Gradle resolves any dependency version conflicts by selecting the latest version found in the dependency graph.Some projects might need to divert from the default behavior and enforce an earlier version of a dependency e.g. if the source code of the project depends on an older API of a dependency than some of the external libraries.
Using a strict version must be carefully considered, in particular by library authors.As the producer, a strict version will effectively behave like a force: the version declaration takes precedence over whatever is found in the transitive dependency graph.In particular, a strict version will override any other strict version on the same module found transitively.

I had a similar situation where one of the dependencies used spring-web 4.2.4 which was broken. You have to force specific library version you want. As mentioned in another comment, it might cause compatibility issues but sometimes is necessary.
Rather than maintain individual version numbers in the build.gradle I use a dependencies.gradle file which will have a mapping of version numbers and pull that into the build.gradle. That way I only need to maintain the single guava version. So your example will be:
That will make sure both of them are on 17.0. It's simpler than trying to force both of them on the older version and as an added bonus you get a newer version, which (probably) comes with bug fixes and new features.
The idea of strict locking used together with component metadata rules to express my intent to use particular version of dependencies looks very interesting. My use case is build for MapReduce jobs. There is a set of dependencies starting with org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-* that transitively brings various commons libs, guava, logging, zookeeper, and more to my projects. I can get the real set of those dependencies when I run hadoop classpath on a cluster and want to tweak my Gradle build to use them.
So far so good but I am afraid that component metadata rules affecting every configuration are risk for my build. It means configuration like checkstyle, whole group of Scala related configurations (zinc, incrementalScala*), handfull of Python related configurations from PyGradle plugin can be affected.
Does it mean that I should go with strict version + force?
This tells me that commons-io v2.6 is a dependency of an internal library that we used between teams. Now I could have waited for the team responsible for maintaining this internal library to patch it themselves, but that would mean blocking my CI pipeline from further deployments for an unknown period of time. Instead, I need a way to force-upgrade this dependency to a patched version until the maintainers patch their library as well.
Dependency constraints is the easiest (and the recommended) way to force resolve a particular version of a transitive dependency. Constraints apply on all direct and transitive dependencies defined in a project.
Something you could try if all of your Typescript files are isolated to a given subdirectory, you can use the projectBaseDir property to tell the action to start from another directory (where no build.gradle file is found)
Where I work we have apps that were built with older versions of gradle and still need support. Yet because every major upgrade of studio forces a project update, we are have to use two different IDEs. I don't understand why the developers of Android Studio do this. Doesn't gradle have a mechanism to support building with older versions? Anyone have any insight as to why?
Unfortunately, none of these solutions gave clear reasons for the version downgrade.When excluding the dependency, it is not clear whether you meant that your usage of org.optaplanner:optaplanner-core:7.24.0.Final does not require Guava or if you only did it for its side effects on the resolved version.If instead, you chose to force a particular version of the dependency, the information would not be available to the consumers of your library, which can be as simple as a different project in your multi project build, who would then be exposed to the same incompatibility you resolved.
3. ConclusionThe tutorial has illustrated us how to refresh or redownload dependencies in Gradle by three different ways. And we can see that the first way which forces Gradle to go to the network to re-evaluate and re-fetch all dependency metadata, is the simplest and easiest way.
Sometimes we want to force a reload of the whole project, so that IntelliJ IDEA uses the Gradle settings to set up and build the project. This can be particularly useful after a large batch of external changes, or if the project is not behaving the way we expect.
As part of the Salesforce Wear Developer Pack for Android Wear I created a Gradle plugin that fetches and deploys Salesforce code (Apex). Gradle is the default build tool for Android but it can also be used with many other languages. For instance, here is an example build.gradle file for a project that fetches all of the Apex classes and Visualforce pages:
The unpackagedComponents definition uses the Salesforce Metadata Types and pulls everything specified down into the src/main/salesforce/unpackaged directory when you run the forceMetadataFetch Gradle task. The forceMetadataDeploy Gradle task deploys everything in the src/main/salesforce/unpackaged directory to Salesforce.
I think it would help if Intellij (I love my new Ultimate Edition btw!) would generate this into the gradle file when you start a kotlin/gradle project. I guess with the coroutines being in a different dependency still this problem will get worse before it gets better.
Tip clean to force Gradle to execute a task:
When running a Gradle task, Gradle will try to figure out if the task needs running at all. If Gradle determines that the output of the task will be same as the previous time, it will not runthe task. For example, it will not build the JAR file again if the relevant source files have not changedsince the last time the JAR file was built. If we want to force Gradle to run a task, we can combinethat task with clean. Once the build files have been cleaned, Gradle has no way to determine ifthe output will be same as before, so it will be forced to execute the task.
compileJava
Checks whether the project has the required dependencies to compile and run the main program, and download any missing dependencies before compiling the classes.
See build.gradle -> allprojects -> dependencies -> compile for the list of dependencies required.
compileTestJava
Checks whether the project has the required dependencies to perform testing, and download any missing dependencies before compiling the test classes.
See build.gradle -> allprojects -> dependencies -> testCompile for the list of dependencies required.
Where VERSION is the version listed as the value for pom.version in gradle.properties. Note that when using the release versions from Maven Central, drop the :debug aar part. When using a "release" version that you build locally with gradle, you'll need :debug aar instead.
While developing android application sometimes you may have faced dependency version conflict error during gradle build. If you are not familiar with the gradle build system and its dependency management then you might get stuck due to this.
But how you will get to know which transitive depedency creating the problem in your project?Well, you find it using ./gradle androidDependencies command. If you are using gradle wrapper then you can use gradlew instead of gradle.
From above dependency tree, we can see that Lib A having a dependency on LibC v1.2 and Lib B also having a same dependency on Lib C but different version v1.3. So now it might be clear to you why gradle was failing your build and throwing conflict error.
I hope that now you might be able to resolve your version conflict issue. You can also read the official gradle docs for more information. If you are still facing any problem or have some suggestion please comment.
When using the type unsafe API, all methods accepting alias references can now use the same string as the alias definition. This means that you can declare and reference groovy-json instead of being forced to use groovy.json in the type unsafe API.
The Kotlin script compilation has traditionally been slower than Groovy script compilation in many situations. Gradle 8.0 can make Kotlin script compilation up to 20% faster by introducing an interpreter for the declarative plugins blocks in .gradle.kts scripts. Calling the Kotlin compiler for declarative plugins blocks is avoided by default.
For instance, the [asciidoctorj-gems-plugin]( -gradle-plugin/master/user-guide/#asciidoctorj-gems-plugin) plugin adds a custom extension. You no longer need withGroovyBuilder and instead have this succinct syntax:
In windows, This folder is located in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.gradle\cacheIn Linux, you can find it in the user home directory $userhome/.gradle/caches/on Windows, You can manually delete the .gradle/caches/ folder and do a fresh Gradle build and it downloads dependencies from scratch.on Linux, You can use the below run commandrm -rf $userhome/.gradle/caches/The only drawback is, that if your Gradle project has a lot of dependencies, You have to download all dependencies for the first time and it is time taking process.
