[SOLVED]Won't build after adding dependency to build.gradle

[Hazmatik]

I am trying to add CoFH Core and RedstoneFlux as dependencies in the build.gradle for my mod following the same way ThermalExpansion does it in their build.gradle, but when I run setupDecompWorkspace the build fails and it gives this error.

Could not get unknown property 'config' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Her is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven" }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:2.3-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge'
//Only edit below this line, the above code adds and enables the necessary things for Forge to be setup.


version = "1.0"
group = "com.yourname.modid" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = "modid"

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = '1.8' // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly.
compileJava {
    sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = '1.8'
}

minecraft {
    version = "1.12.2-14.23.2.2611"
    runDir = "run"
    
    // the mappings can be changed at any time, and must be in the following format.
    // snapshot_YYYYMMDD   snapshot are built nightly.
    // stable_#            stables are built at the discretion of the MCP team.
    // Use non-default mappings at your own risk. they may not always work.
    // simply re-run your setup task after changing the mappings to update your workspace.
    mappings = "snapshot_20171003"
    // makeObfSourceJar = false // an Srg named sources jar is made by default. uncomment this to disable.
}

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "CoFH Maven"
        url = "http://maven.covers1624.net"
    }
}
dependencies {
    deobfCompile "cofh:RedstoneFlux:${config.rf_mc_version}-${config.rf_version}:deobf"
    deobfCompile "cofh:CoFHCore:${config.mc_version}-${config.cofh_core_version}:deobf"
}

processResources {
    // this will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
    inputs.property "version", project.version
    inputs.property "mcversion", project.minecraft.version

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        include 'mcmod.info'
                
        // replace version and mcversion
        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version
    }
        
    // copy everything else except the mcmod.info
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        exclude 'mcmod.info'
    }
}

Issue solved

You need to key in the dependency versions manually, they don't get filled when the script runs

I'm still new to this myself, just took another look and you seem to have only taken one bit of their file, I suspect you will need this section and make sure you have the corresponding values in your properties file.

Thanks I did that and it worked except it appears CoFH Core requires JEI be added to dependencies also so I added the version of JEI it was looking for to dependencies and the JEI maven to repositories and it worked.
