Using `latest.integration` for maven snapshot does not fetch the latest

Help/Discuss
1

I’m using the version catalog (Gradle 7.4.1) and I need to access snapshots libraries as they are instable at this time. But I would like to get the latest versions. For that I’m using latest.integration as documented on the gradle doc for dynamic versions.

[versions]
fireplace = "latest.integration"

[libraries]
fireplace-swing = { module = "io.github.bric3.fireplace:fireplace-swing", version.ref = "fireplace" }
fireplace-swing-animation = { module = "io.github.bric3.fireplace:fireplace-swing-animation", version.ref = "fireplace" }

[bundles]
fireplace = ["fireplace-swing", "fireplace-swing-animation"]

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots")
}

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.bundles.fireplace) {
        isChanging = true
    }
}

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor(0, "seconds")
    resolutionStrategy.cacheDynamicVersionsFor(0, "seconds")
}

On the repository the maven-metadata.xml, indicates the following :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>
  <groupId>io.github.bric3.fireplace</groupId>
  <artifactId>fireplace-swing</artifactId>

      <version>89cb6fa-SNAPSHOT</version>

    </versions>
    <lastUpdated>20220321073023</lastUpdated>
  </versioning>
</metadata>

However even after a ./gradlew --refresh-dependencies, the latest snapshot is not used.

./gradlew dependencyInsight --dependency fireplace
Type-safe dependency accessors is an incubating feature.

I don’t think I’ve done something wrong. But maybe I missed something.

I’ve also tried to set the version as a +

- fireplace = "latest.integration"
+ fireplace = "+"

To get the latest version I must write the snapshot version manually

- fireplace = "latest.integration"
+ fireplace = "3a9439c-SNAPSHOT"

Could it because the snapshots have the commit it ?
