Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 4.10 or later. The current version is Gradle 4.1

Question

I have a Spring Gradle project. I'm trying to make a build using gradle build command. But getting below error :

* Where:
Build file 'F:\MyProjectName\build.gradle' line: 2

* What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'org.springframework.boot', version: '2.2.2.RELEASE']
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'org.springframework.boot']
   > Spring Boot plugin requires Gradle 4.10 or later. The current version is Gradle 4.1

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

How to solve this? Thanks in advance.

If you're using the command gradle build, then you're not using the wrapper, and thus not using the version of gradle configured in the wrapper properties. You're using the global gradle version installed on your machine.

To use the gradle wrapper, use

./gradlew build

or, on Windows

.\gradlew.bat build

in your project root folder.
