Gradle是一个非常好用的编译工具，特别是继承了maven的依赖项管理功能，需要的Library不需要像传统IDE一样手动下载复制到项目中，只需要简单的写一行gradle脚本，就能自动下载下来并编译。

但是有时候会出现各种不明情况的报错，最常见的一种原因就是依赖项版本冲突。

每个模块都可能依赖其他模块，这些模块又会依赖别的模块。而一个项目中的多个模块，对同一个模块的不同版本有依赖，就可能产生冲突。

通过gradle命令查看依赖树，可以比较直观的看到冲突。具体方法是在模块所在的目录，也即build.gradle所在目录下执行gradle dependencies（需要将gradle加入PATH环境变量），执行结果如图。

Transitive

Transitive用于自动处理子依赖项。默认为true，gradle自动添加子依赖项，形成一个多层树形结构；设置为false，则需要手动添加每个依赖项。

案例

以安卓单元测试espresso的配置为例，gradle依赖如下：

1. dependencies {
2. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
3. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
4. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
5. }

运行gradle dependencies的结果如下。可以看到每个包的依赖项都被递归分析并添加进来。

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2
2. | +--- junit:junit-dep:4.10
3. | | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
4. | +--- com.android.support.test:exposed-instrumentation-api-publish:0.2
5. | \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0
6. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
7. | \--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
8. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
9. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2 (*)
10. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
11. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1
12. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
13. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
14. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1
15. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
16. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
17. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
18. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
19. +--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2
20. \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1

统一指定transitive

可以给dependencies统一指定transitive为false，再次执行dependencies可以看到如下结果。

1. configurations.all {
2. transitive = false
3. }
5. dependencies {
6. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
7. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
8. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
9. }

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2
2. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
3. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1

单独指定依赖项的transitive

1. dependencies {
2. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
3. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
4. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1') {
5. transitive = false
6. }
7. }

版本冲突

在同一个配置下（例如androidTestCompile），某个模块的不同版本同时被依赖时，默认使用最新版，gradle同步时不会报错。例如下面的hamcrest-core和runner。

1. dependencies {
2. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.4')
3. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
4. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
5. }

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.4
2. | +--- com.android.support:support-annotations:23.0.1
3. | +--- junit:junit:4.12
4. | | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.3
5. | \--- com.android.support.test:exposed-instrumentation-api-publish:0.4
6. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
7. | \--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 -> 0.4 (*)
8. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
9. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2 (*)
10. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
11. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1
12. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3
13. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
14. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1
15. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3
16. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
17. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
18. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 -> 0.4 (*)
19. +--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2
20. \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3

Force

force强制设置某个模块的版本。

1. configurations.all {
2. resolutionStrategy {
3. force 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.3'
4. }
5. }
6. dependencies {
7. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
8. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
9. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
10. }

可以看到，原本对hamcrest-core 1.1的依赖，全部变成了1.3。

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2
2. | +--- junit:junit-dep:4.10
3. | | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3
4. | +--- com.android.support.test:exposed-instrumentation-api-publish:0.2
5. | \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0
6. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
7. | \--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
8. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
9. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2 (*)
10. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
11. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1
12. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3
13. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
14. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1
15. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3
16. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
17. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
18. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
19. +--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2
20. \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1 -> 1.3

Exclude

Exclude可以设置不编译指定的模块

1. configurations {
2. all*.exclude group: 'org.hamcrest', module: 'hamcrest-core'
3. }
4. dependencies {
5. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
6. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
7. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
8. }

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2
2. | +--- junit:junit-dep:4.10
3. | +--- com.android.support.test:exposed-instrumentation-api-publish:0.2
4. | \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0
5. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
6. | \--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
7. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
8. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2 (*)
9. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
10. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1
11. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
12. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1
13. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
14. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
15. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
16. \--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2

单独使用group或module参数

exclude后的参数有group和module，可以分别单独使用，会排除所有匹配项。例如下面的脚本匹配了所有的group为’com.android.support.test’的模块。

1. configurations {
2. all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support.test'
3. }
4. dependencies {
5. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
6. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
7. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
8. }

1. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
2. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
3. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-integration:1.1
4. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
5. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
6. +--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-library:1.1
7. | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
8. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
9. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
10. +--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2
11. \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1

单独给某个模块指定exclude

1. dependencies {
2. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
3. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
4. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1') {
5. exclude group: 'org.hamcrest'
6. }
7. }

1. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2
2. | +--- junit:junit-dep:4.10
3. | | \--- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:1.1
4. | +--- com.android.support.test:exposed-instrumentation-api-publish:0.2
5. | \--- com.android.support:support-annotations:22.0.0
6. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2
7. | \--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
8. \--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1
9. +--- com.android.support.test:rules:0.2 (*)
10. +--- com.squareup:javawriter:2.1.1
11. +--- com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-idling-resource:2.1
12. +--- javax.inject:javax.inject:1
13. +--- com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1
14. +--- com.android.support.test:runner:0.2 (*)
15. \--- javax.annotation:javax.annotation-api:1.2

不同配置下的版本冲突

同样的配置下的版本冲突，会自动使用最新版；而不同配置下的版本冲突，gradle同步时会直接报错。可使用exclude、force解决冲突。

例如compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'，和androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1'，所依赖的com.android.support:support-annotations版本不同，就会导致冲突。

1. dependencies {
2. compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
3. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.2')
4. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:rules:0.2')
5. androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.1')
6. }

gradle同步时会提示

1. Warning:Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'. Resolved versions for app and test app differ.

执行dependencies会提示

1. FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
3. * What went wrong:
4. A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
5. > Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'. Resolved versions for app and test app differ.
7. * Try:
8. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
10. BUILD FAILED

不兼容

虽然可以通过force、exclude等方式避免依赖项版本冲突，使得grade同步成功，但是并不能代表编译时没有问题。由于不同版本可能不完全兼容，于是会出现各种奇怪的报错。已知的解决思路是更改包的版本、尝试强制使用不同版本的依赖项，找到可兼容的依赖组合。

报错例如：

1. com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/hamcrest/MatcherAssert;
2. at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.readSortableTypes(DexMerger.java:596)
