Not able to copy configurations dependencies after upgrading Gradle plugin for Android Studio to 3.0.1 and Gradle to 4.1

Question

I used to copy \'compile\' dependencies to a specific folder using this simple gradle task :

task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
             


        

Answer 1

Another suggestion.

I created my custom config and then used it as configurations.customConfig:

configurations {
  customConfig.extendsFrom implementation
}

The copy task must be correspondingly edited:

task copyLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.customConfig
    into "$project.rootDir/reports/libs/"
}
