How do I add github dependencies to build.gradle?

[That_Martin_Guy]

A mod I want to create requires CoFH core, and I see no source download for this. Therefore I go onto their github and try and add the clone command found there to my build.gradle 

dependencies { compile 'https://github.com/CoFH/CoFHCore.git' }

(The code isn't actually all on one line, the formatter was just not happy with me copy pasting it.)

 

I run "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies", followed by gradlew dependencies, but it says lines like

testRuntime - Runtime dependencies for source set 'test'.
\--- https://github.com/CoFH/CoFHCore.git: FAILED

.

 

So instead I use  

compile 'scm:git:git://github.com/CoFH/CoFHCore.git'

which I found in their build.gradle, but it provides a similar result. What am I doing wrong?

You can also use CurseForge as a Maven repository, see the documentation. I explain this in more detail here.

You can't add github repositories as a dependency by default. You can use something like https://jitpack.io/ though.

I did find an existing version of CoFH-Core on there, but when I ran gradlew dependencies it showed

testRuntime - Runtime dependencies for source set 'test'.
+--- com.github.CoFH:CoFHCore:a19dbc5eea
|    \--- mezz.jei:jei_1.11.2:4.5.0.+ FAILED

Is this an error on CoFH's part? I don't think 4.5.0.+ is a valid version of JEI (I might be wrong though). Also, I tried adding my own version of JEI, also via jitpack, but JEI doesn't show up in game, and no new files are created in my project directory. Is this intended? Do I still need a jar for viewing the CoFH's source code in my IDE?

So I simply cloned the 1.10.2 branch (since that is the version I'm working on) and moved the src folders to my project. However, I get a ton of errors in IDEA (mostly related to IDEA not recognizing it should compile for java 1.8). If I try to use gradlew runClient with the dependencies in build.gradle it tells me this:

> Could not find mezz.jei:jei_1.10.2:3.14.7.416.

. If I remove the dependencies from build.gradle the output still gives a ton of errors, mostly it telling me not to use code only available in java 1.7+. What did I do wrong?

You need add the dependency repositories used by CoFH to your build.gradle file manually, JitPack doesn't seem to handle that automatically.

 

Basically, copy the repositories from the repositories section of CoFHCore's build.gradle file into the repositories section of your build.gradle file. Use the repositories sections in the main body, not in the buildscript section.

 

I also had to add the universal classifier to the CoFHCore dependency, e.g. deobfCompile 'com.github.CoFH:CoFHCore:f60b7b70fe:universal'.
