I am using android studio and in project structure -> dependencies tab following options i can see:
my question: what is the difference between compile, testCompile and provided in gradle dependency
compile
is the group of dependencies you need to build your application while testCompile
is a group of dependencies that you need only for testing.
Look for instance at this build.gradle
(taken from here )
apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'org.hibernate', name: 'hibernate-core', version: '3.6.7.Final'
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+'
}
This specifies that hibernate-core
is needed to build your code but junit
(a testing framework) is needed just for testing. Since it's not needed at runtime, it's not going to be included in the released package.
You should read the User Guide that comes with the distribution, or read it online at http://gradle.org/documentation/ .
In short, "compile" is for dependencies for your "main" code, "testCompile" for your test classes, and "provided" is used for dependencies that are used at compile time, but not stored in your WAR file (because they're expected to be available in your web container).
