gradle dependency property with module exclude

Question

i try to write central dependency file for my multi-module project.

ext {

    supportVersion = '25.4.0'

    junitVersion = '4.12'



    supportDependencies = [

        design:            "com.android.support:design:${supportVersion}",

        fragment:          "com.android.support:support-fragment:${supportVersion}",

        recyclerView:      "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:${supportVersion}"

    ]

    ...

}

to use them in modules

compile supportDependencies.design

compile supportDependencies.fragment

compile supportDependencies.recyclerView

but some dependencies have

exclude

to be compiled

androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'

})

when i try to write property how

testingDependencies = [

        espresso:          ('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {

            exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'

        })

]

i receive compile time syntaxis errors

Is it possible to create library-property with exclude in extensions to be compiled in module?

Answer 1

have solved my problem by adding in central dependency file

ext {   
   espressoVersion = '3.0.1'

   testingDependencies = [
        espresso: "com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:${espressoVersion}"
   ]
}

and in module

androidTestCompile(testingDependencies.espresso, {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

so i have still one file with used dependency versions and can simple update versions in all modules
