Submodule dependency resolution from main module

Help/Discuss

I have web and service two modules in my project. I am forcing a particular version of hibernate-core:5.2.4 in root build.gradle file, in web module I am using

compile project(':service')

In service module i am using spring boot (1.4.2) starter data jpa module and following block. By default spring-boot-data-jpa has hibernate-core:5.0.11.Final therefore, excluding it so that forced version of 5.2.4.Final can be found.

compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa:${springBootVersion}") {
	exclude(module: 'spring-boot-starter-logging')
	exclude(group: 'org.hibernate', module: 'hibernate-core')
	exclude(group: 'org.hibernate', module: 'hibernate-entitymanager')
}

When i check service:dependencyInsight hibernate-core:5.2.4.Final is forced. But, when I check web:dependencyInsight hibernate-core:5.0.11.Final is used.

Even I do have fail on version conflict its not failing and not sure how 5.0.11.Final is being put on service compile dependency.

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
    failOnVersionConflict()
}

Note sure from where 5.0.11,Final is being added and how to overcome it. Any help will be really appreciable.

Each project has its own configuration. Changing the root project has no effect on the subprojects.

You can use an allProjects {} block in the root if you want to configure something in all projects.

Also if you force a version, an exclude is not necessary.

you can call “gradle webmodule:dependencies” and you will see where Gradle finds this version in the web module.
