Gradle build doesn't download dependencies
<p>After running <code>gradle build</code> in the root directory of my web app, the spring security dependency declared in <code>build.gradle</code> does not get downloaded.</p>
<p>here is my <code>build.gradle</code></p>
<pre><code>/*
 * This build file was auto generated by running the Gradle 'init' task
 * by 'hombod' at '7/19/16 4:19 PM' with Gradle 2.14.1

    // Use 'jcenter' for resolving your dependencies.
    // You can declare any Maven/Ivy/file repository here.

    // Declare the dependency for your favourite test framework you want to use in your tests.
    // TestNG is also supported by the Gradle Test task. Just change the
    // testCompile dependency to testCompile 'org.testng:testng:6.8.1' and add
    // 'test.useTestNG()' to your build script.
