Compatible with gradle 7.1 not working

[deanhiller]

I think it is a version issue. I ran into this when re-using the file https://github.com/shekhargulati/gradle-react-app/blob/master/build.gradle . I upgraded the version of the plugin to the latest and got this error ->

Could not find method layout() for arguments [pattern, com.moowork.gradle.node.task.SetupTask$_addRepository_closure5$_closure7@2a9dd171] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultIvyArtifactRepository

Inside my react-native project android is using gradle 7.2 so I was hoping to match that version.

I am seeing an exception like this too:

Caused by: org.gradle.internal.metaobject.AbstractDynamicObject$CustomMessageMissingMethodException: Could not find method layout() for arguments [pattern, com.moowork.gradle.node.task.SetupTask$_addRepository_closure5$_closure7@1251e743] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultIvyArtifactRepository.

Gradle 7.4.2.

There's more history in #315, but the short of it is that this repository is no longer actively developed and does not work with Gradle 7 (or even 6 I think)
Luckily there's a community fork that's actively developed and has Gradle 7 support https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin
