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

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The problem is that intellij is using SNAPSHOTS that are now outdated. enter image description here

When I build the project on the command line

gradle build or 
gradle clean build --refresh-dependencies

On command line the latest dependencies are fetched. I also setup my grade file to always download snapshot dependencies according to this answer.

How can I force intellij to download all dependencies?

Solution

  • I have run into some very sticky snapshots. There are a few options you can try:

    • On the Gradle tab (right side of UI), click the blue circling arrows icon, which should refresh the dependencies (works in most cases)
    • If that does not work, try running the gradle command in IntelliJ using the Green "run Gradle command" icon - this runs the command in IntelliJs environment not that of your local machine.
    • If both of those fail, you can modify your Gradle resolutionStrategy settings to something like: configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.cacheDynamicVersionsFor 4, 'hours' resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 4, 'hours' } This config change is a last-ditch option and should be used sparingly. It basically tells Gradle to refresh the local cache more often. You should click the IntelliJ Gradle refresh button after making these changes.
