Add more information to the transitively used dependencies advice #442

Closed KatieBarnett closed 2 years ago

It would be great to show what the transitively used dependencies listed in the advice can replace (similar to how incorrect configuration tells you what it was). This would help developers know what to do to fix the issue (especially inexperienced developers). The current list can be overwhelming!

Example on what I see now below. Note - some of these dependencies are actually in another module that is a dependency of this module. If that information (i.e. fix in module :core) could be given, that would also be great.

  Transitively used dependencies that should be declared directly as indicated:
  - api("javax.inject:javax.inject:1")
  - api("androidx.paging:paging-common:2.1.2")
  - api("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata:2.2.0")
  - api("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0")
  - api("com.google.dagger:dagger:2.38")
  - api("com.algolia:algoliasearch-client-kotlin-jvm:1.6.2")
  - api("com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6")
  - api("com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:2.38")
  - api("androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4")
  - api("com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0")
  - api("au.net.abc.terminus:terminus:2.12.2")
  - api("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-core:2.3.1")
  - api("com.google.dagger:dagger-android:2.38")
  - api("androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.0")
  - implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-serialization-json-jvm:1.0.1")
  - implementation("androidx.arch.core:core-common:2.1.0")
  - implementation("androidx.fragment:fragment:1.3.2")
  - implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common:2.3.1")
  - testImplementation("org.robolectric:annotations:4.6.1")
  - implementation("androidx.core:core:1.5.0")
  - implementation("com.jakewharton.timber:timber:4.7.1")
  - testImplementation("io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.12")
  - implementation("androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel:2.3.1")
  - implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-jvm:1.4.3")

Try out ./gradlew :core:reason --id javax.inject:javax.inject and let me know what you think (where "core" is the module that has this advice).
