Method Detail

getFiles

FileCollection getFiles()

Returns the files attached to this dependency.

Since:

3.3

getBuildDependencies

@Deprecated
TaskDependency getBuildDependencies()

Deprecated.

This class will no longer implement SelfResolvingDependency in Gradle 9.0.

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.

Specified by:

getBuildDependencies in interface Buildable

Returns:

The dependency. Never returns null. Returns an empty dependency when this artifact is not built by any tasks.

resolve

@Deprecated
java.util.Set<java.io.File> resolve()

Deprecated.

This class will no longer implement SelfResolvingDependency in Gradle 9.0. Use getFiles() instead.

Resolves this dependency. A ProjectDependency is resolved with transitive equals true by this method.

Specified by:

resolve in interface SelfResolvingDependency

Returns:

The files which make up this dependency.

See Also:

SelfResolvingDependency.resolve(boolean)

resolve

@Deprecated
java.util.Set<java.io.File> resolve(boolean transitive)

Deprecated.

This class will no longer implement SelfResolvingDependency in Gradle 9.0. Use getFiles() instead.

Resolves this dependency by specifying the transitive mode. This mode has only an effect if the self resolved dependency is of type 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.

Specified by:

resolve in interface SelfResolvingDependency

Parameters:

transitive - Whether to resolve transitively. Has only an effect on a ProjectDependency

Returns:

The files which make up this dependency.
