Research direction

Start with logstash-filter-java_filter_example/build.gradle at line 5 and compare its rubyUtils.gradle reference with the Logstash 6.6 checkout. Confirm which version should provide that file and verify that the example plugin builds against the intended Logstash version without relying on an incompatible copied file.

Description

I am getting this error when I try to build:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'PATH_TO_PROJECT_ROOT/my_logstash_plugin/logstash-filter-java_filter_example/build.gradle' line: 5

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'logstash-filter-java_filter_example'.
> Could not read script 'PATH_TO_PROJECT_ROOT/my_logstash_plugin/logstash-filter-java_filter_example/logstash-core/rubyUtils.gradle' as it does not exist.

The file seems to be in the logstash repository, but it doesn't exist for the version 6.6 code of logstash that I checked out.

I copied the raw file from the latest version of the logstash repository. It builds OK but I'm not sure if this is the correct solution...
