How can I force update all the snapshot Gradle dependencies in intellij

Question

I have a project with SNAPSHOT dependencies using gradle as its build tool in intellij.

The problem is that intellij is using SNAPSHOTS that are now outdated.

Answer 1

Gradle caches changing modules for 24 hours by default. We can tell Gradle to refresh or redownload dependencies in the build script by marking those as 'changing'.

Follow these steps:

Step #1: Tell Gradle not to cache changing modules by set the value of the cacheChangingModulesFor property to 0 second:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
}

Step #2: Mark dependencies which are needed to be refreshed or redownloaded, as changing module:

dependencies {
    compile("com.howtoprogram.buysell:payment-api:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT") {
        changing = true
    }
}
