Error is 
  Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object 'org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.dsl.ArtifactoryPluginConvention@9bb457' with class 'org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.dsl.ArtifactoryPluginConvention' to class 'org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.dsl.ArtifactoryPluginConvention'

My build.gradle is

buildscript {
repositories {
    maven {
        url "http://repo.jfrog.org/artifactory/gradle"
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '2.0.12')
    }
}   
}

   apply plugin: 'artifactory'
   artifactoryPublish.skip = true

my gradle version is :gradle-1.0-milestone-8a

stackTrace is :

I'm using teamcity 7.1 to run the build

Answer 1

Looks like a class loading problem. Maybe the plugin version isn't compatible with the Gradle version that you are using. I recommend to ask the authors of the plugin. Also let them know the Gradle version and the full stack trace (-S).

Answer 2

OK, I got it :) Please check that " Project uses the Artifactory Gradle Plugin" checkbox is selected when running the project that actually use artifactory plugin.

Answer 3

If you have this problem running a job in jenkins then the problem may be caused by a bug in jenkins: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-16603

The workaround in my case was removing the --init-script argument as the bug reporter has suggested.
