Gradle plugin to discover dependency updates

gradle-versions-plugin's Issues

Please provide a meaningful error message if no repositories are defined at all.

I found out what was the cause for the unresolved dependencies.

I applied the 'versions' plugin to the root project of a multi-module build and I didn't specify any repositories in the root project. Instead, I defined the repositories {} in subprojects {}.

The fix was to define repositories {} inside allprojects {} instead.

It would be nice if the plugin would show a nice error message in such a case.
Finding the solution was a bit tricky without it...

Thanks for your previous fast fix and also for this awesome plugin!

Only one written .txt report for a multi-project build.

Run dependencyUpdate task from the root of a multi-project build, where the plugin is applied to both the root and all sub projects.

The console output correctly captures all projects, however each project writes to build/dependencyUpdates/report.txt, and when I look at that file, it only contains the report for the root project, none of the subs.

I am running with org.gradle.parallel=true

ResolutionStrategy for configurations is ignored

See #26.
A new detached configuration is created to resolve the latest dependencies. This will lead to ResolutionStrategy configurations on the original configuration(s) being ignored.

Plugin is not compatible with Gradle 2.4-rc-1

And again, the version comparator internals have changed:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.Version
    at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.StaticVersionComparator.compare(StaticVersionComparator.java:25)
    at java_util_Comparator$compare.call(Unknown Source)
    at com.github.benmanes.gradle.versions.updates.DependencyUpdates$_composeVersionMapping_closure13.doCall(DependencyUpdates.groovy:178)

Gradle 1.10-rc-1 breaks 0.4.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dependencyUpdates'.
> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.version.LatestVersionSemanticComparator

Question (or possible bug?) about exceeding version

I have a question about exceeding version.

According to the Java Version String Naming convension the underscore is used to indicate an update release, and the dash is used to indicate a non-GA-relase, so as I understand it, a version that only contain an underscore but not a dash is still a GA-release.

I have an component that have the version 1.8.9_build9, but in the repository there is an older version 1.8.8_build8. When running gradle dependencyUpdates I get this message:

The following dependencies exceed the version found at the milestone revision level:

• component:component [1.8.9_build9 <- 1.8.8_build8]

What exactly does this mean? Is that correct? Shall this not only be reported for non-GA-releases?

revision=release not working

Even though -Drevision=release is specified, dependencyUpdates suggest upgrading to other versions.

For example:

• org.mockito:mockito-core [1.10.8 -> 2.0.5-beta]
• com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java [2.5.0 -> 3.0.0-alpha-2]
• org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-client [9.2.9.v20150224 -> 9.3.0.M1]

Specifying it in the gradle file doesn't help either:

dependencyUpdates {
    revision 'release'
}

(Using gradle-versions-plugin 0.8 on gradle 2.3)

Provide an example with one single line of command, without build.gradle changes

In the same way maven plugin can be run on a single line :

mvn org.codehaus.mojo:versions-maven-plugin:2.1:display-dependency-updates

There should also be a way to do it with gradle without changing our own build.gradle file.
I find such a change inadequate, coming from maven world.

Good job, btw. ;)

Gradle 2.4 Compatibility

The plugin appears to be incompatible with Gradle 2.4. When I run "gradle dU" I get the following output:

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:dependencyUpdates'.

  java.lang.String cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.Version

Using a closure as outputFormatter does not work anymore

This probably happened during the CodeNarc-related refactorings. DependencyUpdatesTask.outputFormatterProp() returns a String now but it should return an Object.

"Error listing versions" messages

I suddenly get lots of messages like

Error listing versions of org.apache.maven.wagon:wagon-webdav-jackrabbit:latest.milestone using class org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.resolver.MavenVersionLister$1. Will attempt an alternate way to list versions. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0

I didn't have this problem before. It was introduced by the this (rather trivial) commit which looks OK to me.

Everything seems to be working fine beside those messages.

Add dependency analyze task

Add @kellyrob99 dependency analyze task to detect unused dependencies. It needs to be cleaned up and updated to reflect the latest version of Gradle.

Parallel multi-project builds cause the output to be jumbled together

Parallel execution is an incubating feature.

Not support JDK 1.6 anymore?

When I update to version 0.5, I got the "Unsupported major. minor version 51.0" error. The same project is running great at 0.5-beta-5.

Sorry to bother but is there any plan to support JDK 1.6 again because it's such a wide use still.

Discover buildscript dependency versions

I just switched our Android project over to Gradle and have been learning the ropes. We define a few gradle plugins in our buildscript dependencies:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
        classpath 'com.github.jcandksolutions.gradle:android-unit-test:2.1.1'
        classpath 'com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.7'
        classpath 'com.jakewharton.sdkmanager:gradle-plugin:0.12.0'
    }
}

It would be super cool if this plugin could discover updates for these dependencies in addition to the module dependencies. Is this possible?

