Gradle task to invalidate the cache for a single passed dependency

README.md

Gradle Invalidate Task

Note: This is just a quickly hacked together task

To Use:

• Paste the task below in a gradle build file
• Call gradle invalidate -Pdependency=group:name:version substituting the dependency you want to invalidate.

build.gradle

task invalidate() {
    doLast {
        def depPath
        if (project.hasProperty('dependency')) {
            depPath = dependency.replace(':','/')
        } else {
            logger.error("Please pass a dependency to invalidate. Ex: gradle invalidate -Pdependency=group:name:version")
        }

        configurations.all.each { conf ->
            conf.each { file ->
                def path = file.getCanonicalPath()
                if (path.contains(depPath) && file.exists()) { // Note: file could be listed multiple times
                    logger.warn("Removing from cache: {}", path)
                    file.delete()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
