Gradle mounted reliance given Could not find method providedCompile () gradle providedCompile, compile and runtime difference

Gradle mounted reliance gradle providedCompile, compile and runtime difference

A, Gradle add-dependent error

build.gradle file to add dependencies:

providedCompile group: 'org.projectlombok', name: 'lombok', version: '1.18.8'

Gradle will encounter an error when adding a dependency of build.gradle file, the error message is as follows:

Could not find method providedCompile() for arguments [{group=org.projectlombok, name=lombok, version=1.18.8}] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler

Two, Gradle reason given

Add on top of a dependent after being given a prompt but, after inquiries found that the plug is needed not added.

This reliance on and add the prefix providedCompile, compile and runtime have relationship.

build.gradle add plug-ins

allprojects {
    group = 'com.test'
    version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
    buildDir = 'target'
    apply plugin: 'java'
    apply plugin: 'war'
    apply plugin: 'idea'
    apply plugin: 'maven'

}

Complie: Your jar package or rely on the code, need to rely on at compile time, when running also requires, then use compile

Dependency Complie prefix needs to be configured in the file build.gradle  apply plugin: 'war'orapply plugin: 'java'然后在添加依赖就不会报错了

providedCompile: your bag or jar dependent code at compile time only need to rely on, is not required at run time, then use providedCompile

Use providedCompile prefix dependent, you need to configure the file build.gradle apply plugin: 'war'然后在添加依赖就不会报错了

runtime: your bag or jar dependent code at runtime only need to rely on, does not need at compile time, then use the runtime

Use prefix runtime dependencies, you need to configure the file build.gradle apply plugin: 'java'然后在添加依赖就不会报错了
