Reported in forum: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/module-replacement-not-reflected-in-publication-metadata/14113

We want to define project and enterprise-wide module replacements to avoid conflicts due to changed coordinates, however they're not reflected in the published metadata. Reduced case is:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.collections:google-collections:1.0'
    compile 'com.google.truth:truth:0.28' // Has a guava dependency
    modules {
        module("com.google.collections:google-collections") {
            replacedBy("com.google.guava:guava")
        }
    }
}

publishing {
    repositories {
        ivy {
            url 'build/testivyrepo'
            name 'testivy'
        }
    }
    publications {
        ivyPublish(IvyPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

Results in:

<dependencies>
  <dependency org="com.google.collections" name="google-collections" rev="1.0" conf="runtime-&gt;default"/>
  <dependency org="com.google.truth" name="truth" rev="0.28" conf="runtime-&gt;default"/>
</dependencies>

For:

runtime - Runtime classpath for source set 'main'.
+--- com.google.collections:google-collections:1.0 -> com.google.guava:guava:18.0
\--- com.google.truth:truth:0.28
     +--- com.google.guava:guava:18.0
     \--- junit:junit:4.10
          \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1

This also means that even basic conflict resolution isn't reflected - the dependencies are configured when you call `from components.java`. I've written some failing tests here, but looks like a major overhaul of components and publishing to get correct results:

We've added a workaround to our publishing plugins, replacing the requested module details with the selected module details:

See https://github.com/nebula-plugins/nebula-publishing-plugin for details.

As announced on the Gradle blog we are planning to completely migrate issues from JIRA to GitHub.

We intend to prioritize issues that are actionable and impactful while working more closely with the community. Many of our JIRA issues are inactionable or irrelevant. We would like to request your help to ensure we can appropriately prioritize JIRA issues you’ve contributed to.

Please confirm that you still advocate for your JIRA issue before December 10th, 2016 by:

  • Checking that your issues contain requisite context, impact, behaviors, and examples as described in our published guidelines.
  • Leave a comment on the JIRA issue or open a new GitHub issue confirming that the above is complete.

We look forward to collaborating with you more closely on GitHub. Thank you for your contribution to Gradle!
