hierarchy

Gets an ordered set including this configuration and all superconfigurations recursively.

incoming

The incoming dependencies of this configuration.

resolutionStrategy

The resolution strategy used by this configuration. The resolution strategy provides extra details on how to resolve this configuration. See docs for ResolutionStrategy for more info and examples.

resolvedConfiguration

Resolves this configuration. This locates and downloads the files which make up this configuration, and returns a ResolvedConfiguration that may be used to determine information about the resolve (including errors).

state

The state of the configuration.

transitive

The transitivity of this configuration. A transitive configuration contains the transitive closure of its direct dependencies, and all their dependencies. An intransitive configuration contains only the direct dependencies. The default value is true.

visible

Returns true if this is a visible configuration. A visible configuration is usable outside the project it belongs to. The default value is true.

Methods

MethodDescription
copy()

Creates a copy of this configuration that only contains the dependencies directly in this configuration (without contributions from superconfigurations). The new configuration will be in the UNRESOLVED state, but will retain all other attributes of this configuration except superconfigurations. Configuration.getHierarchy() for the copy will not include any superconfigurations.

copy(dependencySpec)

Takes a closure which gets coerced into a Spec. Behaves otherwise in the same way as Configuration.copy(org.gradle.api.specs.Spec)

copy(dependencySpec)

Creates a copy of this configuration ignoring superconfigurations (see Configuration.copy() but filtering the dependencies using the specified dependency spec.

copyRecursive()

Creates a copy of this configuration that contains the dependencies directly in this configuration and those derived from superconfigurations. The new configuration will be in the UNRESOLVED state, but will retain all other attributes of this configuration except superconfigurations. Configuration.getHierarchy() for the copy will not include any superconfigurations.

copyRecursive(dependencySpec)

Takes a closure which gets coerced into a Spec. Behaves otherwise in the same way as Configuration.copyRecursive(org.gradle.api.specs.Spec)

copyRecursive(dependencySpec)

Creates a copy of this configuration with dependencies from superconfigurations (see Configuration.copyRecursive()) but filtering the dependencies using the dependencySpec.

defaultDependencies(action)

Execute the given action if the configuration has no defined dependencies when it first participates in dependency resolution. A Configuration will participate in dependency resolution when:

exclude(excludeProperties)

Adds an exclude rule to exclude transitive dependencies for all dependencies of this configuration. You can also add exclude rules per-dependency. See ModuleDependency.exclude(java.util.Map).

extendsFrom(superConfigs)

Adds the given configurations to the set of configuration which this configuration extends from.

fileCollection(dependencySpecClosure)
Deprecated

Takes a closure which gets coerced into a Spec. Behaves otherwise in the same way as Configuration.fileCollection(org.gradle.api.specs.Spec).

fileCollection(dependencies)
Deprecated

Resolves this configuration lazily. The resolve happens when the elements of the returned FileCollection get accessed the first time. This locates and downloads the files which make up this configuration. Only the resulting set of files belonging to specified dependencies is contained in the FileCollection.

fileCollection(dependencySpec)
Deprecated

Resolves this configuration lazily. The resolve happens when the elements of the returned FileCollection get accessed the first time. This locates and downloads the files which make up this configuration. Only the resulting set of files belonging to the subset of dependencies specified by the dependencySpec is contained in the FileCollection.

files(dependencySpecClosure)
Deprecated

Takes a closure which gets coerced into a Spec. Behaves otherwise in the same way as Configuration.files(org.gradle.api.specs.Spec).

files(dependencies)
Deprecated

Resolves this configuration. This locates and downloads the files which make up this configuration. But only the resulting set of files belonging to the specified dependencies is returned.

files(dependencySpec)
Deprecated

Resolves this configuration. This locates and downloads the files which make up this configuration. But only the resulting set of files belonging to the subset of dependencies specified by the dependencySpec is returned.

getTaskDependencyFromProjectDependency(useDependedOn, taskName)

Returns a TaskDependency object containing dependencies on all tasks with the specified name from project dependencies related to this configuration or one of its super configurations. These other projects may be projects this configuration depends on or projects with a similarly named configuration that depend on this one based on the useDependOn argument.

Configuration defaultDependencies(Action<? super DependencySet> action)

Execute the given action if the configuration has no defined dependencies when it first participates in dependency resolution. A Configuration will participate in dependency resolution when:

This method is useful for specifying default dependencies for a configuration:

configurations { conf }
configurations['conf'].defaultDependencies { dependencies ->
     dependencies.add(owner.project.dependencies.create("org.gradle:my-util:1.0"))
}

A Configuration is considered empty even if it extends another, non-empty Configuration.

If multiple actions are supplied, each action will be executed until the set of dependencies is no longer empty. Remaining actions will be ignored.

Configuration exclude(Map<String, String> excludeProperties)
