Plugin publish fails with NPE if dependency doesn't have version

Gradle Version: 3.0
Operating System: Linux
Is this a regression? Unknown

In this commit for this project, I omitted a version on a dependency because it’s set automatically by a resolutionStrategy in a plugin:

However, that causes publishing to fail. My guess is that this is looking at the requested, rather than resolved version of the dependency?

Hi Danny, thanks for reporting this. I’ve created Jira ticket GRADLE-3532 to reflect this.

We have now released version 0.9.6 of the Plugin Publish plugin that addresses this issue.

This release not only fixes the NullPointerException that was encountered, but also deals with the downstream side effect that it caused after being fixed:

On publishing a plugin with the Plugin Publish plugin in conjunction with a version resolution strategy (like the one provided in the nebula gradle-resolution-rules plugin), we would be generating an invalid pom.xml containing potential dependencies with null version elements. This would mean that publishing the plugin would succeed, but would subsequently break any unsuspecting users of that plugin.

As a result it was decided to fail early by throwing an exception when this situation occurs. However, for situations where we would still like to use the resolution strategy and have the resolved version in the generated pom, we are providing the following workaround recipe. In your build file add the following:

//add new configuration
configurations {
    pluginCompile
}

dependencies {
    
    //add unversioned dependencies to the configuration
    pluginCompile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect'

    //iterate over these dependencies, adding the resolved dependencies to chosen configuration
    configurations.pluginCompile.resolvedConfiguration.firstLevelModuleDependencies.each {
        compile "${it.moduleGroup}:${it.moduleName}:${it.moduleVersion}"
    }
}

Create a new configuration in your plugin’s build file. Then add any dependencies not having a version to this build configuration. Lastly, we iterate over all these dependencies and add their resolved dependencies to the configuration of your choice.

Hope this helps, please let me know if this solves your problem!
