Try to create instead of named. I'd guess it works.

Yeah, I have used

create

and it works, but looks like a bug to me

Well, the default is just created if it was not created by the build already. Could well be intentional. But feel free to open a GitHub issue. 🙂

Isn't default created only when

gradle/libs.versions.toml

file exists? IIRC when it exists create will fail. You could use

maybeCreate("libs").configure { ... }

.

Obviously it does not fail. He has that file and just wants to override one version of it for whatever reason.

That is the thing it is weird for me, create should fail and named work, but it is the contrary

Ahh, I misunderstood. I thought gradle did create/maybeCreate before the settings script is executed but it seems opposite is true if manual create works. With such an ordering I'm not sure if you can truly override version since gradle would override your version from toml later. Of course you can rename a toml file, create libs catalog and import the toml file with from(files(..)) and then override the version.

That the from is evaluated later does not mean the version from the toml wins. I'd still expect it to work.

Yeah, I would too ,) But need to experiment or look at the code to be sure

Yeah, it works, I tested it a few hours ago. The use case is a plugin testing itself with the latest changes

Just to be sure I understand: you use

create

for your use case but do you have to also explicitly do the

from

then? If not, please file an issue as it makes no sense. If you have to do the

from

yourself, then you can see the default

libs

as being a convention, and any change you want to make to it forces your to be fully explicit.

You have to use

create

to be able to access / modify even the default

libs

. If you use

create

and also add a

from

you get an exception that you must not call

from

multiple times even if you only called it once and even if you just specify the convention file again (I already opened an issue for this in the past).

I think the intuitive things is that libs should be created automatically so I should be able to get it instead of “creating” it
