Getting "unable to resolve class" error message

[Full name]

Using: Java 8, version 1.25 of SnakeYAML

I’m getting the following error message after updating my gradle build file to use SnakeYAML:

Could not compile build file 'C:\…\build.gradle'.

startup failed:
build file 'C:\…\build.gradle': 66: unable to resolve class org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml
@ line 66, column 13.
def cfg = new org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml().load( new File("application.yaml").newInputStream() )

Within the “dependencies” section of the build file, I have this:

compile 'org.yaml:snakeyaml:1.25'

and there’s also the following task, that tries to instantiate the ‘Yaml’ class:

task testMe( ){
  def cfg = new org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml().load( new File("application.yaml").newInputStream() )
  doLast {
    println "make "
    println "profile =  ${cfg.spring.profiles.active}"
    assert cfg.spring.profiles.active == "local"
  }
}

1. check your classpath.
2. check that YOUR version of JAR does have the class (the archive should not be broken)

This is not issue for SnakeYAML
