What is the Gradle 3.1 equivalent of ReplacedBy?

I’m trying to get some existing Gradle 4.5 config running against Gradle 3.1, and I’m kind of baffled how to rewrite this:

modules {
    module("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging") {
        replacedBy("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-log4j2", "Use Log4j2 instead of Logback")
    }
}

I apologize for the total noob question, but I genuinely have no idea how to proceed, and searches have been unfruitful. Thank you in advance!

To begin with, maybe you should not try to switch from a 7 year old version to a 9 year old version, but instead use newer versions instead. :smiley:

But besides that, if you remove the second argument it will probably work, as only the method with two parameters was added in 4.5:

Circumstances dictated that I deal with two ancient build environments. Believe me, I’d rather have done just about anything else, but there I was.

Thank you for the pointers! I did manage to get it working, and hopefully this will never come up again.
