A noob question: I just added new dependency in

build.gradle.kts

after the prior build, like

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security")
    implementation("org.springframework.security:spring-security-test")
}

, but when I build in IntelliJ, the new dependencies doesn’t get installed: I can’t see them in the External Libraries, and I can’t import them. Am I missing something here? Or is there a certain other way to update the dependencies?

There is a popup option that IntelliJ can auto-import for you. This way, when you update a gradle file, it will do the reimport for you.

Couple of following questions: 1. Is there a way to update the dependencies via command line? 2. Is there a way to change the behavior, that the changed dependencies automatically get imported?

🤔 I think it’s per project yes. You can probably toggle it on in the options somewhere

Oh, I think I found it: Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle then there’s the ‘Automatically import this project on changes in build script file’. Thanks

That seems to be it indeed, no problem 🙂
