Hello I have copied that git rep for quelea but when i try to run it in my IntelliJ i get this:
Execution failed for task ‘:run’.

Consider using my fork. [Checkout this Quelea expansion pack build with Improvements and experimental features! - #6 by JessyJP](https://quelea.discourse.group/t/checkout-this-quelea-expansion-pack-build-with-improvements-and-experimental-features/1162/6)
Maybe it will work for you. If not it’s probably a gradle version issue. I redacted the gradle file to edit the version and managed to get it running.
In particular if you want to make any changes to the web remote, i strognly recommend this one.
