resolutionstrategy.force非常慢

Question

I am developing an Android application in which I resolved a dependency problem with gradle using the following addition to my build.gradle :

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.force 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

This leads to an enormous build-time increase (from ~15s to ~60s). Is there any way to decrease the build time, for example by resolving the conflict in JUnit versions another way? The conflict was introduced by compile 'com.googlecode.json-simple:json-simple:1.1.1' , which uses an earlier JUnit version.

Answer 1

You may add the junit dependency explicitely as a direct dependency, and set forced = true on it.
