Hello, does anyone know a way to find which module...

Hello, does anyone know a way to find which modules depend on a given module? For example, for a project with dependencies laid out like this:

a -- b
  \- c
b -- c
c -- d

I´m trying to find a way to find which modules depend on d, in this case c. If I wanted to know about c, a and b. Ultimately, being able to do this recursively would be convenient. Since, transitively, every module would depend on d.

./gradlew :module:dependencies should do it

[mbonnin]

Ah wait, you want the opposite, right?

[gabrielfv]

Yep, the opposite

[mbonnin]

I mean the information is still there but harder to parse

[gabrielfv]

I´m holding on to it as a last resort at least in a first moment.

[mbonnin]

IntelliJ has a "Analyze -> Module dependencies" thing but that might be ultimate only

[mbonnin]

Seems like that would do

Else you can try https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.savvasdalkitsis.module-dependency-graph

[gabrielfv]

Will have a look into that plugin. One thing that kind of killed my own first attempt at that is that a task I created would run before all the modules had been configured, which would make the report very limited

[mbonnin]

Yea, you can do a number of afterEvaluate {} runs but that's flaky...

[gabrielfv]

Will take a look on the git repo, it should contain some answers, thanks for linking it.

Maybe build scans are worth checking too

Opposite of dependencies? That would then be dependencyInsight?