NullPointerException when checking JARs in decoupled project

Ever since I decoupled the projects on my Gradle build I've had this problem pop up with dependencyUpdates:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dependencyUpdates'.
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

This seems to pop up when it checks JARs for newer versions.

The main difference before decoupling and after is that I got rid of allprojects adding the repositories {} block automatically to all projects. I'm fully willing to admit that maybe my project structure is a bit wonky now, but it feels like this ought to still work (since the project still builds).

I'm using plugin version 0.9 at the moment and have reproduced on Gradle 2.3 and 2.4.

Ignore snapshot?

Is there a way to get the plugin to ignore snapshot dependencies?

buildscript in parent

I have several gradle projects. They all contain this snippet in their build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.7'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.github.ben-manes.versions'

This works as expected but I don't like the duplication. They all share a parent project. Now if I move this snippet to the parent project build.gradle and put it inside

subprojects {
}

and then run ./gradlew dependencyUpdates from the subproject, I get an error message:

> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.github.ben-manes.versions']
   > Plugin with id 'com.github.ben-manes.versions' not found.

What am I doing wrong or is this an issue with the versions plugin?

RCx should not have precedence over RELEASE

Hi,

not sure whether this is a valid report or what to do about it. I get:

The following dependencies have later milestone versions:
 - org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons [1.7.0.RELEASE -> 1.7.0.RC1]
 - org.springframework.data:spring-data-mongodb [1.4.0.RELEASE -> 1.4.0.RC1]

However, release obviously is a later milestone than release candidate.

It should be possible to show only outdated dependencies

There should be a way to have the dependencyUpdates output only the dependencies for which newer versions are available.
I usually call the task for many projects in a loop and in that case, I don't care about up-to-date dependencies.
One way to solve this would be a command-line switch to include/exclude dependencies with a certain status from the list.
Another way I could think of would be a machine-readable output, e.g. no introductory lines like "The following dependencies..", one line per dependency, maybe starting with a +, a - oder a * depending on the status. I could easily filter the output using grep or awk then. A sample output could read:

*log4j:log4j,1.2.17,1.2.7
+commons-io:commons-io,2.3,2.4
-joda-time:joda-time,3.0,2.3

Disable console output option

It would be nice to be able to disable the console output when saving results to a file, this is especially useful for CI systems which are also scanning the console output for warnings and we don't want to confuse the output.

Stops working with Gradle 2.3-rc-1

Here we go again:

Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.ResolverStrategy.getVersionMatcher() is applicable for argument types: () values: []
    at com.github.benmanes.gradle.versions.updates.DependencyUpdates.getVersionComparator(DependencyUpdates.groovy:193)

I assume we have to use org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.StaticVersionComparator now (https://code-review.gradle.org/changelog/Gradle?cs=87e3e0b5122b8a99d4db39790156a06c9752d2ef).

Won't work with Gradle >=1.8-rc-1

LatestVersionSemanticComparator was removed from the Gradle code-base in gradle/gradle@123a5dd.
As the versions plugin uses that class, it will no longer run with newer Gradle versions.

Do you have plans when to release the updated version?
I'd like to use your official release working with the current Gradle 1.10.
Thanks!

Version 0.9 is in no repository

Hi,

I wanted to install version 0.9 as shown in your README. But I only can find 0.4 in Maven Central and no package in jcenter repository

Plugin incorrectly reports exceeded versions

Currently, the 0.3 version of the plugin appears to incorrectly report that spring-context and spring-test 3.2.2.RELEASE exceed the version found at both the milestone and release levels (which it claims is 3.1.4.RELEASE).

The following dependencies are using the newest release version:
 - ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.0.13
 - com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.3
 - commons-cli:commons-cli:1.2
 - jaxen:jaxen:1.1.4
 - junit:junit:4.11
 - org.asciidoctor:asciidoctor-gradle-plugin:0.3.0
 - org.jacoco:org.jacoco.agent:0.6.2.201302030002
 - org.jdom:jdom:2.0.2
 - org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5
 - org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:1.7.5
 - org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.5
 - org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.5
 - org.springframework:spring-core:3.2.2.RELEASE
 - org.springframework.build:aws-maven:4.7.0.RELEASE

The following dependencies exceed the version found at the release revision level:
 - org.springframework:spring-context [3.2.2.RELEASE <- 3.1.4.RELEASE]
 - org.springframework:spring-test [3.2.2.RELEASE <- 3.1.4.RELEASE]

All dependencies are using the latest release versions.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Notice that it correctly lists the version for spring-core and Maven Central reports 3.2.2.RELEASE as the latest version of both spring-context and spring-test.

