    • Method Detail

      • getRequested

        ComponentSelector getRequested()
        The requested dependency, before it is resolved. The requested dependency does not change even if there are multiple dependency substitution rules that manipulate the dependency metadata.
      • useTarget

        void useTarget​(Object notation)
        This method can be used to replace a dependency before it is resolved, e.g. change group, name or version (or all three of them), or replace it with a project dependency. Accepted notations are:
        • Strings encoding group:module:version, like 'org.gradle:gradle-core:2.4'
        • Maps like [group: 'org.gradle', name: 'gradle-core', version: '2.4']
        • Project instances like project(":api")
        • Any instance of ModuleComponentSelector or ProjectComponentSelector
        Parameters:
        notation - the notation that gets parsed into an instance of ComponentSelector.
