Options​

TypeNameDescriptionExample
StringpluginIdPatternThe ID part of plugin { ID }, as a glob expression.com.jfrog.bintray
StringnewVersionOptional. 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. Defaults to latest.release.29.X
StringversionPatternOptional. 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-jre

Usage​

This recipe has required configuration parameters. Recipes with required configuration parameters cannot be activated directly (unless you are running them via the Moderne CLI). 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.ChangePluginVersionExample. 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.ChangePluginVersionExample
displayName: Change a Gradle plugin version by id example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.gradle.plugins.ChangePluginVersion:
      pluginIdPattern: com.jfrog.bintray
      newVersion: 29.X
      versionPattern: '-jre'

Now that com.yourorg.ChangePluginVersionExample has been defined, activate it in your build file:

  1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("7.8.0")
}

rewrite {
    activeRecipe("com.yourorg.ChangePluginVersionExample")
    setExportDatatables(true)
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
  1. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
