You're running into a combination of (arguably) inconsistent Gradle API and
some Groovy behaviour. War.excludes is a property, not a method, so Groovy
interprets your code as:
getExcludes().getAt('WebRoot...')
which does nothing (it will simply return null)
You want this:
excludes = [...]
or
exclude 'WebRoot...'
Before Gradle 1.0 is released, we'd like to go over the API and smooth out
problems like this. We might, for example, add an excludes(List<String>) method
for cases like this.
