It looks like this only needs a new release, the changes are already made.

For now I just added the jar locally (like so)

[i-hyun]

we a Gradle rollback 5.6.2
wait for a new release.
Thank you :)

[aramosvizcarra]

I solved this issue switching to webpack and calling it in a custom gradle task:

task webpackBuild(type: Exec) {
    workingDir 'base/path'
    commandLine 'npm', 'run', 'build'
}

(jk) We may find solution to Covid-19 in a year but this project getting released in this timeframe is a far fetched thought.

[ChrisAcrobat]

Anyone that knows a workaround?

@eriwen Have you seen pull request #171?

[gbalthasar]

I got this js and the corresponding css plugin running with gradle 6.6.1

See my comment eriwen/gradle-css-plugin#58 (comment) for instructions.

No modification is needed, just clone, build and use at your gradle script

I forked and built the master branch with minor modifications. Some unit tests fail but minification works for me.
I uploaded a compiled jar for convenience.
See the top of the readme here: https://github.com/xtianus/gradle-js-plugin

I went down the webpack rabbit hole only to find pain and sorrow. I suggest that, if you want to use a non-java minifier, you try Terser instead https://www.npmjs.com/package/terser which is what webpack uses. Besides, with webpack you may actually end up with a larger file than the original...

Looks like this issue affects Gradle 7.+ as well (tested on 7.0.2 & 7.1.1)

For those looking for a similar solution which supports Gradle 6+, I migrated to:

Note that building the JAR yourself isn't necessarily required - see jenkinsci/job-dsl-plugin@6b7a8d8 for how I used the JitPack service
