Gradle Versions

A plugin for helping detect new versions of dependencies and build plugins and for upgrading those dependencies and plugins. The update tasks are compatible with nebula.dependency-recommender and com.palantir.consistent-versions versions.props files.

Usage

Apply this plugin using the standard Gradle plugin block:

plugins {
   // ...
   id "com.markelliot.versions" version "0.42.0"
}

Run one of the available tasks:

• checkNewVersions: prints dependencies and plugins with available updates by project, generates a report.yml file in ${buildDir}/com.markelliot.versions/ with the same details.
• updateVersionsProps: (root project only) merges all report.ymls and updates root project versions.props with the merged recommendations. If two projects produce conflicting version recommendations, no update is applied for that dependency.
• updatePlugins: (root project only) merges all report.ymls and updates all buildscripts plugins blocks that declare a specific plugin version to use the recommended update.
• updateGradleWrapper: (root project only) finds a gradle-report.yml and if one exists updates the Gradle wrapper to point at the latest version's new distributionUrl.

Caveats

This plugin restricts updates such that:

• Recommended versions do not contain alpha or beta in the version string.
• Recommended versions may have empty status metadata or the status must be release
