springboot Gradle layered JARs option doesn't work in 2.3.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

Gradle layered JARs option doesn't work in 2.3.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT. It was layered() in 2.3.0.M3, but it seems to be changed to layers(). I tried with it, but it failed as follows:

$ ./gradlew clean bootJar

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/user/IdeaProjects/spring-boot-throwaway-branches/build.gradle' line: 44

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'spring-boot-throwaway-branches'.
> Could not find method layers() for arguments [] on task ':bootJar' of type org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.bundling.BootJar.

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

Thanks for the sample, @izeye. Unfortunately it works for me:

[$ minimal-layered-jar]: ./gradlew clean build

Note that I removed mavenLocal() from build.gradle to avoid a locally published snapshot from influencing the outcome of the build:

[$ minimal-layered-jar]: git diff

I wonder if that's what caused the problem in your case?

@wilkinsona Ah, you're right. I should have double-checked it. It was due to mavenLocal() in buildscript.repositories block: https://github.com/izeye/spring-boot-throwaway-branches/blob/947473fcb914e8439a644855a3d0164cd7534677/build.gradle#L3

Sorry for the noise.
