In Gradle, how can I generate a POM file with dynamic dependencies resolved to the actual version used?
dependencies {
testCompile(group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+')
}
This is generated from the dependency above.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.+</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I want to have the +
resolved to an accrual version like below.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.12</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The Gradle guide chapter on Maven Publishing talks about doing this, but does not mention how.
With this hook, you can modify any aspect of the POM. For example, you could replace the version range for a dependency with the actual version used to produce the build.
Solution
Using the information in Peter Niederwieser's answer, I created a task that reads a POM that contains dynamic dependencies and overwrites it with a new pom that has the dependencies resolved.
/**
* Reads and Overwrites POM file resolving dynamic dependencies
*/
task cleanPom(dependsOn: writeNewPom) << {
// Get existing pom file
Node xml = new XmlParser().parse(pomFileLocation)
// Generate map of resolved versions
Map resolvedVersionMap = new HashMap()
Set<ResolvedArtifact> resolvedArtifacts = configurations.compile.getResolvedConfiguration().getResolvedArtifacts()
resolvedArtifacts.addAll(configurations.testCompile.getResolvedConfiguration().getResolvedArtifacts())
resolvedArtifacts.each {
resolvedVersionMap.put(it.getName(), it.getModuleVersion().getId().getVersion())
}
// Update dependencies with resolved versions
xml.dependencies.first().each {
Node artifactId = it.get("artifactId").first()
def artifactName = artifactId.value().first()
def artifactVersion = resolvedVersionMap.get(artifactName)
Node version = it.get("version").first()
version.value = artifactVersion
}
// Overwrite existing pom file
new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(pomFileLocation))).print(xml)
}
