I'm implementing a custom plugin to add some dependencies. I'm using

project.dependencies.add

to add them. The issue is that I need to set some

excludes

for these dependencies. I tried to use a lambda after the

add

, but it didn't work. Is there a way to add these excludes?

Which language are you using? With Groovy that should Just Work™. With Kotlin it could work if you

import org.gradle.kotli.dsl.add

. In Java you'd have to call the

add(String,Object)

overload and cast the return value to

ModuleDependency

(it'll likely be an

ExternalModuleDependency

) to call its

exclude(Map<String,String>)

method.

Kotlin. The AS didn't suggest the import. Putting manually works. Thanks a lot.

Fwiw, I

import org.gradle.kotli.dsl.*

(yep, wildcard, the only one I'm allowing myself to use) so I can write my Kotlin code almost as if it was a Gradle Kotlin DSL script.

Maybe with the missing

n

. 😄 For me the IDE usually suggests also those imports. 🤷‍♂️
