Download transitive dependencies with Gradle
dependencies, gradle
Solution
What would be the most succinct way of expressing that in Gradle?
You are already expressing it (`transitive = true` is the default). Chances are that the dependency doesn't have a descriptor (pom.xml or ivy.xml), or doesn't have any transitive dependencies. Also note that snapshots are cached for 24 hours by default (`--refresh-dependencies` is one way to overcome that).
Problem
My Gradle project depends on a Jar artifact. I'd like to download dependent Jar together with its own dependencies (transitive for the main project) into a temporary build folder: ``` configurations { myConfig { transitive = true } } dependencies { myConfig "my-group:my-artifact:0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT" } task copyMyLibs(type: Copy) { from configurations.myConfig into temporaryDir } ``` Unfortunately, I get only my-artifact.jar file in the build/tmp/copyMyLibs folder. I'd like to see there dependencies of the "my-group:my-artifact:0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT" too. What would be the most succinct way of expressing that in Gradle? Thanks!
