I have a Gradle build that needs to fetch dependencies from a Nexus repo that has been populated using Maven. Some of the POMs there use version-ranges when specifying a parent POM.
In my build.gradle I put a dependency:
compile group: 'com.company.platform', name: 'abc-common', version: '[11.0,12.0['
The Gradle logs show that a request is made for the versions of abc-common, and its POM and its parent's POM are fetched:
abc-common-11.0.7-17042111.pom:
<parent>
<groupId>com.company.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>abc-parent</artifactId>
<version>11.0.7-17042111</version>
<relativePath>..</relativePath>
</parent>
abc-parent-11.0.7-17042111.pom:
<parent>
<groupId>com.company.corporate</groupId>
<artifactId>corporate-parent</artifactId>
<version>[11.0.7,11.0.8)</version>
<relativePath/>
</parent>
But Gradle fails to fetch the corporate-parent POM. Instead of requesting what versions are present on the repo, it tries to fetch using the version-range literal:
Loading http://nexus.company.com:8081/.../corporate-parent/[11.0.7,11.0.8)/corporate-parent-[11.0.7,11.0.8).pom
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known problem with Gradle? Is there a work-around?
Any help is much appreciated. This is a show-stopper for me. If I can't find a solution, it's back to Maven.
