I've been trying it to see if it'd achieve what I'm looking at doing in the above post ☝️ with

failOnChangingVersions()

for a resolutionStrategy. https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/resolution_strategy_tuning.html I tried in a sample project but couldn't figure out how to create a scenario where it showed value. Not quite sure what

failOnChangingVersions()

does? Any ideas?

"changing versions" means

-SNAPSHOT

, I think it's possible for other ones to be "changing" but that's the only example I know of.

Thanks for the clarity @Octavia Togami! That's unexpected, but makes sense.

that is intentional, as the dependencies task wouldn't be able to print its output otherwise. you can make your own task to resolve all configurations if you want, but I don't think there's anything built-in. I usually use

assemble

or even just

compileJava

as my "cheap" task to do resolution, as if the resolution fails it's the same as if you made a dedicated task.

That's the thing, that

assemble

succeeds fine, even with this. But... I am not relying on any classes from that module.
