i recently removed some classpath dependencies from my build

Question

i recently removed some classpath dependencies from my buildscript section maybe that s the issue

octylFractal · Answer

are you using `build gradle kts`

John Peña · Answer

no i m using groovy

octylFractal · Answer

then it sounds like the `java` `kotlin` etc plugin is no longer applied and there is no `implementation` configuration any more you could check by putting `configurations each println it name ` right before the dependency block

John Peña · Answer

looks like you re right

John Peña · Answer

here s what i see ```annotationProcessor api apiDependenciesMetadata apiElements archives compile compileClasspath compileOnly compileOnlyDependenciesMetadata default implementation implementationDependenciesMetadata kotlinCompilerClasspath kotlinCompilerPluginClasspath kotlinNativeCompilerPluginClasspath kotlinScriptDef kotlinScriptDefExtensions runtime runtimeClasspath runtimeElements runtimeOnly runtimeOnlyDependenciesMetadata sourceArtifacts testAnnotationProcessor testApi testApiDependenciesMetadata testCompile testCompileClasspath testCompileOnly testCompileOnlyDependenciesMetadata testImplementation testImplementationDependenciesMetadata testKotlinScriptDef testKotlinScriptDefExtensions testRuntime testRuntimeClasspath testRuntimeOnly testRuntimeOnlyDependenciesMetadata```

John Peña · Answer

ok thanks for your help

John Peña · Answer

here s the build gradle for the record <http dpaste com 271NRAH>

octylFractal · Answer

oh I see what s up you re printing the configurations of the root project but trying to apply dependencies in the subprojects

octylFractal · Answer

you need to apply the java + kotlin plugins to the subprojects as well

John Peña · Answer

ah ok

John Peña · Answer

i think i m missing the java plugin in a subproject

octylFractal · Answer

be wary that the root build gradle is also evaluated first so even if you apply it in a subproject s build gradle it may not be applied yet in the root build gradle unless you declare that the evaulation depends on the child project

John Peña · Answer

it looks like i did actually have to do `apply plugin java ` in the subprojects block

John Peña · Answer

i had remove that i d heard it was deprecated

octylFractal · Answer

I don t think that s quite true it s just recommended to use the `plugins ` block where possible

John Peña · Answer

got it

John Peña · Answer

so if all subprojects use the same plugins its not a bad practice to use `apply plugin whatever ` in the subprojects block

octylFractal · Answer

I don t think so

John Peña · Answer

ok well this helped me get past my issue

John Peña · Answer

thanks again for your help
