tasks.register("downloadDependencies") { doLast { configurations.filter { it.isCanBeResolved }.forEach { it.resolve() } } } Use code with caution.
Note that some plugins download dependencies "on the fly" during their specific tasks. These may not be caught by standard resolution and might still require an active internet connection during the first actual build. gradle download dependencies without build
Alternatively, you can use the --dry-run (or -m ) flag with the build command. This processes the dependency graph and downloads artifacts without executing any task actions: ./gradlew build --dry-run Use code with caution. 2. Creating a Custom "Download All" Task Alternatively, you can use the --dry-run (or -m
Since Gradle normally downloads dependencies "on-demand" during task execution, you must use specific commands or custom tasks to force resolution without triggering compilation or testing. 1. Using Built-in Commands Creating a Custom "Download All" Task Since Gradle
./gradlew allDeps # If you created a custom task as shown above Use code with caution. Or, use the built-in Help task for all projects: ./gradlew :dependencies Use code with caution.
