How do I view the dependency tree for Gradle's buildSrc?

Question

I can normally view a dependency tree for a project by running ./gradlew dependencies, but I cannot figure out how to view the dependency tree for the Gradle buildSrc directory.

I have tried accessing it as a sub project, ./gradlew buildSrc:dependencies but that does not work.

build.gradle (for buildSrc)

repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies {
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

Answer 1

Consider the following (the only way that I know of):

$ cd buildSrc
$ gradle dependencies

Note, given your build.gradle example, that buildSrc is its own project in Gradle and needs a proper file. Your example doesn't declare any plugins. Assuming you are using Java, a fix is:

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories { 
    mavenCentral() 
}

dependencies {
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.10.19'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
