Functions

resolve

abstract fun resolve(): MutableSet<File>

Resolves this dependency. A org.gradle.api.artifacts.ProjectDependency is resolved with transitive equals true by this method.

abstract fun resolve(transitive: Boolean): MutableSet<File>

Resolves this dependency by specifying the transitive mode. This mode has only an effect if the self resolved dependency is of type org.gradle.api.artifacts.ProjectDependency. In this case, if transitive is false, only the self resolving dependencies of the project configuration which are no project dependencies are resolved. If transitive is set to true, other project dependencies belonging to the configuration of the resolved project dependency are resolved recursively.

Inherited Functions

because	`abstract fun because(reason: String): Unit` Sets the reason why this dependency should be used.
contentEquals	`abstract fun contentEquals(dependency: Dependency): Boolean` Returns whether two dependencies have identical values for their properties. A dependency is an entity with a key. Therefore dependencies might be equal and yet have different properties.
copy	`abstract fun copy(): Dependency` Creates and returns a new dependency with the property values of this one.
getBuildDependencies	`abstract fun getBuildDependencies(): TaskDependency` Returns a dependency which contains the tasks which build this artifact. All `Buildable` implementations must ensure that the returned dependency object is live, so that it tracks changes to the dependencies of this buildable.
getGroup	`abstract fun getGroup(): String` Returns the group of this dependency. The group is often required to find the artifacts of a dependency in a repository. For example, the group name corresponds to a directory name in a Maven like repository. Might return null.
getName	`abstract fun getName(): String` Returns the name of this dependency. The name is almost always required to find the artifacts of a dependency in a repository. Never returns null.
getReason	`abstract fun getReason(): String` Returns a reason why this dependency should be used, in particular with regards to its version. The dependency report will use it to explain why a specific dependency was selected, or why a specific dependency version was used.
getVersion	`abstract fun getVersion(): String` Returns the version of this dependency. The version is often required to find the artifacts of a dependency in a repository. For example the version name corresponds to a directory name in a Maven like repository. Might return null.
