I got the another error on my task
Could not find method leftShift() for arguments [build_bgxz5hqqyaou0yisyrls117t1$_run_closure4@797c2924] on task ‘:app:askForPasswords’ of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

Could not find method leftShift()

The error message “could not find method leftshift()” typically occurs in programming when you’re trying to use a method that doesn’t exist or isn’t recognized in the context where you’re trying to use it. The leftshift() method is not a standard method in most programming languages, so this issue could arise from a few different scenarios:

1. Groovy or Gradle Context:

• In Groovy, the leftShift operator (<<) is sometimes used, and the error could indicate a missing or incorrectly implemented method.
• In Gradle build scripts (which are written in Groovy), this operator is commonly used for appending to collections or performing other operations. The error might occur if the operator is used inappropriately.

2. Custom Method or Extension:

• If you’re working in a language like Java, Kotlin, or another JVM-based language, and you’re trying to use a leftshift() method, it could be that this method is intended to be a custom extension or utility method that hasn’t been defined in your code.

3. Python or Ruby Context:

• In Python, there is a left shift operator << for bitwise operations, but no leftshift() method.
• In Ruby, you can define custom methods, but leftshift() would not be a built-in method and would need to be defined in your class.

Solutions:

1. Check the Context:

   • Ensure you’re using the correct method or operator for the task. If you’re in Groovy, make sure you’re applying the << operator correctly.

2. Define the Method:

   • If you intended to use a leftshift() method, define it in your class or object.
   • Example in Java:

     public int leftshift(int value, int positions) {
         return value << positions;
     }
     

   • Example in Python:

     def leftshift(value, positions):
         return value << positions
     

3. Review Documentation:

   • Check the official documentation of the framework or language you’re working with to see if there is an existing method that you intended to use.

4. Typo or Misuse:

   • Double-check your code for typos or incorrect usage of methods and operators.

If you provide more context about the language or framework you’re using, I can offer more specific guidance.

task askForPasswords <<
 {
	def storePass
	def keyAlias
	def keyPass

Replace with

task askForPasswords 
doLast {
	def storePass
	def keyAlias
	def keyPass

@zaasmi Could not find method doLast() for arguments [build_bgxz5hqqyaou0yisyrls117t1$_run_closure4@489fe849] on project ‘:app’ of type org.gradle.api.Project.

Change the gradle version according to app.
