Gradle expects guice no_aop component but is not found in Guice 5.0.1

[Dhivyaa21]

Current Behavior

Gradle complains about no_aop component of Guice 5.0.1

Context

This issue results in exception during gradle dependency resolution.

Your Environment

My dependencies block

dependencies {
  implementation 'io.github.cdancy:artifactory-rest:1.0.0'
  testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.7.0'
  testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.7.0'
}

The only dependency that pulls Guice is the artifactory-rest.

Downgrading Guice to 4.2.2 resolves this issue but I would like to know if it will be downgraded in your library.

It appears to be related to google/guice#1505

@Dhivyaa21 thanks for reporting. @martinda we could add a dependency on the relevant library. What do you think? I don't see any other options and don't think it's wrong in any sense.

Here is the smallest build.gradle file that can reproduce the issue:

plugins {
    id 'java-library'
    id 'application'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.cdancy:artifactory-rest:1.0.0'
    implementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:3.0.5'
}

Reproduce with: gradle clean build

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':startScripts'.
> Error while evaluating property 'relativeClasspath' of task ':startScripts'
   > Could not resolve all files for configuration ':runtimeClasspath'.
      > Could not find guice-5.0.1-no_aop.jar (com.google.inject:guice:5.0.1).
        Searched in the following locations:
            https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/google/inject/guice/5.0.1/guice-5.0.1-no_aop.jar

The error goes away when I comment out the application plugin or the groovy-all dependency.

Upgrading to a minimum of groovy-all:3.0.6 appears to fix the issue. I tried 3.0.6 through to 3.0.10, and going back to 3.0.5. I don't understand where this was fixed exactly, but it looks like it was fixed with groovy 3.0.6.

I wrote this gist and it tells me what brings the no_aop artifact. It's caused by groovy-all:3.0.5:

    org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:3.0.5;runtime
        Resolved dependencies:
        org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-testng:3.0.5;runtime
            Artifacts:
            groovy-testng-3.0.5.jar (org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-testng:3.0.5)
            Resolved dependencies:
            org.testng:testng:7.1.0;runtime
                Artifacts:
                testng-7.1.0.jar (org.testng:testng:7.1.0)
                Resolved dependencies:
                com.google.inject:guice:5.0.1;runtime
                    Artifacts:
                    guice-5.0.1-no_aop.jar (com.google.inject:guice:5.0.1)

Gradle certainly did not make this one easy.

@martinda In Gradle, it's possible to substitute the dependency. More about it here.
In the case of guice it's possible to replace no_aop with the unclassified version, using the following configuration:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
        substitute module('com.google.inject:guice') using module('com.google.inject:guice:5.0.1') withoutClassifier()
    }
}

Hope it helps.

Upgrading to groovy-all:3.0.6 or higher works (I tried 3.0.6 and 3.0.12, as well as org.apache.groovy:groovy-all:4.0.4). So it's not really an issue for artifactory-rest to fix.

[jiridanek]

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
        substitute module('com.google.inject:guice') using module('com.google.inject:guice:5.0.1') withoutClassifier()
    }
}

I'm using Kotlin DSL and the Kotlin-equivalent of this did not seem to be removing the classifier. (The result of the code below tries to get guice 5.0.0, but still with the no_aop, for me, so it works partially.)

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
        substitute(module("com.google.inject:guice:6.0.0")).using((module("com.google.inject:guice:5.0.0"))).withoutArtifactSelectors().withoutClassifier()
    }
}

What worked for me was an approach from https://discuss.gradle.org/t/remove-transitive-dependency-with-classifier-and-replace-with-new-one-without-classifier/26324/5

configurations.all {
    // guice 5.x stopped shipping no_aop jar
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency {
        if (this.requested.module.toString() == "com.google.inject:guice") {
            this.artifactSelection {
                this.selectArtifact(DependencyArtifact.DEFAULT_TYPE, null, null)
            }
        }
    }
}
