This can avoid creating an additional 736 tasks (previously 502 out of
1591 were not created). That's not all that important as the build time
is essentially the same, but this lets us see the poor behavior of the
protobuf plugin in our own project and increase our understanding of how
to avoid task creation when developing the plugin. Of the tasks still
being created, protobuf is the highest contributor with 165 tasks,
followed by maven-publish with 76 and appengine with 53. The remaining
59 are from our own build, but indirectly caused by maven-publish.
This moves our depedencies into a plain file that can be read and
updated by tooling. While the current tooling is not particularly better
than just using gradle-versions-plugin, it should put us on better
footing. gradle-versions-plugin is actually pretty nice, but will be
incompatible with Gradle 8, so we need to wait a bit to see what the
future holds.
Left libraries as an alias for libs to reduce the commit size and make
it easier to revert if we don't end up liking this approach.
We're using Gradle 7.3.3 where it was an incubating fetaure. But in
Gradle 7.4 is became stable.
failOnVersionConflict has never been good for us. It is equivalent to
Maven dependencyConvergence which we discourage our users to use because
it is too tempermental and _creates_ version skew issues over time.
However, we had no real alternative for determining if our deps would be
misinterpeted by Maven.
failOnVersionConflict has been a constant drain and makes it really hard
to do seemingly-trivial upgrades. As evidenced by protobuf/build.gradle
in this change, it also caused _us_ to introduce a version downgrade.
This introduces our own custom requireUpperBoundDeps implementation so
that we can get back to simple dependency upgrades _and_ increase our
confidence in a consistent dependency tree.
This resolves the following warning when building with JDK 8 introduced
in 9c5427fd4:
javadoc: warning - Error fetching URL: https://google.github.io/guava/releases/30.0-android/api/docs/
Guava is now building their Javadoc with JDK 11. JDK 11 swapped from
producing package-list to element-list, and stopped creating
package-list entirely. This file is what Javadoc uses to cross-link
documentation, and so it no longer works on the JDK 8 build, even though
the files have virtually the same contents.
ListenableFuture was the only reason we were including the Guava
Javadoc; let's just drop the link instead of worrying about this
silliness.
- Use gradle configuration `api` for dependencies that are part of grpc public api signatures.
- Replace deprecated gradle configurations `compile`, `testCompile`, `runtime` and `testRuntime`.
- With minimal change in dependencies: If we need dep X and Y to compile our code, and if X transitively depends on Y, then our build would still pass even if we only include X as `compile`/`implementation` dependency for our project. Ideally we should include both X and Y explicitly as `implementation` dependency for our project, but in this PR we don't add the missing Y if it is previously missing.
io.grpc has fewer dependencies than io.grpc.internal. Moving it to a
separate artifact lets users use the API without bringing in the deps.
If the library has an optional dependency on grpc, that can be quite
convenient.
We now version-pin both grpc-api and grpc-core, since both contain
internal APIs.
I had to change a few tests in grpc-api to avoid FakeClock. Moving
FakeClock to grpc-api was difficult because it uses
io.grpc.internal.TimeProvider, which can't be moved since it is a
production class. Having grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core's test
classes would be weird and cause a circular dependincy. Having
grpc-api's tests depend on grpc-core is likely possible, but weird and
fairly unnecessary at this point. So instead I rewrote the tests to
avoid FakeClock.
Fixes#1447
This PR adds an automatic gradle format checker and reformats all the *.gradle files. After this, new changes to *.gradle files will fail to build if not in good format, just like checkStyle failure.
The new plugin uses a newer version of animalsniffer, allows overriding
the animalsniffer version used, and has up-to-date handling. The
up-to-date handling cuts fully incremental parallel build times in half,
from 5.5s to 2.7s.
The previous plugin was supposed to be verifying tests. However, either
it wasn't verifying them or its verification was broken.
