Plugin Verifier `org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.dependency.updater` not found

IntelliJ Platform

I noticed that my plugin become incompatible from build 252.x because the org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.dependency.updater is no longer resolved. For me, it looks like it is no longer a bundled plugin, which makes very limited sense.

What happened to the dependency updater, and what is the migration path?

We use:

  • Platform Version: IC, 2023.3.8
  • org.jetbrains.intellij.platform:2.2.1
  • no custom pinned versions

And we are compatible from 233 to 251.

Hi, it became a sub-module of Gradle for Java plugin intellij-community/plugins/gradle/gradle-dependency-updater/resources/intellij.gradle.dependencyUpdater.xml at master · JetBrains/intellij-community · GitHub

Probably you can still depend on it via:

<dependencies>
  <module name="intellij.gradle.dependencyUpdater"/>
</dependencies>

ID of plugin for build classpath - org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle

I’d also recommend using com.intellij.externalSystem.ExternalDependencyModificator and get GradleDependencyModificator indirectly from com.intellij.externalSystem.ExternalDependencyModificator#EP_NAME instead of depending on this module, it never meant to be used as API.

Hi, thanks alot it is compatible again, but now we have a logical problem. I get two instances when calling com.intellij.externalSystem.ExternalDependencyModificator#EP_NAME.getInstances(project) one for gradle one for maven. How do I determine the correct one, efficient?
Either there is a hidden mechanism I was unable to find, or I have to determine it based on the module/project configuration, I suspect.

And another small question, which module is to use if the File which needs the dependency is a scratch file?

Here is how you can determine if GRADLE is used for a Module.

String externalSystemId = ExternalSystemModulePropertyManager.getInstance(module)
    .getExternalSystemId();

And you ask ExternalDependencyModificator.supports(Module) to know which provider supports it.

and what is the correct module for a scracht file?

I have no idea, but it is also incorrect way of using scratch files. They are considered fully independent

It looks different in the documentation Scratch files | IntelliJ IDEA Documentation. What’s described here is precisely our use case for scratch files.

Our plugin generates an OpenRewrite imperative recipes based on a selection. These recipes are not intended to be part of the code base under development but live next to it for a period of time. Because most productive code bases have no dependency to OpenRewrite we have to add the dependency on the fly.

Because it’s documented how to archive this manually, I wonder if there is a way to do it manually.
