Bintray: Could not create package HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request [message:License '[' does not exist]

I am trying to publish the first release of the Overpass library to Bintray/jCenter using the gradle-bintray-plugin v.1.5. I prepared the configuration on this temporary branch:

I did not prepare anything on the Bintray website besides an account on which I published before. So I also have a bintrayUser and bintrayApiKey in place for Gradle. Please tell me if I need to manually setup something beforehand. - Then, I run the following command:

$ ./gradlew clean assemble bintrayUpload

This fails with this error:

Execution failed for task ':bintrayUpload'.
> Could not create package 'tbsprs/maven/Overpass': HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request [message:License '[' does not exist]

Can you spot the mistake?

Solution

  • I managed to release the library by temporarily replacing:

    licenses = project.packageLicenses

    with 

    licenses = ['Apache-2.0']

    Note that I use gradle.properties to maintain these values in one place.
    I already reported this behavior and hope the bug is fixed soon.

    Here is the follow up issue for this case:
