hi all, I have a library, let's call it

Lib

, which uses Jackson, and a client which uses

Lib

. If I try to make any calls in

Lib

which involve some Jackson calls under the hood, I get some exceptions related to Jackson not being able to load modules. The only way to fix this is to also include Jackson as a dependency in my client application, even tho it's already a dependency in

Lib

. Am I missing something here?

It sounds like an implementation vs api configuration issue. Can you try to declare your library’s dependency on Jackson using

api("<group>:<module:<version>")

as opposed to

implementation("<group>:<module:<version>")

if you think its a version mismatch that should be easy to test with a call to

./gradlew dependencies
