2.25.3 is unavailable on Gradle repository

[TimvdLippe]

https://github.com/mockito/mockito/runs/6394267570?check_suite_focus=true fails resolving 2.25.3 for com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-lib and com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-lib-extra
Gradle version 7.3.1
Spotless version 6.6.0

Corresponding Dependabot PR at mockito/mockito#2641

It seems to be on mavenCentral:

• https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.diffplug.spotless/spotless-lib
• https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.diffplug.spotless/spotless-lib-extra

Seems like you're using a non-standard repository configuration.

Happy to change our publishing process if there's something helpful we can do, but I don't know how to force mavenCentral mirrors to resync.

I suspect that the Gradle plugin portal has stopped mirroring upstream repositories: https://repo.gradle.org/ui/native/jcenter/com/diffplug/spotless/spotless-lib/

Put this in settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

I suspect that the Gradle plugin portal has stopped mirroring upstream repositories: https://repo.gradle.org/ui/native/jcenter/com/diffplug/spotless/spotless-lib/

Put this in settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

This solves the issue for me.

Is there any statement of the gradle folks about a change concerning mirroring?
Could the spotless-lib be deployed directly to the Gradle plugin portal?

[nedtwigg]

Weird, I just confirmed there has been some kind of change. For plugin-gradle 6.5.2, everything works with the default repositories. With plugin-gradle 6.6.0, you have to explicitly add mavenCentral() as indicated in the above workaround. We didn't change anything about our publishing process...

I described the behavior change and asked the Gradle team about it here.

Hey folks,

Sorry about that. The Gradle JCenter mirror had one timeout with a too high value. I believe that what happened is a request was made before JCenter itself had mirrored Maven Central - we have noticed delays there recently. And in that case, we were caching that miss for too long.
Issue has been fixed and the dependency can now be found.

Thanks @ljacomet !
I also had to do a ./gradlew :help --refresh-dependencies to get around

> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not find spotless-lib-extra-2.25.3.jar (com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-lib-extra:2.25.3).
     Searched in the following locations:

I successfully merged the Dependabot PR after the fix from the Gradle folks. Thanks for the quick resolution!
