Change a Gradle dependency coordinates.

Recipe source

  • groupId: org.openrewrite
  • artifactId: rewrite-gradle
  • version: 8.9.5

Options

Type
Name
Description
String
oldGroupId
The old groupId to replace. The groupId is the first part of a dependency coordinate 'com.google.guava:guava:VERSION'. Supports glob expressions.
String
oldArtifactId
The old artifactId to replace. The artifactId is the second part of a dependency coordinate 'com.google.guava:guava:VERSION'. Supports glob expressions.
String
newGroupId
Optional. The new groupId to use. Defaults to the existing group id.
String
newArtifactId
Optional. The new artifactId to use. Defaults to the existing artifact id.
String
newVersion
Optional. An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number. You can also use latest.release for the latest available version and latest.patch if the current version is a valid semantic version. For more details, you can look at the documentation page of version selectors.
String
versionPattern
Optional. Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example,Setting 'version' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre
Boolean
overrideManagedVersion
Optional. If the old dependency has a managed version, this flag can be used to explicitly set the version on the new dependency. WARNING: No check is done on the NEW dependency to verify if it is managed, it relies on whether the OLD dependency had a managed version. The default for this flag is false.

Usage

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly. To activate this recipe you must create a new recipe which fills in the required parameters. In your rewrite.yml create a new recipe with a unique name. For example: com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyExample. Here's how you can define and customize such a recipe within your rewrite.yml:
rewrite.yml
---
type: specs.openrewrite.org/v1beta/recipe
name: com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyExample
displayName: Change Gradle dependency example
recipeList:
- org.openrewrite.gradle.ChangeDependency:
oldGroupId: org.openrewrite.recipe
oldArtifactId: rewrite-testing-frameworks
newGroupId: corp.internal.openrewrite.recipe
newArtifactId: rewrite-testing-frameworks
newVersion: 29.X
versionPattern: '-jre'
overrideManagedVersion: null
Now that com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyExample has been defined activate it in your build file:
Gradle
Moderne CLI
  1. 1.
    Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.5.6")
}
rewrite {
activeRecipe("com.yourorg.ChangeDependencyExample")
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
  1. 2.
    Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
You will need to have configured the Moderne CLI on your machine before you can run the following command.
shell
mod run . --recipe ChangeDependency
