Version Checker Gradle Lint

Warning on new versions available even when using Kotlin-DSL plugin.

This detector checks with a central repository to see if there are newer versions available for the dependencies used by your project. This is similar to the GradleDependency check, which checks for newer versions available. This works with any Google, MavenCentral, JCenter, or Jitpack dependency, and connects to the remote library if the reference does not exist in the local cache. The cache lifetime default is 60 minutes but can be modified in versionlint.properties into buildSrc module.

Install

Run script install.sh:

bash install.sh

Or copy manually version-checker.jar to $HOME/.android/lint/

Configuration: buildSrc/versionlint.properties:

Default values

versionlint.cache.time.minutes=60
versionlint.prerelease.enable=false
versionlint.versions.file=Versions
versionlint.dependencies.suffix=Libs

• Cache

versionlint.cache.time.minutes=60

• Versions file name:

versionlint.versions.file=Versions

Create your version file

object Versions {

    val kotlinVersion = "1.3.70"
   
    val junit4Version = "4.12"
}

Create libraries files

object Libs {

    val kotlin = "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:${Versions.kotlinVersion}"
}

object TestLibs {

    val junit4 = "junit:junit:${Versions.junit4Version}"
}

object OtherLibs {

    val myLib = "mylib:mylib:${Versions.myLib}"
