build: extract dependencies into three Gradle version catalogs by Copilot · Pull Request #212 · jGleitz/testfiles

Copilot · 2026-03-02T12:38:32Z

Create gradle/libs.versions.toml: spek version ref (used twice); kotest-framework-api as single string
Create gradle/testLibs.versions.toml: all entries as single strings; junit-platform-launcher now includes version 6.0.3
Create gradle/buildLibs.versions.toml: dokka version ref (used twice); develocity, kotlin-jvm, nexus-publish as single strings
settings.gradle.kts: dependencyResolutionManagement below plugins block
Remove constraints blocks from base, kotest, spek build files
Build verified passing

Original prompt

Extract all dependencies into 3 different Gradle version catalogs.

concretely:

extract all production dependencies into gradle/libs.versions.toml

extract all test dependencies into gradle/testLibs.versions.toml

extract all build dependencies, including gradle plugins, into gradle/buildLibs.versions.toml

Then:

register the version catalogs of 2. and 3. in Gradle.

replace all dependency strings with references to the auto-generated accessors for the dependency catalogs.

follow best practices for dependency catalogs. in particular, use shared version numbers from the versions section for libraries that are published together and should always have the same version.

gradle/buildLibs.versions.toml

+develocity = "4.3.2"
+dokka = "2.1.0"
+kotlin = "2.3.10"
+nexus-publish = "2.0.0"


In all three catalogs: Please use version declarations (and references) only when a version is used multiple times. For any other dependency, use the single string notation.

Done in 57fb33b. All three catalogs now only use version refs for versions shared across multiple entries:

libs.versions.toml: spek ref kept (used by spek-dsl-jvm and spek-runtime-jvm); kotest-framework-api uses inline string

testLibs.versions.toml: all versions are unique, so the [versions] section was removed entirely and all use inline strings

buildLibs.versions.toml: dokka ref kept (used by dokka and dokka-javadoc); all others use inline strings

spek/build.gradle.kts

 	constraints {
-		testImplementation(kotlin("reflect"))
+		testImplementation(testLibs.kotlin.reflect)
 	}


I don't think we need this constraints block anymore. Please remove it from all build files. Don't forget to also remove the kotlin-reflect declaration from the dependency catalog. Run the gradle build to verify everything still works after your changes.

Done in 57fb33b — removed the constraints block from all three build files and removed kotlin-reflect from testLibs.versions.toml. Build passes successfully.

Pull request overview

This PR restructures dependency management by splitting dependencies and Gradle plugins into three separate version catalogs (prod/test/build) and updating build scripts to use the generated catalog accessors across the project.

Changes:

Added three version catalogs: libs (prod), testLibs (test-only), and buildLibs (build + plugins).
Registered testLibs and buildLibs catalogs in settings.gradle.kts.
Replaced inline dependency/plugin coordinates in build scripts with version-catalog accessors; removed prior constraints blocks.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 7 out of 8 changed files in this pull request and generated 1 comment.

gradle/buildLibs.versions.toml

+dokka = "2.1.0"
+
+[plugins]
+develocity = "com.gradle.develocity:4.3.2"


buildLibs defines the develocity plugin here, but it isn’t referenced anywhere in the build (settings.gradle.kts still hardcodes the Develocity plugin + version). This risks the catalog drifting from the actual plugin version; either switch the settings plugin declaration to use the catalog entry, or remove develocity from this catalog if it can’t be used there due to settings plugin block ordering.

Suggested change

develocity = "com.gradle.develocity:4.3.2"
