Find the oldest matching dependency version in use

org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.search.FindMinimumDependencyVersion

The oldest dependency version in use is the lowest dependency version in use in any source set of any subproject of a repository. It is possible that, for example, the main source set of a project uses Jackson 2.11, but a test source set uses Jackson 2.16. In this case, the oldest Jackson version in use is Java 2.11.

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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample. 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.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample
displayName: Find the oldest matching dependency version in use example
recipeList:
  - org.openrewrite.java.dependencies.search.FindMinimumDependencyVersion:
      groupIdPattern: com.fasterxml.jackson.module
      artifactIdPattern: jackson-module-*
      version: 1.x

Now that com.yourorg.FindMinimumDependencyVersionExample has been defined, activate it and take a dependency on org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.34.0 in your build file:

  1. Add the following to your build.gradle file:
build.gradle
plugins {
    id("org.openrewrite.rewrite") version("7.6.1")
}

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

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    rewrite("org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-java-dependencies:1.34.0")
}
  1. Run gradle rewriteRun to run the recipe.
