Is there Gradle “dependencies ” task for buildScript dependencies?

Question

One can run gradlew dependencies to learn about dependencies of module tasks. It there a way to find transitive dependencies of buildscript dependencies

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no way to specify the build script configuration to the implicit dependencies task via the CLI. You'll have to explicitly define a task of type DependencyReportTask configured with your build script configuration.

task buildscriptDependencies(type: DependencyReportTask) {
    configurations = [buildscript.configurations.classpath]
}

Update:

Beginning with Gradle 2.10 you can now get information on buildscript dependencies via

gradle buildEnvironment
