Struggling with gradle dependencies

[stepsword]

So I have a soft dependency on GameStages where basically I am doing this:

 

@Mod.EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
    if (Loader.isModLoaded("gamestages")) {
        gamestages = new GameStagesLoadedProxy();
    } else {
        gamestages = new GameStagesProxy();
    }
}

 

GameStagesLoadedProxy has references to GameStage's helper class. 

 

In my gradle file I've added GameStages as a "provided" dependency, which from the description should just be an optional dependency. When I try to run the debug client in IntelliJ, though, it tries to load GameStages and complains about Bookshelf (a dependency of GameStages) not being loaded.

 

(net.minecraftforge.fml.common.MissingModsException: Mod gamestages (Game Stages) requires [bookshelf@[2.2.458,)])

 

I added Bookshelf as a provided dependency too, and get the same error. I also restarted IntelliJ and cleared the cache. I don't even know why GameStages is being loaded when I run it in the first place - it's a provided dependency which I thought would mean it doesn't get loaded unless I check the box "Include dependencies with Provided scope" which is not checked. 

 

Here is my full build.gradle file. Ideally I'd like to turn on and off whether GameStages runs when I'm debugging, but I'd settle for it both compiling and just not being included.. I just want to make sure I can debug the mod without any dependencies running at all, and can worry about doing it with dependencies from the twitch launcher.

Anyone have any experience with this?

As an update, running ".\gradlew idea" after "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" fixed the bookshelf not loading issue, but I'm still having the "why is this even loading in the first place when it's set as 'provided' issue"

Even soft dependencies must be there at compile time. However it sounds like you are having problems with IntelliJ not working like you are supposed to have you looked around on other forums that are a out IntelliJ?

I haven't found anyone with a similar problem - the soft dependencies are there at compile time and the mod actually works both with and without the soft dependencies (after testing on Twitch). The "provided" keyword supposedly makes them optional at runtime. My main issue is that I can't seem to disable them at runtime in the intelliJ debug client (even though there seems to be a specific setting which ignores provided things at runtime). Well, I'll go look more at IntelliJ forums then, I realize this is more of a problem with IntelliJ than anything else but I was wondering if it was something specific to Minecraft since I don't really know at all how IntelliJ interacts with Forge to load mods in a debug environment

As an update this was because I hadn't correctly integrated gradle into IntelliJ. Solution was to find the build.gradle file and right click > Import Gradle project. Then I can run debug on Forge's runClient which allows me to load mods properly
