gradle transitive dependencies download local ivy

Question

I have a project that i am coverting to gradle. the project has some dependencies like junit etc. The Jars for the dependencies get downloaded but the dependencies of those Jars are not downloaded. The build.gradle file is as follows

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'application'

repositories {
     ivy  {
        url 'http://localserver/repo'
        layout 'pattern', {
              artifact 'snapshot/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              artifact '3rd-party/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              artifact 'b2bdev/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              file 'snapshot/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
              file '3rd-party/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
        }
    }
}

targetCompatibility = sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6

dependencies {
    testCompile('test:project:17.20.SNAPSHOT') {
        transitive = true
    }
    testCompile('org.hibernate.common:hibernate-commons-annotations:4.0.1.Final') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.hibernate:hibernate-ehcache:4.1.2.Final') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.javassist:javassist:3.16.1-GA') {
        transitive = false
    }
    compileOnly('javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1') {
        transitive = false
    }
    compileOnly('dom4j:dom4j:1.6.1') {
        transitive = false
    }
}

Why is the Jars required by test:project:17.20.SNAPSHOT not downloaded ? this thing works with ant+ivy project

Update 1

I have added the ivy.xml file of test project

You've set transitive dependency resolution to "false"... – Esdraelon

@MarkO'Connor not for test:project:17.20 – Fourthclass

In that case check the ivy file belonging to that module and see if dependencies are listed. As it stands there is no way to reproduce your issue. – Esdraelon

@MarkO'Connor I have added the ivy file above – Fourthclass

@Fourthclass Would you please provide runnable file so that anyone can easily build and check? – Endothelioma

And all of the spring dependencies are hosted on you local repository server as well? – Panek

And what's the output of running gradlew dependencies on your project. This should give you a report on all (including transitive) project dependencies. – Panek

@Panek Every deoendency is hosted on Ivy and running gradlew dependencies says build successful but I don't see anything happening – Fourthclass

What version of gradle are you using? – Panek

It depends on how the 'test project' specify its dependencies i think. – Fluorine

I think it might be because your configuration in ivy.xml ties them up to compile default and in Gradle you use different configuration which is testCompile. – Fluorine

@Fourthclass even the bounty expired and you didn't gave it to anyone :) please consider reading stackoverflow.com/help/someone-answers – Fluorine

@InjuredThePatient Was AFK unfortunately – Fourthclass

Answer 1

I think it might be because of your configuration in ivy.xml ties them up to compile default and Gradle is trying to resolve default configuration which doesnt have anything declared.

You might try to: create a new configuration configurations.add("yourConf") and extend it from compile configurations.yourConf.extendsFrom(configurations.compile) and use it for test project

or extend the 'default' configuration from compile

configurations.add("default")
configurations.default.extendsFrom(configurations.compile)

or try to delete/change the conf from ivy.xml

if you're not able to to this you might want to play with some groovy to do it.

asNode().dependencies.dependency.findAll { it.@conf }.each { it.attributes().remove("conf") }

Fluorine

can you provide some details how to do that, as I am new to gradle – Fourthclass

Hmm, I did give you details already actually. Try to copy paste those 2 lines with configurations to your script. – Fluorine
