  🐛 Describe the bug

  Version in versions.properties get unused when it's only used with versionFor().

⚠️ Current behavior

My versions get unused

✅ Expected behavior

Do not add unused when it's used by versionFor()

💣 Steps to reproduce

• Create a new Android project (or use a existing one)
• Add Jetpack Compose to this project
• Add the folowing version : version.androidx.compose.compiler=1.1.1
• Add composeOptions in build.gradle.kts :

composeOptions {
    kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion = versionFor(AndroidX.compose.compiler)
}

• run ./gradlew refreshVersions and see Compose Compiler get an unused in versions.properties

Note: Compose Compiler need to be used only in versionFor to be annotated with unused

Hello, any news on this @jmfayard @LouisCAD ?

[LouisCAD]

Hello, I just made an experiment to see if we can avoid this unwanted unused comment, and it should work, so I'll try to implement it soon.

We should also be able to factor these usages in when looking for available versions.

Thanks for raising this back.

The 0.41.0-SNAPSHOT version contains the change that addresses this issue. I'll publish a release this weekend or next week.

[jmfayard]

Please don't override version 0.40.2-SNAPSHOT@louiscad

Some people use it since months to get dependencies updates in their versions catalog

[LouisCAD]

I think the 0.40.2 release did remove the related snapshot, not this 0.41.0 snapshot.

OK, but apparently the version is still not being updated by refreshVersions? I expect it to be as it is indeed used.

[LouisCAD]

@mcpiroman Wrong issue, or you're on an older version?

[mcpiroman]

I mean I have

[versions]
skiko = "0.7.42"
[libraries]
skiko = { module = "org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko", version.ref = "skiko" }

Then I do api("org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko-awt-runtime-${targetOs}-${targetArch}:${versionFor("org.jetbrains.skiko:skiko:_")}") Then the update comments are not generated for skiko.

Is this maybe some other issue? I use 0.51.0

Are you using configureOnDemand?

[mcpiroman]

I don't.
