Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.gradle.UpgradeTransitiveDependencyVersion

Artifactorg.openrewrite:rewrite-gradle

Upgrades the version of a transitive dependency in a Gradle build file. There are many ways to do this in Gradle, so the mechanism for upgrading a transitive dependency must be considered carefully depending on your style of dependency management.

Options

6 parameters

2 required4 optional

Parameter	Example	Type	Required
artifactId	jackson-module*	String	Required
The second part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. This can be a glob expression.
groupId	com.fasterxml.jackson*	String	Required
The first part of a dependency coordinate com.google.guava:guava:VERSION. This can be a glob expression.
because	CVE-2021-1234	String	Optional
The reason for upgrading the transitive dependency. For example, we could be responding to a vulnerability.
onlyForConfigurations	implementation, runtimeOnly	List	Optional
A list of configurations to consider during the upgrade. For example, For example using implementation, runtimeOnly, we could be responding to a deployable asset vulnerability only (ignoring test scoped vulnerabilities).
version	29.X	String	Optional
An exact version number or node-style semver selector used to select the version number. You can also use latest.release for the latest available version and latest.patch if the current version is a valid semantic version. For more details, you can look at the documentation page of [version selectors](https://docs.openrewrite.org/reference/dependency-version-selectors). Defaults to latest.release.
versionPattern	-jre	String	Optional
Allows version selection to be extended beyond the original Node Semver semantics. So for example,Setting 'newVersion' to "25-29" can be paired with a metadata pattern of "-jre" to select Guava 29.0-jre
