How do i override spring dependency in gradle (kotlin) file? I'm using spring boot version 
2.4.4
which has 
2.4.4
vesrion of 
spring-boot-starter-data-redis
I want to use 
2.4.7
version of it and tried following lines but it's not working 
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.7")
it says 
Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.7.
Required by:
project :
I've also tried adding following line to build.gradle file with no luck 
extra["spring-data-redis.version"] = "2.4.7"
s
It doesn’t look like there’s a 
2.4.7
version of 
spring-boot-starter-data-redis
. Perhaps you’re looking for 
spring-data-redis
? The 
extra[…]
block is how I’ve done it for other dependencies, but you could try running 
gradle dependencies
to see if something else is bringing in the lower version?
r
Yes, i want to use 
spring-data-redis 2.4.7
How should i use that?
s
In your comment it says you tried 
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.7")
but maybe what you want is 
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-data-redis:2.4.7")
?
r
So i should entirely remove 
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.7")
?
s
Yeah since there is no 2.4.7 for 
spring-boot-starter-data-redis
r
One last dumb question, 
spring-data-redis
will provide all features of 
spring-boot-starter-data-redis
correct? i mean no build failure?
s
It doesn’t, I’m not sure how your project is structured. Perhaps you could try:
Copy code
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.4")
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-data-redis:2.4.7")
I think ideally you’d want to use the 
extra[...]
block you shared but perhaps the name is incorrect.
And then run 
gradle dependencies
to make sure everything looks 👌
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/appendix-dependency-versions.html According to this it looks like your extra block should have worked, so perhaps another dependency that is keeping the version below what you want
You might need the dependency management plugin?
Copy code
plugins {
      id("io.spring.dependency-management")
}
r
I've that plugin. i've used
Copy code
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-data-redis:2.4.7")
but it still says
Copy code
Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.7.

Right. There is no 
spring-boot-starter-data-redis
version 
2.4.7
According to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-data-redis the latest version is 
2.4.4
so that needs to stay
My suggestion was to try to declare an additional dependency, the starter (2.4.4) + the version of spring-data-redis that you want (2.4.7) if the 
extra
thing was not working:
Copy code
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-redis:2.4.4")
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-data-redis:2.4.7")

Complete aside. I'd suggest migrating to Gradle platform rather than relying on the old Spring Dependency Management plugin. More consistent version resolution, and more intuitive, as you can use Gradle features for controlling versions rather than 'hack' of dependency management plugin. It's documented in Spring Boot docs alongside dependency management plugin info.
s
Do you happen to have a link? Definitely not completely happy with the dependency management plugin so would be nice to explore an alternative 😄
m
Sorry, on phone, so no. There's some info in spring docs when you goto boot gradle plugin. Newer versions show dependency management plugin, but also show Gradle platform approach. There's a great blog post that discusses it, too. Found link in another Workspace. https://nexocode.com/blog/posts/spring-dependencies-in-gradle/
