Is there the way outputs all dependencies with or without updates using gradle-versions-plugin ?

[tapchicoma]

you could try to use dependencies task from Gradle

[Yasutaka Kawamoto]

Ah, I see. Thanks.
But I want to format the output like JSON.
Do you know how to format using it?

[tapchicoma]

it is not possible with this task 🤷‍♂️

[tapchicoma]

btw why dependenciesUpdates json report is not fit for you?

[Yasutaka Kawamoto]

Thanks again!

I think it only output those with updates. I want to know the dependent library versions I’m using for all the modules.

[tapchicoma]

no, check documentation again - it also outputs dependencies that don't have updates

[Yasutaka Kawamoto]

Oh! Really!
I’ll check again!

There is also the built-in HtmlDependencyReportTask to generate an HTML report

[Vampire]

And actually that has the dependency tree as JSON inside

[Vampire]

Or you could write an own report task like the html one and output JSON directly

[tapchicoma]

what is the name of this HtmlDependencyReportTask? 🤔

[Vampire]

Whatever name you give it

[Vampire]

Ah, no, there is indeed one created by default called htmlDependencyReport

[tapchicoma]

Gradle 6.8 could not find this task 🤔

[Vampire]

Apply the project-reports plugin

[Vampire]

Or define a task of that type yourself

[Vampire]

The plugin will add a taskReport task, a propertyReport task, a dependencyReport task, an htmlDependencyReport task, and a projectReport task.

[tapchicoma]

yes, adding this plugin was a missing part 👍

Today I learned such plugin exists 😅

[Vampire]

Me too 😄

[Vampire]

It is not even documented, but I've seen it in the sources

[Vampire]

After I have seen the task type in the DSL docs

[Vampire]

Ah, it is, just not in the single-page version: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/project_report_plugin.html
