One click dependencies fix

1. dependency-analysis-gradle-plugin

   1 11 1,853 9.4 Kotlin

   Gradle plugin for JVM projects written in Java, Kotlin, Groovy, or Scala; and Android projects written in Java or Kotlin. Provides advice for managing dependencies and other applied plugins

   If you maintain a JVM1 or Android project, chances are you've heard of the Dependency Analysis Gradle Plugin (DAGP). With over 1800 stars, it's used by some of largest Gradle projects in the world, as well as by Gradle itself. It fills what would otherwise be a substantial hole in the Gradle ecosystem: without it, I know of no other way to eliminate unused dependencies and to correctly declare all your actually-used dependencies. In other words, when you use this plugin, your dependency declarations are exactly what you need to build your project: nothing more, nothing less.

5. foundry

   4 4 438 9.8 Kotlin

   Gradle and IntelliJ build tooling used in Slack's Android repo (by slackhq)

   

   The problem is that, if your tool only tells you all the problems you have but doesn't also fix them, you might have a massive(ly annoying) problem on your hands. I mentioned this as an important consideration in my recent rant against code style formatters. This is why, since v1.11.0, DAGP has had a fixDependencies task, which takes the problem report and rewrites build scripts in-place. Even before that, in v0.46.0, the plugin had first-class support for registering a "post-processing task" to enable advanced users to consume the "build health" report in any manner of their choosing. Foundry (née The Slack Gradle Plugin), for example, has a feature called the "dependency rake", which predates and inspired fixDependencies.

6. kotlin-editor

   5 1 42 8.8 Kotlin

   

   For another thing, the build script rewriter has relied on a simplified grammar for parsing and rewriting Gradle Groovy and Kotlin DSL build scripts. That grammar can fail if your scripts are complex.2 This problem will soon be solved with the introduction of a Gradle Kotlin DSL parser built on the KotlinEditor grammar, which has full support for the Kotlin language. (Gradle Groovy DSL scripts will continue to use the old simplified grammar, for now.)

7. hermit

   6 4 613 7.0 Go

   🐚 Hermit manages isolated, self-bootstrapping sets of tools in software projects. (by cashapp)

   

   (nb: we use gradle and not ./gradlew because we manage gradle per-repo with hermit.)

8. gradle-dependencies-sorter

   7 2 263 8.1 Kotlin

   A CLI app and Gradle plugin to sort the dependencies in your Gradle build scripts

   

   If you do all the preceding, you should have a successful build with a minimal dependency graph. 🎉 But your dependency blocks will be horribly out-of-order, which can make them hard to visually scan. DAGP makes no effort to keep the declarations sorted because that is an orthogonal concern and different teams might have different ordering preferences. This is why I've also authored and published the Gradle Dependencies Sorter CLI and plugin, which applies what I consider to be a reasonable default. If you apply this to your builds (which we do to all of our builds via our convention plugins), you can follow-up :fixAllDependencies with

   cloc counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.
