Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.grails.plugins:ckeditor:zip:3.6.6.1.0

Question

This has been a recurring problem from time to time even with no changes to BuildConfig.groovy.

I have the following in the plugins section of BuildConfig:

compile ":weceem:1.2"

This has a dependency to ckeditor-3.6.6.1.0 which produced the error:

Resolve error obtaining dependencies: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.grails.plugins:ckeditor:zip:3.6.6.1.0

I have worked around this before by placing compile ":ckeditor:3.6.6.1.1" in the same section as the code above as per this bug issued, which did actually work for some time.

Now, however, I'm getting the same error again even with the reference to ckeditor 3.6.6.1.1.

Here is the output from dependency-report:

Answer 1

Try to use the latest version of Weceem, weceem-1.3-M1. Also, pay attention that in BuildConfig.groovy we need to have additional repository:

mavenRepo "http://repo.grails.org/grails/core"

In the latest release we have plugin ckeditor-4.4.1.0.
