Execution failed for task ':findMainClass'.

When using bootrun from Gradle window I get the error "Execution failed for task ':findMainClass'."

When I right click on AppConfig class and choose run... everything works as expected.

How can I set the path for Gradle to run the AppConfig.class as Main...

used this as my build file:

    plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'idea'
    id 'eclipse'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.1.7.RELEASE'
}

group 'com.teamtreehouse'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.1.7.RELEASE'
}
