How Do I Run My WAR in Jetty using Gretty plugin?

Question

My current goal is to get gradle to start my web application running in a Jetty instance on my machine so that I can write Selenium tests against it. The Gretty plugin seems to be loading, but I haven't been able to find any actual instructions on how to create and configure a task to do that.

Part of the problem is that there is confusion with different versions and editions of the Gretty plugin. Just getting it to load in the first place was an exercise in trial-and-error.

I am trying to do the using Gradle 5.4.1 and Gretty 2.3.1, which I believe are the current versions (at this time).

I have three sub-projects "laoi" depends on "aofl" depends on "efl". The laoi build produces a WAR file. The task appRunWar seems to want to create and run its own WAR file, rather than using mine (at least that seems to be what's happening).

settings.gradle:

rootProject.name = 'aoi'
include 'cm', 'efl', 'aofl', 'laoi', 'uiTest'

build.gradle (laoi):

static def getDate() {
    return new Date().format('yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')
}

final String timepickerAddonVersion = '1.6.3'
final String datatablesVersion = '1.10.19'
final String jqueryUIVersion = '1.12.1'
final String jqueryVersion = '3.2.1'

if (null == System.properties['aoi.release'] || null == System.properties['aoi.iteration']) {
    if (null == System.env['RELEASE'] || null == System.env['ITERATION']) {
        ext.ITERATION = "un"
        ext.RELEASE = "dev"
    } else {
        ext.ITERATION = System.env['ITERATION']
        ext.RELEASE = System.env['RELEASE']
    }
} else {
    ext.ITERATION = System.properties['aoi.iteration']
    ext.RELEASE = System.properties['aoi.release']
}
System.setProperty('aoi.iteration', ext.ITERATION)
System.setProperty('aoi.release', ext.RELEASE)

if (null == System.properties['aoi.manifest']) {
    if (null == System.env['MANIFEST']) {
        System.out.println("Using default manifest name.")
        ext.MANIFEST = "aoiManifest"
        System.out.println("Manifest: ${ext.MANIFEST}")
    } else {
        ext.MANIFEST = System.env['MANIFEST']
    }
} else {
    ext.MANIFEST = System.properties['aoi.manifest']
}
System.setProperty('aoi.manifest', ext.MANIFEST)
System.out.println("Manifest: ${ext.MANIFEST}")

final String warFileName = 'aoi-'+ System.properties['aoi.release'] +'_'+ System.properties['aoi.iteration'] + ".war"
println "War file name: ${warFileName}"

final String sourceManifestName = "${ext.MANIFEST}.xml"
println "Source manifest name: ${sourceManifestName}"

def rootLibs = new File("${rootDir}/libs")

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    jcenter()
    flatDir {
        dirs "${rootDir}/libs"
    }
}


compileScala {
    dependsOn ":efl:test", ":aofl:test"
}

task copyManifest(type: Copy) {
    from('src/main/resources') {
        include sourceManifestName
        rename sourceManifestName, 'aoiManifest.xml'
    }
    into("${buildDir}/resources/main/bootstrap/liftweb")
}

task createVersionFile {
    dependsOn "processResources"
    doLast {
        new File("${buildDir}/resources/main/aoiVersion.conf").text = "AOI_VERSION=" + System.properties['aoi.release'] +'-'+ System.properties['aoi.iteration'] + " (" + getDate() + ")"
        new File("${buildDir}/resources/main/WebJarVersions.conf").text =
"""jQuery-Timepicker-Addon=$timepickerAddonVersion
datatables=$datatablesVersion
jquery=$jqueryVersion
jquery-ui=$jqueryUIVersion
jquery-ui-themes=$jqueryUIVersion
"""
    }
}

war {
    dependsOn ":aofl:test", "compileScala", "copyManifest", "processResources", "createVersionFile"
    setDestinationDirectory(rootLibs)

    setArchiveFileName(warFileName)

    from('${buildDir}/resources/main') {
        include '**/*.xml'
        into("classes")
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation project(":efl")
    implementation project(":aofl")
    implementation "org.webjars:jquery:$jqueryVersion"
    implementation "org.webjars:jquery-ui:$jqueryUIVersion"
    implementation "org.webjars:jquery-ui-themes:$jqueryUIVersion"
    implementation "org.webjars:datatables:$datatablesVersion"
    implementation "org.webjars:jQuery-Timepicker-Addon:$timepickerAddonVersion"
    implementation 'org.webjars:webjars-servlet-2.x:1.1'
}
