Hi, we have a build with multiple repositories: 1. Nexus for manage public dependencies(cache proxy) 2. Flat repository in the file system. The second one we use **for artifacts which should be stored locally**. With Gradle 4.3 we got [this](https://docs.gradle.org/4.3/release-notes.html#avoid-checking-other-repositories-when-dependency-resolution-in-one-repository-fails). Have someone any ideas how this behavior might be disabled or avoided? ---

Can you please be more specific what problem you are facing? Gradle will only fail if a repository had an error (e.g. 503, 401 etc.). If the response is 404 (not found), Gradle will continue as usual. Is your Nexus repository returning an error code like “unauthorized”? ---

Yes, we got a “400” code ```gradle > Could not resolve :Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/jid3lib-0.5.4:.

Thank you for the details. We are reverting this change for 4.3.1 and making the handling more lenient in 4.4. See [https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/3335](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/3335) ---

The exception you are getting looks like a bad dependency declaration though. Can you show me how you are declaring this dependency? This probably only works because of some missing validation in Gradle. ---

I don’t remember how it’s defined exactly, but it’s something like: ```gradle Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/jid3lib-0.5.4 ``` The right version I can send you just at this Tuesday, because we are on holidays until November 6. ---

That’s probably the issue - the dependency should just be “jid3lib:0.5.4”. “Media Server 3.6.2/lib/” should be added as a flatDir repository. ---

I don’t think so. It’s a ‘flat dependency’. I know best way define dependencies is a GAV record. But in our case, it’s definitely appropriate. Also, these 3rd party dependencies we got “AS IS” & it’s not a good idea try to manage these dependencies in an automatic manner at this time. ---

You are probably doing something like: ```gradle dependencies { compile "Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/jid3lib-0.5.4" } ``` Which is telling Gradle to look for an external dependency with empty group, empty version and artifact name = “Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/jid3lib-0.5.4”. If you just want a [file dependency](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:file_dependencies), then you should be using ```gradle dependencies { compile files("Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/jid3lib-0.5.4") } ``` Or you can use a [flatDir](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sec:flat_dir_resolver) repository. That makes the dependency declarations look a bit more tidy and similar to external dependencies: ```gradle repositories { flatDir { dirs 'Wowza Media Server 3.6.2/lib/' } } dependencies { compile “jid3lib:0.5.4” } ```
