlier version is being brought in somewhere. Groovy 4.0.0/4.0.1 tried to be both a platform and a library but that seemed to break more things than solve things. Are there any references to groovy-all still trying to reference it as platform? I'll try to look further in a couple of days.

This is working on https://github.com/grails/grails-gsp/tree/7.0.x

It has come up several times while doing dependency substitution and the workaround was exclude groovy-bom from the substitution
