Hi! I’m using the Source Dependency feature detailed here: [https://blog.gradle.org/introducing-source-dependencies](https://blog.gradle.org/introducing-source-dependencies)

```gradle
//settings.gradle

include ':codegen'
sourceControl {
    gitRepository("https://github.com/twof/swagger-codegen.git") {
        producesModule("io.swagger:swagger-codegen")
    }
}

```

```gradle
//build.gradle

implementation("io.swagger:swagger-codegen") {
    version {
        branch = "AdditionalPropertiesFix"
    }
}

```

```gradle
// assemble command output

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':codegen:compileJava'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':codegen:compileClasspath'.
   > Git repository at https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git did not contain a project publishing the specified dependency.
     Required by:
         project :codegen

```

Any idea what’s going wrong here? I’m rather new to gradle, so apologies if I’ve broken conventions.

Hi @twof! Welcome to the Gradle community. 🙂

Unfortunately, the project (swagger) you are depending on is built with Maven. Source dependencies currently only work with projects that have a Gradle build.

You would need to build your modified version locally with Maven and then depend on it. You can do that, for example, by installing a snapshot with Maven to _mavenLocal()_ and then depending on it in Gradle.
