Failed Autowired of BuildProperties Spring Boot 2.1.5 & eclipse

Question

I'm creating a very simple application with a few REST API's and it's currently working correctly until I try to use the BuildProperties on my health check API. While starting my application I get the following error:

Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the conditions report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.
2019-06-17 09:54:29.210 ERROR 10796 --- [           main] o.s.b.d.LoggingFailureAnalysisReporter   : 

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Field buildProperties in com.controller.HealthCheck required a bean of type 'org.springframework.boot.info.BuildProperties' that could not be found.

The injection point has the following annotations:
    - @org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)

The following candidates were found but could not be injected:
    - Bean method 'buildProperties' in 'ProjectInfoAutoConfiguration' not loaded because @ConditionalOnResource did not find resource '${spring.info.build.location:classpath:META-INF/build-info.properties}'


Action:

Consider revisiting the entries above or defining a bean of type 'org.springframework.boot.info.BuildProperties' in your configuration.

I went to the build file and I also looked in the jar file created by the build and I see the build-info.properties is in fact there. In the jar file the path to the file is "BOOT-INF\classes\META-INF\". I also have other "Autowired" elements that are not having issues.

Where my code fails:

@RestController
public class HealthCheck {

    @Autowired
    Environment environment;

    @Autowired 
    BuildProperties buildProperties;


    @GetMapping("/health")
    public HealthCheckResponse healthCheck() {
        return getHealthCheckResponse();
    }

    private HealthCheckResponse getHealthCheckResponse(){
        HealthCheckResponse healthResponse = new HealthCheckResponse();
        String[] profiles = environment.getActiveProfiles();

        healthResponse.setServerTime(new Date());
        healthResponse.setVersion(buildProperties.getVersion());
        healthResponse.setEnvironment(profiles[0]);

        return healthResponse;
    }

My gradle build file:

plugins {
    id 'org.asciidoctor.convert' version '1.5.3'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.1.5.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
