Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Deprecated configurations

Detects usage of configuration methods that were deprecated.

Configuration methods may be deprecated because of two possible reasons:

  • The Gradle API has evolved, so old method choices should be avoided;

  • Some plugin provides a better version of the deprecated configuration method.

Most likely there will be an alternative for the deprecated method.

Example:

plugins { id 'java' } dependencies { archive 'org.gradle.api:gradle:1.0' // reports 'archive' }
