ResolutionStrategy

SortOrder

Defines the sort order for components and artifacts produced by the configuration.

activateDependencyLocking

Activates dependency locking support in Gradle. Once turned on on a configuration, resolution result can be saved and then reused for subsequent builds. This enables reproducible builds when using dynamic versions.

cacheChangingModulesFor

Sets the length of time that changing modules will be cached, with units expressed as a String.

A convenience method for #cacheChangingModulesFor(int, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit) with units expressed as a String. Units are resolved by calling the valueOf(String) method of java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit with the upper-cased string value.

Sets the length of time that changing modules will be cached.

Gradle caches the contents and artifacts of changing modules. By default, these cached values are kept for 24 hours, after which the cached entry is expired and the module is resolved again.

Use this method to provide a custom expiry time after which the cached entries for any changing module will be expired.

cacheDynamicVersionsFor

Sets the length of time that dynamic versions will be cached, with units expressed as a String.

A convenience method for #cacheDynamicVersionsFor(int, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit) with units expressed as a String. Units are resolved by calling the valueOf(String) method of java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit with the upper-cased string value.

Sets the length of time that dynamic versions will be cached.

Gradle keeps a cache of dynamic version => resolved version (ie 2.+ => 2.3). By default, these cached values are kept for 24 hours, after which the cached entry is expired and the dynamic version is resolved again.

Use this method to provide a custom expiry time after which the cached value for any dynamic version will be expired.

componentSelection

The componentSelection block provides rules to filter or blacklist certain components from appearing in the resolution result.

dependencySubstitution

Configures the set of dependency substitution rules for this configuration. The action receives an instance of DependencySubstitutions which can then be configured with substitution rules.

Examples:

 // add dependency substitution rules configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution { // Substitute project and module dependencies substitute module('org.gradle:api') with project(':api') substitute project(':util') with module('org.gradle:util:3.0') // Substitute one module dependency for another substitute module('org.gradle:api:2.0') with module('org.gradle:api:2.1') } } 

eachDependency

Adds a dependency substitution rule that is triggered for every dependency (including transitive) when the configuration is being resolved. The action receives an instance of DependencyResolveDetails that can be used to find out what dependency is being resolved and to influence the resolution process. Example:

 configurations { compile.resolutionStrategy { eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details -> //specifying a fixed version for all libraries with 'org.gradle' group if (details.requested.group == 'org.gradle') { details.useVersion '1.4' } } eachDependency { details -> //multiple actions can be specified if (details.requested.name == 'groovy-all') { //changing the name: details.useTarget group: details.requested.group, name: 'groovy', version: details.requested.version } } } } 

failOnVersionConflict

In case of conflict, Gradle by default uses the newest of conflicting versions. However, you can change this behavior. Use this method to configure the resolution to fail eagerly on any version conflict, e.g. multiple different versions of the same dependency (group and name are equal) in the same Configuration. The check includes both first level and transitive dependencies. See example below:

 apply plugin: 'java' //so that there are some configurations configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.failOnVersionConflict() } 

force

Allows forcing certain versions of dependencies, including transitive dependencies. Appends new forced modules to be considered when resolving dependencies.

It accepts following notations:

• String in a format of: 'group:name:version', for example: 'org.gradle:gradle-core:1.0'
• instance of ModuleVersionSelector
• any collection or array of above will be automatically flattened

 apply plugin: 'java' //so that there are some configurations configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.force 'asm:asm-all:3.3.1', 'commons-io:commons-io:1.4' } 

getComponentSelection

Returns the currently configured version selection rules object.

getDependencySubstitution

Returns the set of dependency substitution rules that are set for this configuration.

getForcedModules

Returns currently configured forced modules. For more information on forcing versions see #force(Object...)

preferProjectModules

Gradle can resolve conflicts purely by version number or prioritize project dependencies over binary. The default is by version number.

This applies to both first level and transitive dependencies. See example below:

 apply plugin: 'java' //so that there are some configurations configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.preferProjectModules() } 

setForcedModules

Allows forcing certain versions of dependencies, including transitive dependencies. Replaces existing forced modules with the input.

For information on notations see #force(Object...)

Example:

 apply plugin: 'java' //so that there are some configurations configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.forcedModules = ['asm:asm-all:3.3.1', 'commons-io:commons-io:1.4'] } 

sortArtifacts

Specifies the ordering for resolved artifacts. Options are:

• SortOrder#DEFAULT : Don't specify the sort order. Gradle will provide artifacts in the default order.
• SortOrder#CONSUMER_FIRST : Artifacts for a consuming component should appear before artifacts for it's dependencies.
• SortOrder#DEPENDENCY_FIRST : Artifacts for a consuming component should appear after artifacts for it's dependencies.
