Error - Failed to resolve: mypackage:myrepo:xx

[mfdeveloper]

Hi @lodlock, I followed the steps to use this gradle plugin, but I got the error below:

Failed to resolve: com.mypackage:myrepo:xx

Where:

myrepo: Is a name of my repository/library
xx: Is the version of my library (e.g 1.0)

So, I tried define explicitly the applicationId and versionName into the build.gradle file of my git dependency library, and I get the error below:

Obs: The repo needs be added like a Android Studio module

Library projects cannot set applicationId...

How can I use this plugin in this situation? Is not clear for me like the compile( ) gradle will find my library. Do you can help me?

Thank you so much for your attention :)

Hey, @mfdeveloper I'm more than happy to help. From the sounds of things one of two things might be going on here.

1. The dependency of the myrepo repo that is being cloned is designated as an android library but it has the applicationId value set in its defaultConfig within the build.gradle file. Which would cause an error when it is compiled.
2. The plugin might be pulling the wrong module and is attempting to load the repos application instead of the desired library module. If this is the case it can be bypassed utilizing the regex replacement options built into the main gitDroid config using something like:

gitDroid {
replaceValues = [ "" : [
        "applicationId \"com.example.appid\""
        ]
    ]
}

Which should strip it out if found in the cloned modules build.gradle file prior to it being compiled.

If you can provide me with your build.gradle or some more information on how you are setting it up I'm sure I can help get this fixed up. The more details the better. If you do not want to publicly post your work you can email the gradle files to me to review.
