How to define 'LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH'?

[zhihui-ge]

Could not get unknown property 'LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
Open File

compile fileTree(dir: LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH, include: "**/logstash-core-?.?.?.jar")

@zhihui-ge, thank you for trying the new codec API. Unfortunately, it was the last part of the API to get full documentation, so the instructions for defining LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH were not included in this release but will be included in the upcoming 6.7 release of Logstash.

Briefly, you need to create a file named gradle.properties that defines LOGSTASH_CORE_PATH as the path to a local copy of the Logstash codebase. This is properly documented for the filter plugin at the link below if you wish to refer to that:

I'm going to close this issue for now, but if you have any other problems, please let us know either with an issue here or by posting a question in this forum thread: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ama-java-plugins-in-logstash/171535
