Cannot install Photon vendor library

[Mr.R_2]

Hello,
This issue may be similar to others I have had, but I feel it is different enough to warrant a new post. I apologize if I am wrong with that.

I am trying to use the Photon simulator object described here.

However, I cannot get the vendor libraries to work. Here is the error I see.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':runtimeClasspath'.
   > Could not find org.photonvision:PhotonTargeting-java:v2021.1.5-4-g00b8e7d1.

* 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.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

I also tried running the code from the example libraries, but I cannot figure out how to make them work (which folder should be top-level for the build.gradle to function correctly).

Can you try entering the listed URLs (in a browser) to see if the artifacts are still up?

[Mr.R_2]

Thank you for the reply. I tried the last url, and it did not load correctly. However, I remembered (from one of my other issues), that the beta is not building on Windows.
So, I tried this Vendor dep file and built it while connected to the Internet, and it seems to work (it builds and runs the simulator perfectly).

        }
    ]
}

Edit: Actually, all of the urls gave 404 errors. So, I guess that would explain it. Thank you again for your help.

Happy to be of help.

I just had a few more moments to poke around, and it totally works. I am currently using the sample code from Photon’s repo. It is working perfectly out of the box. We drive a bit, press the button, and the robot moves to the desired range while lining up. This really is a helpful tool.
