Hey awesome article 👏

I have a question, if you move out the dependency versions to a separate file like the Versions.kt do you still get a warning for an outdated library? Or do you loose that perk? 🤔

No

[Javier]

btw you should use version catalogs or refresh versions instead of buildSrc approach, which is not very cache friendly (for dependency management, rest is ok)

@Todor Grudev Javier is right. Using builSrc/.../Versions.kt is problematic because any change to that file modify your build classpath, so your next build is basically a clean build.
refreshVersions avoid this problem by using a versions.properties file and replace the warning for outdated libraries
