Gradle 5.0 with Lombok and Spring Boot

I play with Lombok with Spring boot and Gradle. However, I struggled to figure out how to build the source code.

Issue

I wrote code that uses Lombok. As you can see, the code is no problem for Visual Studio Code with Lombok plugin.

Lombok with VSCode plugin

Lombok Annotations Support for VS Code - Visual Studio Marketplace

However, when I build it, I can’t compile it.

$ gradle build 
> Task :compileJava FAILED
/Users/ushio/Codes/Fujifilm/functions-distributed-tracing-sample/JavaSample/src/main/java/processor/Message.java:9: error: variable text not initialized in the default constructor
    private final String text;
                         ^

My gradle version is

$ gradle --version
