[GRADLE-2231] Tooling API: Provide ability to distinguish 'compile' from 'providedCompile' dependency scope Created: 13/Apr/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: 1.0-rc-1
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Denis Zhdanov Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 9


 Description   

The gradle api returns scope 'compile' for the dependencies declared as 'providedCompile'. However, the reference states the following:

The War plugin adds two dependency configurations: providedCompile and providedRuntime. Those configurations have the same scope as the respective compile and runtime configurations, except that they are not added to the WAR archive

That means that a Tooling API client doesn't have an ability to configure the *.war assembling rules properly without correct scope information.

Is it enough if the tooling api provides the information if the dependency should be deployed or not?

Comment by Denis Zhdanov [ 02/May/12 ]

I think we can elaborate that further - it would be really convenient for the end-users if the IDE is able to configure assembling rules (not only for wars but for ordinary jars as well, see http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/artifact.html) based on the information contained at the build.gradle.

I.e. the tooling api should expose that information in general, taking into account all custom layout changes introduced by the end-user.

It's blocking this JetGradle feature: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-84589

a workaround, that worked for me:

war {
   classpath = files(configurations.runtime.minus(configurations.providedCompile))
}
