Dependency constraint to resolution rule

org.openrewrite.gradle.DependencyConstraintToRule

Gradle dependency constraints are useful for managing the versions of transitive dependencies. Some plugins, such as the Spring Dependency Management plugin, do not respect these constraints. This recipe converts constraints into resolution rules, which can achieve similar effects to constraints but are harder for plugins to ignore.

Recipe source

GitHub, Issue Tracker, Maven Central

• groupId: org.openrewrite

Usage

This recipe has no required configuration parameters and comes from a rewrite core library. It can be activated directly without adding any dependencies.

Gradle

1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("6.16.3")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.gradle.DependencyConstraintToRule")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

2. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.

Gradle init script

1. Create a file named init.gradle in the root of your project.

init.gradle

initscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2" }
    }
    dependencies { classpath("org.openrewrite:plugin:latest.release") }
}
rootProject {
    plugins.apply(org.openrewrite.gradle.RewritePlugin)
    dependencies {
        rewrite("org.openrewrite:rewrite-java")
    }
    rewrite {
        activeRecipe("org.openrewrite.gradle.DependencyConstraintToRule")
    }
    afterEvaluate {
        if (repositories.isEmpty()) {
            repositories {
                mavenCentral()
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Run gradle --init-script init.gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
