I am trying to use querydsl with my spring-boot project. However, I cannot find a working example of using gradle with querydsl. Looking at this gist, I thought it would work. However, the line " querydslapt" is causing Gradle to fail:
Could not find method querydslapt() for arguments [com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-apt:3.3.2]
I tried changing back to an earlier version, but that failed also:
Could not find method querydslapt() for arguments [com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-apt:2.8.1]

The line that fails is this:
querydslapt "com.mysema.querydsl:querydsl-apt:2.8.1"

Can you tell me if this script does in fact work, and if so what does querydslapt() do?

@milehighcelt

are you sure have

configurations {
    querydslapt
}

How can I configure this for groovy based project?

I tried changing as following but MetaModels are not being generated for Entity class but empty directory structure is created.

task generateQueryDSL(type: GroovyCompile, group: 'build', description: 'Generates the QueryDSL query types') {
    source = sourceSets.main.groovy
    classpath = configurations.compile + configurations.querydslapt
    options.compilerArgs = [
            "-proc:only",
            "-processor", "com.mysema.query.apt.jpa.JPAAnnotationProcessor"
    ]
    destinationDir = sourceSets.generated.java.srcDirs.iterator().next()
}```

It would be too different to configure the task generateQueryDSL for MongoDB?

thx a lot!! very useful infomation
