Changing module not expired when using Artifactory

Gradle Version: 2.14.1
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Is this a regression? If yes, which version of Gradle do you know it last worked for? No

I have a library hosted in Artifactory, and I have it marked as changing. Here is the line in the dependent build’s build.gradle:

compile group: "com.<redacted>", name: "common-lib", version: "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT", changing: true

I believe artifactory returns the appropriate Maven metadata, this is the contents of /com/-redacted-/common-lib/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml:

<metadata>
  <groupId>com.-redacted-</groupId>
  <artifactId>common-lib</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <versioning>
    <snapshot>
      <timestamp>20160811.134233</timestamp>
      <buildNumber>15</buildNumber>
    </snapshot>
    <lastUpdated>20160811134622</lastUpdated>
    <snapshotVersions>
      <snapshotVersion>
        <extension>jar</extension>
        <value>1.0.0-20160811.134233-15</value>
        <updated>20160811134233</updated>
      </snapshotVersion>
      <snapshotVersion>
        <extension>pom</extension>
        <value>1.0.0-20160811.134233-15</value>
        <updated>20160811134233</updated>
      </snapshotVersion>
    </snapshotVersions>
  </versioning>
</metadata>

As you can see, the current snapshot version is “15”

I have the appropriate setting in my build.gradle, and I have tried different variations of this:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
}

However, when the build runs, it is hanging on to a stale version - version “12”:

Note - this build was run Aug 11, so the version is clearly more than 0 seconds old. I am not using the gradle daemon.

Looks like it’s not even attempting to check for a new version. What happens if you use --refresh-dependencies?

FYI, any version string ending in -SNAPSHOT is implicitly treated as changing, no need to explicitly set changing=true in that case.

The behavior looks correct when setting the --refresh-dependencies flag, I think I will use that as a workaround for now. Here is the log output. Note that in this case, the previous build had used SNAPSHOT 18, and it correctly picks up the new build 19:

That is odd, the snippet above should have the same effect. I take it that you’ve added it to the build file of the project in question? If this is a multi-project build you may need to put that in an allprojects { } block.

It is not a multi-project build, and it is in the build file of this project.
