[jira] [Reopened] (BEAM-4087) Gradle build does not allow to overwrite versions of provided dependencies

["Ismaël Mejía (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Ismaël Mejía reopened BEAM-4087:
--------------------------------

This is still an issue even if the PR / approach was not merged. We still do not have a practical way to test multiple provided versions of a dependency, and this is probably the only issue bugging me still after 2 years of the move to gradle, we still work by faith based validation for things like multi version compatibility of Kafka and Spark.

It is a pity because this is so simple to do in maven that still surprises me that it demands so much effort to get it done in gradle.

I still think it is worth to explore a way to tackle this, or is there some new simpler way to do it now that I missed?

> In order to test modules with provided dependencies in maven we can execute for example for Kafka `mvn verify -Prelease -Dkafka.clients.version=0.9.0.1 -pl 'sdks/java/io/kafka'` However we don't have an equivalent way to do this with gradle because the version of the dependencies are defined locally and not in the gradle.properties.
