Android Studio handle SNAPSHOT dependencies

Question

I'm having some troubles by using a SNAPSHOT dependency on Android Studio 3.0.1. I've also tried Android Studio 3.1, and the same issue remains.

I'm including the dependency in the following way:

dependencies {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
        resolutionStrategy.cacheDynamicVersionsFor 0, 'seconds'
    }
    implementation('com.example:lib:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT') { changing = true }
}

When a new version of the library is published, if I click the "Refresh all Gradle projects" icon, the app builds fine. However, Android Studio doesn't see any change made in the snapshot.

I've already tried to restart Android Studio and to invalidate its cache, without any difference.

How to make Android Studio aware of the changes?

Answer 1

I have the same problem. So far, what works for me is to refresh the dependencies through the command line:

./gradlew clean --refresh-dependencies

After that, quit AS completely and open it again. I'll update my answer if I find something else.

Answer 2

It is a bug in studio 3.1 -> https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72614343

Fixed in latest Canary version (3.2)
