--------------------------------------

             Summary: gradle quickstart is out-of-date
                 Key: FLINK-24478
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24478
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.14.0
            Reporter: David Anderson
            Assignee: Nico Kruber


The gradle quickstart, as described in the docs, and produced by
  
 {{bash -c "$(curl [https://flink.apache.org/q/gradle-quickstart.sh])" – 1.14.0 _2.11}}

is out of date, and it has some obvious errors. E.g., it defines scalaBinaryVersion as '_2.11', and then has

{{flinkShadowJar "org.apache.flink:flink-connector-kafka-0.11_${scalaBinaryVersion}:${flinkVersion}"}}

which is both ancient and includes the _ again. (I realize now that the extra _ actually comes from the bash command I copied from the docs, so the docs need to be fixed as well.)

The quickstart also doesn't produce a gradlew script, and if I try

{{gradle build}}

I get this output:

{{$ gradle build
 Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
 * Where:
 Build file '/Users/david/stuff/quickstart/build.gradle' line: 41

 * What went wrong:
 A problem occurred evaluating root project 'quickstart'.
 > Cannot add task 'wrapper' as a task with that name already exists}}
