So I took the time earlier today to update my forge installation in my dev environment, and afterwards it seems to have broken building a new jar. I've checked my build.gradle to make sure the jars are in the right place, but it hasn't helped. I get a cannot find symbol on the mod that I use as an api. Never had this issue when building a new jar before updating.

 

 

build.gradle

Spoiler

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.natura.minestuckarsenal" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = "minestuckarsenal"

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

minecraft {
    version = "1.12.2-14.23.4.2705"
    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_20170624"
    // makeObfSourceJar = false // an Srg named sources jar is made by default. uncomment this to disable.
}

dependencies {
	compile files('libs/Minestuck-1.12.2-1.2.258.jar')
	compile files('libs/Baubles-1.12-1.5.2-api.jar')
	compile files('libs/CraftTweaker2-1.12-4.1.8.jar')
}

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'
    }
}

 

All three of these jars are located in libs/. I can compile from within eclipse just fine.  Any help would be appreciated

Post your code on Github. Are you building it through the command line or through your IDE?

Command line. I ended up just needing to change my gradle version, thanks for the help though

 

No problem, glad you got it to work.
