Hello, I'm trying to package pkl to NixOS. However, to this end, I would ideally need a gradle task that only downloads the dependencies, without trying to build the program. Does the project has something like this?

Thanks.

Looks like you should be able to run dependencies, which will download dependencies as a side-effect: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50219857

So, this would work:

./gradlew \
    bench:dependencies \
    docs:dependencies \
    pkl-cli:dependencies \
    pkl-codegen-java:dependencies \
    pkl-codegen-kotlin:dependencies \
    pkl-commons:dependencies \
    pkl-commons-cli:dependencies \
    pkl-commons-test:dependencies \
    pkl-config-java:dependencies \
    pkl-config-kotlin:dependencies \
    pkl-core:dependencies \
    pkl-doc:dependencies \
    pkl-executor:dependencies \
    pkl-gradle:dependencies \
    pkl-server:dependencies \
    pkl-tools:dependencies \
    stdlib:dependencies

Sidenote: seems like every sub-project needs to be included here because naked ./gradlew dependencies only shows dependencies on the root project: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/17829

Aha, that was what I was stuck with, thanks a lot!

This solved most of the problems, but curiously, there seems to be at least one dependency, com.google.googlejavaformat:google-java-format:1.15.0, that did not get pulled by this. I had to add the bench:spotlessJava task to the command to pull this one too.

I'm still going through errors as they appear. But I believe this part is solved.

Thanks for the quick response!
