Problem with using the Liquibase block in build.gradle

[DavidNovo]

Take a look at this fragment of build.gradle:

`
import org.liquibase.gradle.LiquibaseTask

buildscript {
ext {
. . . .
}
}

plugins {
id 'org.liquibase.gradle' version '2.2.0'
id 'org.springframework.boot' version "${springBootVersion}"
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version "${springDependencyManagementVersion}"
id 'war'
id 'jacoco'
id 'idea'
id 'org.sonarqube' version "${sonarVersion}"
id 'com.adarshr.test-logger' version '2.1.1'
id 'application'
}

version = "$proj_version"

sourceSets {
test {
java {
srcDirs = ['src/test/java']
}
}
}

dependencies {

implementation project(':task-common')

// spring
implementation "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator:$springBootVersion"

}

liquibase {
activities {
main {
changelogFile 'src/main/resources/db/changelog/db.changelog-master.yaml'
url 'jdbc:h2:mem:testdb;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1'
username 'sa'
password ''
}
}
}
...}
IntelliJ is giving me warnings that the 'main' in 'build' cannot be applied to '(groovy.lang.Closure)' . I ca still run and build the project but I still get that warning from IntelliJ. When I try to add a task to the build.gradle file like this:tasks.register('updateDatabase', LiquibaseTask) {
group = 'liquibase'
description = 'Update the database with the latest changes.'
activities.main.action = 'update'
}`

I can run 'gradle clan build' but if I try to run ' gradle rollbackDatabase' I get this error:
`> Could not create task ':task-dispatcher-service:rollbackDatabase'.

Could not get unknown property 'activities' for task ':task-dispatcher-service:rollbackDatabase' of type org.liquibase.gradle.LiquibaseTask.
`
Any way to fix this?

I get that warning too. I've never figured out why :-)

I haven't spent a lot of time on it because, as you said, it doesn't affect anything with the build, it is just an annoying squiggly line in the IDE.
