Exclude Builddependency from classpath

Old Forum
1

Hallo,

I have a builddependency, and within this dependency I want to exclude from the classpath a module:

My question…:

At the moment the build dependency within the classpath looks like that:

dependencies {
 classpath "org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0.5.2"
 }

But I want that some package be excluded (from the above), like that:

dependencies {
 classpath "org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0.5.2"
{ exclude group:'org.codehaus.groovy', module:'groovy' }
}

How can I do that? Because that does not work, I get following exception:

No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0. 5.2() is applicable for argument types: (build_nnr9nmao9uhm9s9cp5ah4pi64$_run_closure1_closure2_closure5_closure8) values: [build_nnr9nmao9uhm9s9cp5ah4pi64$run_closure1 closure2_closure5_closure8@46013dd8]

Thanks for you help!

You are missing parens around the dependency notation:

dependencies {
  classpath("org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder:http-builder:0.5.2")
{
     exclude group:'org.codehaus.groovy', module:'groovy'
   }
}
