What are the repositories used to download sources...

What are the repositories used to download sources (tasks like ijDownloadSources540ca63f-c44 ). The task complains that it can't find google() but I'm pretty sure I've added it.

[mbonnin]

Adding

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  google()
}

to my root project build script worked even though dependencyResolutionManagement.repositories in settings.gradle.kts should have been enough

Martin, is it possible to reproduce the issue in a simple project? Can you please attach it? Thank you!

[mbonnin]

Can't reproduce on a simple project sadly. It happens in Apollo Kotlin but there's a lot of things going on down there. It might be that I'm misconfiguring some repositories or something. I was curious what repositories were used for the resolution

[mbonnin]

If you're curious, you can try to browse to an AGP symbol like com.android.build.gradle.api.BaseVariant and click the "Download Sources" button

[mbonnin]

But again, it might very well be something on my side

[mbonnin]

It says this:

Note that it's resolving a buildscript classpath element via project repositories. Those two are (should be) totally independent set of repos.

[mbonnin]

Ah! interesting!

[twisterrob]

@mbonnin if you disable CC, does it change the behavior?

[mbonnin]

Let me try

[mbonnin]

Same

[mbonnin]

Ah but wait, there's something I missed before:

> The project declares repositories, effectively ignoring the repositories you have declared in the settings.
   You can figure out how project repositories are declared by configuring your build to fail on project repositories.

[mbonnin]

Does IJ declare repositories blob thinking upside down?

[mbonnin]

What puzzles me is that it builds all fine, it's only an IDE thing

[twisterrob]

Also if you add a println for gradle.initScripts (not sure of the exact property name), you should find the task definition in the temp folder and can read it, might help understand.

[mbonnin]

Right, IDEA uses init scripts... I'll dig into this, thanks!
