      • isCanBeDeclared

        @Incubating
boolean isCanBeDeclared()
        Returns true if it is allowed to declare dependencies upon this configuration. Defaults to true.

      • shouldResolveConsistentlyWith

        @Incubating
Configuration shouldResolveConsistentlyWith​(Configuration versionsSource)
        Tells that this configuration, when resolved, should resolve versions consistently from the resolution result of another resolvable configuration. For example, it's expected that the versions of the runtime classpath are the same as the versions from the compile classpath.
        Parameters:
        versionsSource - another resolvable configuration to use as reference for versions
        Returns:
        this configuration

        6.8
        Implementation Requirements:
        Usage: This method should only be called on resolvable configurations and will emit a deprecation warning if called on a configuration that does not permit this usage, or has had allowed this usage but marked it as deprecated.

      • disableConsistentResolution

        @Incubating
Configuration disableConsistentResolution()
        Disables consistent resolution for this configuration.
