Hey folks. I need some basic insight wrt this error:

Dependency constraints can not be declared against the `compileClasspath` configuration.

Any advice would be helpful

Which part is unclear? The message sounds pretty explicit to me.

It is, but I'm seeing an error relating to migrating code from Gradle 7 to Gradle 8, where dependency constraints were declared against

compileClasspath

. Trying to put the same constraints on

implementation

results in an error relating to dependency locking:

Resolved 'foo:bar:1.0' which is not part of the dependency lock state

It is to be noted that there is a dependency substitution rule also in play:

configurations.implementation {
  resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
    substitute(module("foo:bar:1.0")).using(module("foo:baz:1.0"))
  }
}

Hm, have no experience with locking, sorry
