Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 6.8.x, 6.9.x, or 7.x. The current version is Gradle 6.4 (On Gradle 7.4!)

I am using spring boot 2.6.2. The filter is wrong.

Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 6.8.x, 6.9.x, or 7.x. The current version is Gradle 6.4

--
And this is after i typed:
"gradle wrapper --gradle-version 7.4"

Which is weird because it's saying 6.4, but it should be detecting 7.4.

That seems strange. If you generate a project in https://start.spring.io/, it definitely works.

Any chance your project is/was in an old version of gradle and you tried ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.4 ? If that's the case it might be expected since Gradle won't be able to configure your project due to the spring boot gradle plugin check and won't be able to execute the Wrapper task. In that case, changing the gradle-wrapper.properties file directly to 7.4 might be the way to go.

Also, the logic is owned by spring boot and not really Gradle itself -> https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/main/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-tools/spring-boot-gradle-plugin/src/main/java/org/springframework/boot/gradle/plugin/SpringBootPlugin.java#L99-L105

Ah. This does work, and changing the property file directly works too!

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.4

Seems like the problem is solved, pls. let us know otherwise.

Hmm, I still think it may be gradle

private void verifyGradleVersion() {
	GradleVersion currentVersion = GradleVersion.current();
	if (currentVersion.compareTo(GradleVersion.version("6.8")) < 0) {
		throw new GradleException("Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 6.8.x, 6.9.x, or 7.x. "
				+ "The current version is " + currentVersion);
	}
}

If this says 6.4, then GradleVersion.current() is what is returning that value.

Are you sure you are running the wrapper (gradlew with a w) and not a manually downloaded distribution (gradle with no w) you have put in your path variable?

[elmsleypass]

Ah! You are right, sorry for the confusion. my installed gradle happened to be 6.4. After updating that version, I have no issues. Thanks!