I'm not clear what criteria and metadata the plugin uses to properly determine the latest versions, so please let me know if the problem is in Spring's metadata versus the plugin and I can have that fixed. Thanks.

CNFE with Gradle > 1.9

The following exception appears with version 0.4 of the plugin in combination with Gradle 1.10 and 1.11

Today i did gradlew dependencyUpdates and got told that there is a 0.4 of this plugin.

maybe it is an incompability with the android plugin... no idea :(

I use gradle 1.7

Support for revision=minor

I want to keep some revisions on their major releases, but want to upgrade if there is a new minor release. One example is tomcat 8.0.x, which is still a beta product -- I want to stay at 7.x.x.

So maybe a -Drevision=minor could support this?

Not compatible with Android Studio 1.0-rc1

I just updated AS and now I get this build error:

Error:(27, 0) Cause: com/github/benmanes/gradle/versions/VersionsPlugin : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Add a changelog

I would appreciate it if there was a changelog of the updates between each version. Just a brief way to know what's changed.

Parallel multi-project builds cause the output to be jumbled togethercls

Version 0.3 causes a warning with Gradle 1.6

Currently, when running a build with gradle-versions-plugin:0.3 the warning message about TaskContainer.add() being deprecated is generated. Please update the plugin to take this new deprecation into account:

[bhale-desktop master]: g -Dorg.gradle.deprecation.trace=true dist
The TaskContainer.add() method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please use the create() method instead.

Confusing report for project with no external dependencies

If a subproject has no external dependencies (i.e. only depends on sibling modules within the same multi-project build), the report says:

All dependencies have later versions.

All dependencies are using the latest milestone versions.

We probably want to exit early if there are no external module dependencies at all.

Using "+" in versions leads to wrong output

I use + for the patch version. This leads to following output

The following dependencies exceed the version found at the milestone revision level:
 - ch.qos.logback:logback-classic [1.0.+ <- 1.0.9]

I think + should always be interpreted as the latest version, shouldn't it?

maven repo url doesn't work

The readme points to https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin/raw/mvnrepo, but that doesn't work.

version 0.8 does not work with Gradle 1.x

Running with:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.ben-manes:gradle-versions-plugin:0.8'
classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-backports-compat23:2.3.5'
}

Results with:

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':dependencyUpdates'.

  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.strategy.StaticVersionComparator

(StaticVersionComparator does not exist in Gradle 1.x)

Downgrading to 0.7 it works fine.

Java8

This plugin not work wit h java8

Task added into wrong module

I develop library and use plugin inside it.

I found that plugin add task into hierarchy into wrong location. Take a look on image.

:samples - is a sub-directory, it does not have any active tasks. Why plugin add own task into it?
bindint-tc - is a root of the project, I also believe that dependecyUpdates should not be there.

So is it possible to fix?

Reports in Jenkins/Sonar

Hi @ben-manes

Are there any examples/docs how to configure Jenkins or Sonar to use reports?

Thanks a lot.

Does this work with multi module projects? How?

I tried to use the plugin on a multi module project, but I keep getting the error message

Task 'dependencyUpdates' not found in root project 'degraph'.

degraph being the project I'm trying to use it on.

The complete setup is on github: https://github.com/schauder/degraph/tree/versions-plugin-problem

Check version of buildscript plugins as well

It would be nice if the e.g. detected that itself can be updated.

Using "+" in versions leads to wrong output

I use + for the patch version. This leads to following output

The following dependencies exceed the version found at the milestone revision level:
 - ch.qos.logback:logback-classic [1.0.+ <- 1.0.9]

I think + should always be interpreted as the latest version, shouldn't it?

Java 6 compat dropped?

It looks like Java 6 compatibility was dropped. Is that on purpose? Could it be reverted?

See https://travis-ci.org/airbnb/plog/builds/35919650 for a Travis build that failed due to the versions plugin.

It would be good to allow suppression of repositories.

Hi,my problem is that when using the version plugin and the grunt plugin like this:

apply plugin: 'versions'
apply plugin: 'grunt' // and grunt_tasks. implies node plugin
buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter() // bintray jcenter faster than mavenCentral
    maven { url 'http://dl.bintray.com/robfletcher/gradle-plugins' }
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.moowork.gradle:gradle-grunt-plugin:0.5'
}
}
node {
  version = '0.10.20'
  download = true
  workDir = file("${projectDir}/nodejs") // Set the work directory for unpacking node
}

then the dependencyUpdates Task takes an eternity because the each dependency is tried 100 times against the nodejs repo:

 $ gradle dependencyUpdates --info
  Task has not declared any outputs.

Not sure how this can best be prevented. The repo is actually added in the gradle_node_plugin:
https://github.com/srs/gradle-node-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/com/moowork/gradle/node/NodePlugin.groovy
