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

[octylFractal]

are you using build.gradle.kts?

[John Peña]

no, i'm using groovy

[octylFractal]

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]

looks like you're right

[John Peña]

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

[octylFractal]

hmm, implementation is in that list

[octylFractal]

not sure what's going on then, sorry

[John Peña]

ok, thanks for your help

[John Peña]

here's the build.gradle for the record: http://dpaste.com/271NRAH

[octylFractal]

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

[octylFractal]

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

[John Peña]

ah ok

[John Peña]

i think i'm missing the java plugin in a subproject

[octylFractal]

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

[octylFractal]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/Project.html "Lifecyle" for details

[John Peña]

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

[John Peña]

i had remove that, i'd heard it was deprecated

[octylFractal]

I don't think that's quite true, it's just recommended to use the plugins {} block where possible

[John Peña]

got it

[John Peña]

so if all subprojects use the same plugins, its not a bad practice to use apply plugin: 'whatever' in the subprojects block?

[octylFractal]

I don't think so

[John Peña]

ok, well this helped me get past my issue

[John Peña]

thanks again for your help!
